Have you actually weighed front vs rear axle weights? That info will be helpful in any ' hop' condition, road or field
This! Every time I hear people complain about tire performance you can almost assume that 90% haven't started with the basics, getting axle weights and adjusting air pressure have solved every tire performance problem we have had
Or even tried to adjust pressure to see if it makes a difference...
I can't tell you how many times I get to a tractor for something, and the farmer starts complaining about ride, power hop, bouncing, etc...and I get my tire gauge out and the tires are at 35psi. "Well, it's what it said on the tire"
Yeah, but 800/70R38's on a 520 Versatile with ZERO weight needs about 10psi, not 35psi. Miraculously, they call a week later and it's better, like a new tractor again....well, that would also be because I set them before it left the dealership when it was a new tractor.
It's not everyone, and I hate to generalize, but man, it's exhausting to have to fight simple problems along with the major ones. The simple ones are the one's that cause guys to want to trade colors...

EDIT: I guess I need guys to get int he fields, they are driving me insane trying to get things ready and it appears I'm getting cranky LOL
