thank you for all your hard work, i grew up on a farm and know all about it, i support my local farmers as much as possible, hello from BC Canada. anyone else reading this try to shop local as much as possible please.
If you like your front tires, you can keep your front tires . A lugnut in every pot !! Ask not what a farmer can do for you ,but ask what you can do for a farmer . Huhh ,What !!
soaringtractor, where do you think all the food comes from that is in your pantry, and your freezer, do you think it just magically appears on the shelves. If it wasn't for the hard working farmers in the world you would starve to death you moron. just saying. Keep up the great work Wes.
Thanks, We all mess up at times but most won't show the rest of us. It is easy to make a mistake, I ruined a tyre with 20 mile on it and talked about it for a week. good man for showing us.
Must be great to have your Dad around to talk to and maybe get advice from, especially if you work the same farm. I don't farm now but I do miss my Dad.
We have a place here where I live that does vulcanize tires. The only problem is I am in Texas and freight would make the tire repair as expensive as a new one after it is all said and done. Keep up the hard work.
I did a similar mistake with a skid steer loader. Working along a fenceline in town I found a T post laying flat on the ground. The triangle at the base tipped up and sliced the sidewall. I tried patching no luck. Took it to a tireshop that services truck sized and larger tires. They hot patched it. and the tire rolled for the remainder of its tread life. Cost me 40 bucks if I remember right. That was 8 years ago. Like I said in another comment I have a hot patch appliance on the shelf that will never be used again. I am sure a trade can be worked out. I need more T shirts for example
I have just started watching you video's and have the up most respect for you and what you do as I grew up on a family farm keep up the good work and as we both know (SHIT HAPPENS) !!!!!
Had a few days like that Wes, you get 'em sometimes. It just makes the "good" days more enjoyable. I've never vulcanized a tire but have some ideas that might be worth trying, considering the cost of replacement. There are video's here on Y T that show repairs being done in 2nd and 3rd world countries where replacement is not an option.
Ahh well Wes. that's why they call them accidents. hehe. can either cry or laugh it off, no matter what. all its gotta do is be fixed. and btw. I'm in eastern Pa here and I see no snow yet. nor do I want anymore of it either. Happy New Year too btw. :) thanks for vid. keep them coming and be safe.
I feel your pain. I once was Bush hogging a ditch and stupidly ran up on a culvert. A six inch slice through a new front tire that hadn't even been on the tractor for a hour! I still kick myself for that. lol
Reminds me of when I put new front tires on my Sky trac. The first bucket of shingles I went to dump into my dump trailer I caught the steel fender and sliced the sidewall open, the tire was 3hr old! I was left with a $960 sand box for on of my workers kids!
There is a company here in southwest GA that vilcanizes tires... they did a front tire to an 8285R for us for $350 had a split in the sidewall from running over a peanut blade. Did a good job. Will be glad to get you in touch with them if you like
Any OTR or Truck Tire center should be able to direct you to a company that does "section repairs" on those. I work for a dealer here in KY we have a company pick ours up and they bring them back to us when they are done. Brand new tire worth calling a dealer about probably cost you 200-250 dollars for that repair.
I have seen these large patch kits for when they gouge off road truck tires, it involves cutting out sections of the rubber down to the band's, grinding, acetate, and then multi layer patches and finally a cure time. they say when done the patch is as strong as the original tire. The video actually popped up on YT a couple weeks ago off of one of your videos. They exist, but may be worth more trouble if you can afford the replacement.
They don't grow row crops anymore. Mostly what has happened in the past is some over seeding and a lot of applications of fertilizer and such to hay fields. Barring a real bureaucratic screw up the newish tractors will be there in plenty of time. It will be mid to late June depending on the weather before they have a real need for the new tractors.
Wow nine months to import the tractors. That puts some serious concerns about a desire to get a 6" Foden from the www.steamtractionworld.com/6inchfoden.htm
about 1987 i was in a 4430 with 4 new tires on the back and i had a 3 point field cultivator on... anyway i was crusing a pretty good clip threw weeds when i drove over a wash out... the damn third arm broke and that sob tilted down enough and shoved the cultivator sweeps threw all 4 tires... trust me we all make mistakes and shit is going to happen im just thankful nobody got hurt cause a stear tire being caught like that could have spun the wheel in your hand and broke a finger or thumb
good job looks like he's A Tire Man Tireman you can do the outside rear tires on your road tractors the same way if you had the wide flotation tires on the steer axle of your road tractors they'll come off like that too
@onelonelyfarmer Well Wes, yet another tough life-lesson learned. Sometimes, we pay dearly for our impatience. Hey, we all eff-up sometimes - such is life. On the bright side, at least it wasn't a rear tire, or worse, the side of the hood or cab that got poked - whew!
Just wondering if you'll be going to the Pa. Farm Show which is all this week in Harrisburg. Depending in which Messick you're going to you won't be that far away from the Farm Show building which is in the east side of Harrisburg?
PEOPLE,.. with all due respect,..please be patient and stop asking Wes "when will the tractors arrive", he has already mentioned a few times that he will let you know when it's time.
Sorry to hear about the problem, but take heart, sometimes stuff just happens. From what i have heard, once the sidewall on a radial tire is damaged, it is toast. Back in the days of bias ply tires they could probably have put a boot and a tube in it, but not any more.
Hey Wesley, my boss toughs me a trick for seating stubborn tires, if you have a tire that's just barely touching the rim, and won't seat. Take some rubberized undercoat that's in a can and spra inbetween the tire and the rim, let it get a little tacky, and put air in it, the rubberized undercoat acts as a gasket. Idk if that trick will seat a tractor tire. But I seated tires on a r model Mack doing that so it may work. Just thought I'd share that with ya
Why the need for a replacement tire? About a year ago you and Tim demonstrated and were very enthusiastic about some liquid product that gets squirted into the the tire and seals against leaks even after a long period of time.
The farm I worked for right out of high school had something similar happen. I watched one of the other workers unload on the go and when they got to the end of the row the combine thought the grain cart was gonna stop and vise versa. Needless to say the grain cart went over the corn head and cost about $3500 for a 30.5-32 Tire.
There is a "mine truck tire" vulcanizing repair shop just south of Eveleth Mn on hwy 53 that fixes things like that. However the cost to ship it would cover 2 new tires. For the mines here, that's cheap when dealing with a $96,000 tire.
Did something similar in the car a couple of weeks ago pulling out on the road cut to close to the road sign on the right took out the mirror, scraped the mud off the door, and ruined the rear tire!
Try Valley Tire....I know they repair and retread Ag/industrial tires but not sure if they do sidewall vulcanizing. If not, they might know who does. If you strike out there, contact a large volume heavy equipment user to see if they can give you a suggestion.
gemplers might have what you need Wes. Sucks that happened. Just another example why you always gotta have your head in the game on a farm. Been there and done that myself when I was a kid on the farm. Thankfully it was only a tire.
look at it as at least the wheel and everyone involved is ok one hour in the hospital er is way more money than the tire but I feel your pain 1500$ is a lot of money thanks for another nonBS video shit happens Tim is probably glad he doesn't have to explain how it happened lol lol
I had last year a similar hole in the same type of tire 520/ 65R28 but there is a small company here in the neighborhood, which has vulcanized them for about 200 euros (200 dollars) it is here in Friesland, Netherlands , but why in the USA anymore?
There's a company called Rema TipTop that is here in the US that still does that. There's one here in Utah but I'm sure there is one closer to you that does tires as well.
HI Wes :) My fiance and I love your videos and we are always waiting for more lol. I messaged you before because my fiance has a couple old John Deere's and is looking to sell them. I'm not sure if you got the messages because I wrote them on an older video. They are in pieces sadly :( We absolutely love your wisdom and all your videos. If you could, would you give a big shout out to my fiance in your next video? His name is Goody. Thank you Wes :) Keep the videos coming :)
back when I scrapped tires had a container come from the Virgin Islands. tractor tire had a hole about that size in it they took a section of sidewall from another tire carriage bolted it to the inside and used a tube.
a farmer i work for just had a 38-32tire just fixed over the summer run into the corn head on a jd9300 chopper. They have a place in NC that fixing them Wes
It's not just farmers, anyone who operates any kind of machinery has done something stupid at some point or other. While moving rubble with a Fastrak I went a bit too eager trying to dump right on top of the pile and ended up with a brick bouncing out of the bucket straight through the front window, damaged the instrument cluster as well as getting glass everywhere including down my neck and in my hair.
how long does your heater run on a tank of fuel I am looking for more ways to supply heat don't want to buy something I know nothing about but by the looks they last a few years just wondering about the fuel usage
Those heaters burn about a gallon a hr. Usually have a 10 gallon tank. It will probably depend on manufacture and some have settings for different heat levels now but some you just plug in and they just run wide open. But a gallon a hr I've found with those heaters is a good rule of thumb.
thank you for all your hard work, i grew up on a farm and know all about it, i support my local farmers as much as possible, hello from BC Canada. anyone else reading this try to shop local as much as possible please.
just another example why farming is so expensive...and why few do it anymore...why we should support the farmer...
If you like your front tires, you can keep your front tires . A lugnut in every pot !! Ask not what a farmer can do for you ,but ask what you can do for a farmer . Huhh ,What !!
What does the mulch hay go to grow mr. thicko FOOD!!!
Mushrooms not food? Thicko!!!
soaringtractor, where do you think all the food comes from that is in your pantry, and your freezer, do you think it just magically appears on the shelves. If it wasn't for the hard working farmers in the world you would starve to death you moron. just saying. Keep up the great work Wes.
you sure like the word Duuuhhh!!!!. loser.
looks like someone put a lick on those steps too. The ability to deal with the problems without blowing up is the mark of a man. Well played Wes.
The way the shop door was flopping in the wind.....must be brutal outside. Stay safe folks and keep up the great videos.
WOW! All that extra light makes you shop look 100X messier. ;)
Wes I wish I had your knowledge and able body your a badass and loved it when dad came to see how your were coming along on the tire 👍🏻
Thats some tough luck. Too bad man! Hope it stays fixed up... long enough to replace....
Watching the big door slapping in the wind. We had that yesterday, along with a ten hour white out.
Thanks, We all mess up at times but most won't show the rest of us. It is easy to make a mistake, I ruined a tyre with 20 mile on it and talked about it for a week. good man for showing us.
It will always be the brand new tire you wreck, its never the worn out one
The American farmer......jack of all trades......master of none
Much nicer working and watching now that you have some light in the shop wes
"That moment he realised wes fucked up". Lol luv ya Wes. It happens to us all.
looks like the steps to your cab has seen better days
Must be great to have your Dad around to talk to and maybe get advice from, especially if you work the same farm. I don't farm now but I do miss my Dad.
We have a place here where I live that does vulcanize tires. The only problem is I am in Texas and freight would make the tire repair as expensive as a new one after it is all said and done. Keep up the hard work.
I Was watching some of your video good job rebuilding the burned out tractor you are smart own them you are A good Mechanic

these accidents happen thanks for the video wes

It's only flat at the bottom 😂😂
Bill Whitmore ha ha ha,
Bill Whitmore lol...that's a good one!
You just drive it till its round the tractor was just sitting there for a bit.
Not long after we were married my wife called me and said she had a flat tire, but it was flat only on one side.
I feel your pain Wes, been there done done that before always happens to i new tyre!!
There is a company here in southwest GA that vilcanizes tires... they did a front tire to an 8285R for us for $350 had a split in the sidewall from running over a peanut blade. Did a good job. Will be glad to get you in touch with them if you like
Just as long as nobody get's hurt, maimed or killed...
Really like the new lights.
Tough break Wes but your banjo skills have sure improved from the last time I saw you play!
Between you and cotontop3 y'all been having a heck of a Monday hope the week gets better!
Any OTR or Truck Tire center should be able to direct you to a company that does "section repairs" on those. I work for a dealer here in KY we have a company pick ours up and they bring them back to us when they are done. Brand new tire worth calling a dealer about probably cost you 200-250 dollars for that repair.
u handled that well.ur rite vulcanizing.20 yrs ago same on my payloader forget who vulcanized it.probably long gone.tire is still up tho.
Man, those LED's are nice!
I have seen these large patch kits for when they gouge off road truck tires, it involves cutting out sections of the rubber down to the band's, grinding, acetate, and then multi layer patches and finally a cure time. they say when done the patch is as strong as the original tire.

Will the tractors from England get here before your work starts in the spring?
They don't grow row crops anymore. Mostly what has happened in the past is some over seeding and a lot of applications of fertilizer and such to hay fields. Barring a real bureaucratic screw up the newish tractors will be there in plenty of time. It will be mid to late June depending on the weather before they have a real need for the new tractors.
Wow nine months to import the tractors. That puts some serious concerns about a desire to get a 6" Foden from the www.steamtractionworld.com/6inchfoden.htm
It sure does make chores interesting.
I totally feel your pain on that one.
Its ok Wes ""no one died"! Its only money. grumble, kick, grumble. Life goes on.
Sometimes if not for bad luck you have none at all. Been there.
Good Bluegrass background music
first video of olfs i ever watched,addicted since#legend
about 1987 i was in a 4430 with 4 new tires on the back and i had a 3 point field cultivator on... anyway i was crusing a pretty good clip threw weeds when i drove over a wash out... the damn third arm broke and that sob tilted down enough and shoved the cultivator sweeps threw all 4 tires... trust me we all make mistakes and shit is going to happen im just thankful nobody got hurt cause a stear tire being caught like that could have spun the wheel in your hand and broke a finger or thumb
Now that's costly! ooh feel for ya.
Right
good job looks like he's A Tire Man Tireman you can do the outside rear tires on your road tractors the same way if you had the wide flotation tires on the steer axle of your road tractors they'll come off like that too

Have you ever had vulcanizing done Wes? This looks like a good candidate.
I have done that on a couple of tires( rear ones) still running on them.
I was charged a couple of hundred or something, way less than a new tire. Got one done in Rapid City, SD at I believe at Great Western Tire.
i just bought the machine to fix the tire.. i was quoted $450 so i bought the whole kit with gum and patches and all i need for $500.
One tire repair, will pay for your investment. Where did you acquire it online?
eBay of all places
Just wondering if you'll be going to the Pa. Farm Show which is all this week in Harrisburg. Depending in which Messick you're going to you won't be that far away from the Farm Show building which is in the east side of Harrisburg?
PEOPLE,.. with all due respect,..please be patient and stop asking Wes "when will the tractors arrive", he has already mentioned a few times that he will let you know when it's time.
Everybody has those days. You handled it well, although maybe we didn't see the initial reaction ;)
What is the temp there now? We have been in the deep freeze here in mn. Its -18 right now. there showing a warm up after today though
Would a tube work in that or would it have the same effect as that patch, because a tube would be cheaper if it works.
Sorry to hear about the problem, but take heart, sometimes stuff just happens. From what i have heard, once the sidewall on a radial tire is damaged, it is toast. Back in the days of bias ply tires they could probably have put a boot and a tube in it, but not any more.

When are you getting the tractors from the U.K.???
What kind of wheel were you using on your grinder.
At least it didn't hit the squishy bit in the cab
its funny seeing the 8120 without anything behind it
Why the need for a replacement tire? About a year ago you and Tim demonstrated and were very enthusiastic about some liquid product that gets squirted into the the tire and seals against leaks even after a long period of time.

Well that sucks! Love your coat though, with the dutch flag on it 😉
Well it's currently 7:09 AM your time you are probably on your way to Messexs Hope you have a good day Wes.
Messick's, I believe is the correct spelling. Just sayin'.
Dang! Or as we say downunder Bugger!
Rhoadstar Tire Center in Quarryville, PA still does vulcanization. They are not that far from Lancaster, or where you take your mushroom hay.
you know that shit never happens to an old bald tire, It's always the brand new one....Bad things happen in 3's so watch yourself buddy 👍✌ ~Jaime
Any update on the tractors arriving from the UK ?
Bolt it with fender washers and tires seal. That how we fixed holes in the old days. Tighten it up good. I've seen tires with more bolts than rubber.
the door in the shop is flapping around a good bit :o
Wes where do u find this music at? It's very catchy and I like it in a lot of your videos. :)
DAMN the bad luck!!!
I was going to suggest you have a section repair done but I didn't know there weren't any places doing that any more
There is a "mine truck tire" vulcanizing repair shop just south of Eveleth Mn on hwy 53 that fixes things like that. However the cost to ship it would cover 2 new tires. For the mines here, that's cheap when dealing with a $96,000 tire.

wes try custom bandag they section tires for me all the time, they have a few locations so just look-up the nearest one to you.
At least the new shop lights look good.
Wes have you thought of having a hot cure boot put in it? Might try that before you buy a new tire.
Try Valley Tire....I know they repair and retread Ag/industrial tires but not sure if they do sidewall vulcanizing. If not, they might know who does. If you strike out there, contact a large volume heavy equipment user to see if they can give you a suggestion.
Sorry about the tire Wes. Sad that things like that can't be fixed in the USA anymore.
Will your tractors from the uk arrive soon?
how many tires do you have to take care of?
Great video Wes
Awesome video!
gemplers might have what you need Wes.
Sucks that happened. Just another example why you always gotta have your head in the game on a farm. Been there and done that myself when I was a kid on the farm. Thankfully it was only a tire.

Don't forget to have the output shaft of that intermediate PTO stub shaft checked for cracks where the u joint failed earlier.
Did you get the tractors from England yet?
There's a company called Rema TipTop that is here in the US that still does that. There's one here in Utah but I'm sure there is one closer to you that does tires as well.
the wind certainly has the door flapping about. Now about that tire- we've all made mistakes, that's what humans do.
HI Wes :) My fiance and I love your videos and we are always waiting for more lol. I messaged you before because my fiance has a couple old John Deere's and is looking to sell them.

try bergey's tires in Hatfield or Souderton pa. the do Tire repairs on equipment.
Hey Wes is the livestock trailer for sale?
theses things happen Wes no one's perfect....
We do vulcanizing at my shop in Beaverdam Wisconsin we have fixed plenty of tractor tires
Nobody is perfect Wes. Just one of those things that does happen. We all fuck up once in a while.
a farmer i work for just had a 38-32tire just fixed over the summer run into the corn head on a jd9300 chopper. They have a place in NC that fixing them Wes
