Maybe an unusual question. But was wondering how much asphalt eats away at Tractor tires which are kinda expensive. have about 4 acres which is about 7 miles one way away from me. Land has not been tended recently and was thinking about putting some soybeans there. Primarily use a 140 for most of my farming needs. And one would be surprised how much work can actually do in days time with one if you keep it running. Figure it would take about 6 trips which is total 84 miles year going to place to tend disk couple times plant and spray. Have good set of tires on now. If this is about only time I run on asphalt. And tractor stays shedded out of weather how fast would the roadway eat them away or would they last fair amount of time say 10-15 years. On other tractor which is 74 model very little on road most work done right around farm am only on my second set which is 32 years but am needing to replace. I just don't want to wear a 500 set of tires out in 5 years tending a few acres of beans when not going to make much at anyway...
