14x28 is 16.9x28 in modern measurements. 11x28 is 12.4-28
if you do so you need bigger front tires as well, or they will eat away quick due to excessive friction in 4wd.
 
whys that if they are 28 tall i shouldnt need to change the front tyre size
 
It's the metal centre thats 28". Outside tyre diameter ( and therefore its circumference) varies with the width of the centre.
 
ok then so what size front tyres would i have to put on???
 
10-24??? 9.5-24??? I dont know, something like that
 
Best solution might be your local tyreman. When he knows your present front/rear sizes he can cross refer to tyre makers listing for lower or higher tyres - this applies to any 4WD tractor. Important thing is that front wheels are not turning too fast or slow for rear ones - fronts are usually advanced 2 to 5%
 
all this is complicated probobaly easier andd cheaper to leave it standard
 
If you put 16.9/14-28, this is 12% bigger circumference then normal.
So, you need to increase fronts for same %.
Fronts are 8.00-20?
If so, new size must be 11.2/10-20 or 8.00-24 then. You'll need wider/taller front rims, and power steering, but tractor will look BIIIG!
