I have had two flats in the last three days. They both have happened while in 4WD and plowing snow with my FEL. The first I was able to get to the barn and remove tire. I took it to be repaired and they put a tube in and said that the tire was weather checked pretty bad and was loosing air around the rim. So far so good with the tube. The other tire came off the rim as I was in some pretty deep stuff. This caused the tractor to get stuck. After some shoveling and working the FEL I was able to get out and back to the barn. Tire Center was closed but I was able to get tire to take air after wrapping a tie-down strap to it.
I think the previous owners used this in barns quite a bit to move manure. would that cause the tires to deteriorate quicker than normal?

Yeah, the acidity of manure is pretty tough on rubber and other components. Probably time to replace some tires...
