Ag tires aren’t cheap these days… this row crop grower just spent 14K to replace his set. Which is partially why we haven’t replaced these guys on our second tractor… it’s an early 90s Kubota that is on its last legs and never seems worth putting new rubber on. We did have to replace one of the rear tires a few years back (safety issue) was ~$800 at the time… which I justified that when this tractor dies I could keep the tire for our newer tractor which has the same size rear tires. Anyways this Kubota blew a radiator last fall, not sure we’ll make the repairs if our welder can’t manage the inexpensive repair. Was sitting all winter; so just adding some air to move it to a better spot for potential repair. Our newer tractor which is 6 years young; is in great shape and can do everything we need; just nice sometimes in the busy season to not have to switch implements and run both… https://x.com/jonathandansel/status/1904628193178640758?s=46&t=TVy9rDl3UkuxmVj4e18bOA

Firestone used to be a client & I couldn’t believe how expensive tires were. 14k is bananas. The most expensive one I found was $245k each for a mining tire. 💸💸💸
