Shall we play a game?

[Bald Rick]

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 ...

 

[gww]

Put the pressure up a bit and you'll get the last bit of tread out the middle they'll be good for another 500 hours then

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

There still 90% good, get another 2 year out of them

 

[Ormond]

I took some tyres down a little bit further than that and turned one day on rough concrete and bang.....

 

[T0553R]

How many hours will you do between now and Christmas Day?

 

[cvx175]

Should get another 1000 if driven sensible

 

[steveR]

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...

Ask Lewis Hamilton.
You might want to cut the cows out of the picture first though.

 

[seedman stains]

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

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.

 

[startinghandle]

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

 

[Still Farming]

Funny you don't try re cutting treads???
