In some cases damage can be so severe it may require the farmer to replace tires. Implement tires seem to be more susceptible as they do not have the number of plies in the tire or a heavy tread compared to tractor tires. With tractor tires farmers may notice a pecking phenomenon, where the stalk pecks at the tire and pieces of the tire come loose. The following tips can help you prevent excessive stubble damage to your tires this fall:• Tire age can be a benefit, so think ahead and order and install tires well in advance of major fieldwork.• Choose the right tire for the application and a tire width that will fit in between the rows and stay in the row. Look at using duals or triples for additional flotation if needed.• Set the tractor axle spacing to run in the row not on top, as well as run with the row when working in the field as opposed to against the row. • Low tire pressure can lead to excessive flexing in the tire, which can result in sidewall damage from contact with the stubble. • Consider installing stalk stompers onto the combine corn head. Stalk stompers force the corn stalk and bean stubble to the ground before it has a chance to cause damage tractor and implement tires. • Also talk to areas farmer and explore what is working in their operation.

Following are some tips to help you get the most out of your tires.• A common mistake is to set the inflation pressure based on the suggested ranges stamped on the tire sidewall. Air inflation pressures should be adjusted for each field activity to maximize the tire footprint, traction, tire wear and overall fuel efficiency. • Proper inflation is a function of the load on the tire. There are manuals and tables available on the Internet — or your local tire dealer — to help farmers calculate the best possible inflation based on tractor weight, what’s being pulled and the speed traveled. • Determine, before major field work, the load you will be carrying for various applications (chisel, disk planter, etc.). It’s as simple as stopping by a local retailer that has a scale and weighing the tractor and implement. If that’s not an option, contact your local equipment dealer and they can provide the weight of the tractor and implement.• Having the correct weight, tire size and inflation pressure can help reduce slip by half. Or, in other words, 25 percent slip could be reduced to 12 to 13 percent. That’s a significant improvement.So take time to care for your tires. The results can lead to better traction, less compaction and improved fuel efficiency. Over the course of a growing season, these small adjustments can help save time and money in the long term.Super Hi Power Lug II RadialDeep tread penetrates easily for maximum tractionHi Power Lug RadialExcellent tread wear that delivers power to the groundHi Traction Lug RadialSuperior traction and slip resistanceHi Load RadialHigher load capabilities over standard R-1 radialsAG49v RadialDeveloped for high clearance for the row crop marketAG49H RadialDesigned for soft, moist and sticky soils.
