Combine tyres

[beltbreaker]

Looking for new tyres for the combine, the one on it at the moment are rotten and 30 harvests old size is 30.5r32 so would be 800/65r32 I presume.

Thoughts are probably BKT, load ratings look ok, has anyone got any experience or other suggestions. Putting a bit of money into combine at the moment so hoping it will do at least another 10 harvests unless something better comes along, cheap.

There’s some new old stock goodyears on eBay at the mo; I was almost tempted as one of ours is perished and wanted a matching pair…but Goodyear are going to be at LEAST 5 years old…new bkt 2250 plus vat. EBay ones 1500 plus vat. Think I’m going to fall out with my ocd and have the bkt

What combine is it? Ive got a few sets of some claas combines I’ve cut up

Check the claas dealers or sharmans. They usually have a good selection of tyres in which aren’t very old for a good price.

Case 1680 Axial Flow.

I got a BKT 800/65r32 this year for about £1750 rides nicely on the combine and carried the weight fine

Little while ago, but one of our combines needed a new pair after the bead failed on one. Just rang around local dealers and found Michelin the most attractive price - apart from Chinese (?) imports.
So ring round, you may get a surprise.

1050 BKT on mine and fine.

Case 1680 Axial Flow.

If spending a lot on an axial flow rebuild in the winter its worth looking at prices for parts from america.

What else are you changing? On a 1680 or 2188 if your aiming to keep it and its not been done already I would change the sieve drive supports for the 2388 type. The old channel type ones always break at some point and then smash the sieves and rails that support the sieves to bits. The later cast iron ones fit if you drill two new holes. They are 200 dollars in the states or £600 from your local dealer!

For the tyres may be try Farols? They usually have a few taken off combines when someone wants an upgrade or any other of the main combine dealers/breakers.

Already on it, although strength of the pound means 4 out 5 expensive parts for the outloading auger and throat are actually cheaper from CaseIH UK. Have done it in the past out of Florida and Iowa plus Kile parts from Washington state.
