ihatepoundland Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Who on FTF can claim to have the oldest tractor tyre Whats the shortest time one has lasted (wear and tear or disaster) ? how much does the type of ground you work in affect tyre life?

ihatepoundland Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 ~IHP checks the rules~ Erm I had not allowed for this eventuality. So now I have added the catergory for the oldest combine tyre on a seed drill, at the moment you are winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
