Weird Flat

[mrolson]

Ordered the tractor with R3s. The dealer didn’t have em in stock so they delivered with R1’s. Week and a half later (13 Hours), the dealer comes out and swaps the tires on Friday. I got in 1 hour leveling the septic field and the tractor sat. Didn’t touch it Saturday, it was ok Sunday morning but when I returned Sunday night, the tractor was leaning /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif I called the dealer about the slow leak problem. They came and got the tire, called me back and said come look at your tire. There was a 2 inch slit in-between the tread. Right through to the tube. $321 /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif I can’t believe that if I got something in the field it didn’t deflate right there. I can’t think of anyone messing with it. Has anyone had a nice slice that held air for awhile… or do I have an enemy I don’t know about ?

seems to me that if u ran over something that could cause a 2 in. slit and puncture the tube, it should have gone flat very soon.on the other hand if u got sometning in the tire and it created the flat as it sat, then it should still have been in the tire. seems very odd to me. but strange things do happen.
