Tire de-rimmed most likely because tire was not inflated to spec when serviced prior to delivery. This usually occurs on front tires because steering stresses the sidewalls.
Its not the tractor. It was the service person.

RK is probably going to say that over 2 weeks YOU should have noted the tire pressure.

Its RK's responsibly to maintain the air pressure in the tires ???
How do you know the OP didn't run over something causing the flat.
Pop the tire back on the rim and go.

Looks like the tire was scrapping against something, my sidewalls don't look as bad as that one does with 300 hours..

Good morning all, good call on the tire. Took it off this morning found a huge nail on the bottom we couldn稚 see until it was off. Repaired and tractor mom is back at it.

A tire issue can happen at anytime, no matter how many hours. Can you describe the conditions the tractor was under when it happened? It's an easy fix with the front loader as your floor jack!

Yep. Inflate to the correct pressure, if no leaks, move on. If you can't do it yourself, your tractor dealer or any tire shop would be able to seat the tire bead.

To answer the OP’s question...yes if you run over a big nail!

Thank you for all of your info. Yes, it was a big nail and no it was not rubbing on anything. I think what looks like rub is Georgia clay.

A set of Harbor Freight tire irons and some boot plugs can save you some downtime. I also have the manual tire change stand, which was $35 well spent. Taking a tire into town would be a minimum of two hours for me so it has really saved me some time.
