Tire Wear

[hudr]

Excluding useage on hard/paved surfaces, how many of y'all have ever worn out a tractor tire? Most of ours either dry rot and pop, or we run over something and rip it up.

A little different - back in the '60s dad contracted some white corn, he planted, they harvested. The morning of a 2" rain in our yelow clay they pulled in, towed the pickers & the trucks through the field.

He had fairly new tires on an IHC 300, and one is still back in the grove - wore them out that year trying to disk down those baked clay bricks. They wore out _between_ the lugs of the tire, the smooth part wore into the cords.

Our loader tractor has slicks on the back, but that's from spinning on the concrete feeding platform.

The tillage tracotrs can't say they wore out, but the lugs were pretty low, sure had a lot more traction when they got replaced.

tires on construction equipment often wear out, because they get alot more use on not only hard surfaces but in rock and packed gravel. i know the only wear that shows on any of our tractor tires is on the top of the lugs from running them on the road during hay season
