In Reply to: Rear Tractor Tires posted by Flurette Farm on May 09, 2010 at 08:27:45:
As young pup by ytmag standards at 32 I have never worn out a pair of rear tires from new in my life time. I have bought two tractors with the tach working and both sellers claimed the tires were original. My 6700 I bought at 3200 hours and the tires were about 25%, ran them till they were plumb slick at 4100. Just bought a 9600 with 4400 hours, tires had no tread at all left and were dry rotted to the point chunks of rubber the size of my hand were missing from the side walls.
As for antique tractors, for folks who use them around here, most of the time the tires dry rot and fall apart before the tread is worn down. If I was the kinda guy who went on the tractor rides, I'd turn the tires around backwards like the mennonites around here that use tractors as minivans do so they will last longer on the black top.
