Hey Guys, I put a pair of used Floater tires on my Grain Cart. These tires were off the steer axle so they are wore uneven, the center of the tread has high and low spots and that mades for a very rough ride while on the road. My question is what tools do I need to remove the high spots on the bars to even them out? What do the Tractor pullers use to remove so much of the bar on there tires? The tires are Good-Year Terra Tires size 31.00-20. Thank You for the help! Dave

did this to a set of rubber tracks about 15 years ago. the system we ended up using was 6"-8" of corn knife blade with a pair of vicegrips on each end and a can of pam. make sure the bevel faces away from the tire so it isn"t trying to climb out.just set the edge aginst end of the lug and pull. as the knife cuts into lug have assistant pull lug up to keep it from binding knife and apply pam as kneeded. this is a lot faster than grinding.i think we did both sets of tracks in an afternoon

The cheapest two blade wood planer that you can get from Harbour Freight. Get the extra set of blades for a few bucks as well. When the blades are sharp the rubber curls off as fast as you can push the planer. When the rubber starts to come off in small crumbs it is time to switch/sharpen blades. I have ~$38.00 invested and shaved 75% of the bars on my 15.5x38 pulling tires in a few hours.

the electric grooving knife raceers use will not work for what you want to do..the knive is used for siping or cutting grooves..Racers do use 7 or 9" grinders but a special wheel is best..I can go out in the race trailer and get you the info if you desire--e-mail me. Wheel costs about 50.00 (everything associated with racing is 2x price of normal world)

Ask around are there any dirt racers that you know some of them around here have an electric knife that they cut tires with works real slick.

I dont know how well this would work but, they make carving blades that have chainsaw chain on them for small angle grinders. It would cut the rubber instead of burning it like a grinding disc.

7 or 9 inch angle grinder with a standard grinding wheel is commonly used to remove excess rubber from "pulling tractor " tires.. Dirty Job.
