How many more hours can we get on these tyres?

Bear in mind that they are approaching 4000hrs and a new set is now well over £6k ... even for Wunhunglo never mind BKT or better

Place your bets ...

They will last on there until you actually slip off the concrete and one goes BANG, or you go onto a wet field this winter, and waste hours recovering it.... Probs on a Sunday too!

I was pondering my move to agri tyres (last year) on my Kramer and the massive improvement it has made to it's usability for me. 800 quid well spent!

I then wondered WTH did I spec cleated Industrials on my new baby compact earlier this year. What was I thinking about, other than saving a few quid... :rolleyes:

Buy this and cut some more tread in them. Or at least you could find how much rubber until you hit the cords.

We've found the wire on one so far ... hanging in there though

Is the 420 really that much better for your job than a 320. Those tyre costs are certainly making you cough, rightly so!
The 24” tyres are more readily available, do what a few do round here when there tractor has bald tyres and chop it in. :facepalm:
 
I assume you have tried more than one place for quote??
Have you tried British rubber company??
Have you tried MP Foulkes wholesale in Mid Wales?
Means fitting yourself though
