@Jazzerbyte - Wow, if watching tyre changing is your idea of fun I wouldn't risk an evening at the Comedy Store, you'll probably suffer some type of cardiac arrest & drop dead right then & there! 😂🤣😂

@@leddielive LOL - to clarify - it's much better to be watching one of these giant tire changes with the right tools than struggle with it for a half day.

@@jazzerbyte yeah, it’s fun to watch… to watch, it’s fun; to do is another question 😄

It would probably need several sets to handle the weight.

​@@ke6gwfyep, 1300 bushel of wheat is 78k pounds, not to mention the weight of cart itself. 18 wheelers have a max weight of 82k so you're gonna need atleast that amount of wheels and that would be complex to fit.

It’s more about the fact that they used barely adequate tires, and switched for structurally stronger ones which suit their application better… Not really a question of brands, more about increased load and speed rating, upgrade from bias plies to radial, plus maybe higher flexion.

Most likely unless ordered new with.better grade tires the factory tires will be second grade tires.

I would beg to differ also in Europe and I have gotten to the stage where I insist on a tyre change if I’m buying a new machine which comes with “ about a year “ tyres , we do a lot of road work and basically have never been happy with the performance of said tyres , in saying that they may have improved because it must be 10 years or more since we had a set , they were the straw that broke this camels back, less than a year c.1750 hours, buckled twisted and bald on a T7 210, so not pulling ridiculous weight , and only every had a five sod reversible for maybe 50 hours, got no hoop either when I kicked up about them.

@andy, i've heavely abused a set of multibibs. 7000 hours of field/road on low pressure. I sold the rear tires with still more than half treat on them for a fair amount. Cracks do start appear now on the fronts though

12000 a pop

You could buy a brand new pickup truck and still not get a full set of tires as spares for the drill and cart.

Ive never had a problem with Goodyears on our farm. Guys must be getting lemon tires if theyre having that many problems

It would be too expensive in changing costs

They needs 5 drills at the South farm, Mike took his FENDT 1167 + 84ft 3320 drill + 71300 cart to the North farm so that would make 4 drills South. He still has an extra Bourgault 5710 drill with a 40ft Bourgault 4300 air seeder ( 300bu cart ) up North besides the big one. If he needs that small one the Case 9380 could pull it if it has enough hydraulic flow on the single pump, btw the 4300 cart has a double fan, Mike needs the JD9620R (on triples) on the South farm for this 84ft drill he bought from his dad.

@@ytfan3815 Right I know all that I was just wondering why leave the 1300 bushels cart up north where is much wetter and softer and leave the smaller 950 on the south farm where he needs as much capacity as possible as the fields are much bigger down south. It seems to me he needed to do maintenance on the 950 cart as they have a shop down south and then he will return the 950 back north and bring the 1340 back down south. Especially seeing as he is putting “surprise tires” on it as well, that would be a very good indicator he’s bringing it back down south to handle the much more severe road travel he and the rest of the crew does.

@@crandonborth Probably you're right, both drill and cart need a major maintenance/upgrade so shop and people are available on the north farm. But question is, will the 9260R on triples pull that 84' with a 71300 cart, I doubt it, less problems with a 7950 cart I think.

@@ytfan3815 Do you mean the 9620 9RX?? I would bet yeah.

@@crandonborth No, they need the 9620 R with triples, his tractor from the north farm that's now on the south farm, I don't think it will pull a 71300 cart on those small tires. There are only two 9620 RX's left that already pull a 71300 cart.

Because, normally you can seed some or all of the south before the north is ready.

At first I was thinking tracks... then i realized that would be worse lol. I'm guessing a LSW Radial tire would be better suited for that application.

Otherwise your setup would jacknife when going down a hill and turning. There even is a Video of what happenes on fast ag montana channel last year.

I’ve never understood that either.

Probably the only option in the given size, just mount them backwards if it’s towed to avoid weird wear patterns. Why that size? You want flotation tyres to minimize soil compaction. IF/VF probably only available in this configuration as well. (Other low pressure tyres you’d find on a regular agricultural trailer would have too low of a load rating.) 🤔

We keep rolling with thin cracks of aging too, but only do minimal on road and use few heavy implements. Tyres are expensive, especially if it’s a small operation… Just need to check every one of them regularly.

The tire manufacturers need a unique mold and oven for each product made, and in those large sizes that's an expensive undertaking, so it's cheaper for them to make all traction tires, because they HAVE to make traction tires anyway, and traction tires can be used on a towed implement with no issues as well. It also gives the implement better braking traction, and side drift traction in some conditions.

Bert & Ernie from the kids programme Sesame Street, it's a theme Mike is to name all the important equipment.

The conditions must have been something like… Very high flexion, low pressure, large footprint, high load capacity, to minimize soil compaction. Then you end up with what is available on the market, tractor tyres. But they’re installed backwards to avoid uneven wear from being on a non traction axle.

The main goal is to minimize soil compaction, probably the only pattern in that size. Just install them backwards and they wear okay-ish. 🤔

🤣

I mean, you can always subscribe to patreon

@@petermolnar8667 yeah I can but I wanna ask some silly questions. Like 1: are all the people working there are your relatives ? 2: do you own all the farms ? or you relatives you work with. 3: and do you work as a contractor for these farms ?

@@optiplexgamerprothom5054 Answers to your questions: 1) No... Mike is the middle brother between his younger and older brother, they all farm there as well. The farm is called "Faith Hope Farms" they farm somewhere near 40,000 + acres in South West SK just on the Montana Border. They have like 5 or 6 full time employees and probably some part time during seeding and harvest time. 2) He doesn't directly own the whole farm he is co-owner with his two brothers and I'm guessing his dad has some ownership as well. The North farm is completely separate from the south farm and Mike and his wife own that independently form his brothers. 3) No... He part owner of the land and equipment and is actively trying to grow this farm with his brothers.

@@crandonborth thankyou 🙂. There are many other questions I'll ask later.

@@optiplexgamerprothom5054 No problem... ill try and answer to the best of my knowledge.

I guess you would want flotation tyres on a heavy drill to minimize soil compaction, and that’s why they have these high flexion ones on them - that, and probably no other option in the given size either 🤔 They tend to wear okay if installed backwards on a non traction axle
