I need a tractor tire.................

[dru_b]

saw a skinny on the internet tried to steal the pic to upload here but wrong file type so it won't work.

the tire is burried half way in the ground with 2x12's or so for ramps up and down using the tire top for a crown. wanna build one somewhere, it was cool looking.........

if you have the inside scoop as to where to get REAR tires from a FARM TYPE tractors, pitch in.... post up or get in touch with me.

I have two new tractor tires I need to put on my tractor. whenever I do you can have one or both of the old tires. I dont know when I will change them due to the fact that its a hard job and I don't know how, but when I do they are yours. If you know anyone that can help change them that would be great.

I'll take a look around tomorrow, I thought there was an old one someone had used for an old sandbox, or maybe it had a tree growing in the middle of it. Would it be ok if it was cut to get it off the tree?

I saw a large tractor tire sitting against a telephone pole in someones yard along HW-84 just before Hampton (coming from Silvis). It was still there today. Here is the precise location: link

drew, check that out, that's a ways away for me to check on it. if we can have it for sure, I'll go pick it up.

not sure about a cut one........ would think the ground would be holding most of the weight???

Cool obstacle- I deal with quite a few farmers and I'd think the balder the better for starters, but then maybe another tire or two without boards, one shorter and one a ltiilte taller? hmmmm

We need some things to help us advance our skills since the riders who won't advance their skills keep taking out all the fun stuff- like the cool root/tree jump on stonehenge on Sylvan. That tree was alive and the trail was specifically put there to go over that as an obstacle and now it was all a wasted effort. Once again- A great technical trail is being dumbed down because of someones inability to ride and refusal to just skip the trail. Dumbing down the trails makes them faster for EVERYONE. Learning riding skills makes you faster COMPARED TO OTHERS. If you just want to go fast, why not just ride the paved paths? Sheesh I wish people who refuse to work on their own skills and want to go fast would ride the paved paths- we'd all be happier- and faster. :burnout:

I can get at least one maybe 2 or 3 from work and haul them wherever you want them. well, within reason.

[dru_b]

t-bone, you would be tha man, and it really doesn't matter what park it would be put into by me really, i'll put it in anywhere, just wanna get it done and rideable. we can vote as to where to put it as far as i'm concerned.

I rode something similar to what he is suggesting. It was a blast! There were different levels of difficulty.
They were mostly wider stiff tires and probably from big construction vehicles. Has anyone been to Bloomsbury Farm in Atkins? Anyway, if you had, they have a cool section for kids (or Really big kids :o) that has a bunch of these tires touching in a spiral line to walk on.

Back to my mtbking experienced...
The easiest "skinny" started w/ the first one buried deep enough for a smooth transition from the ground to the tire, the second one was against it at about the same height. It was really fun and challenging.

we'll have to see what mark has found out first........ hope they would be down with it.. it would be sweet.
