Foamed tractor tires

[txbowtech34]

Does anybody know where to get tractor tires foam filled to avoid flats from mesquite and such? Experience? Other options? I read about using some kind of airplane tires or something like that as an option. Thanks

My grandfather (one in arkansas who practically lives on his tractor for half of the year) put some sort of sealant in his, I could call him to find out which one. It was like 2 1/2 gallons for the front tires, and like 5 each for the back tires on an 85hp Massy tractor. It was great for shredding, no flats, but when you got it up to maximum speed (rarely uses trailers, just drive the 3-5 miles to the next place) it got really weird on the highway.

Front tires are used airplane tires on our 3 tractors. Front and rear are foam filled solid to tires. We couldn't make it with pneumatic tires. We do a lot of shredding and sendero clearing with ours. Antlers will break off in them that you run over and still no problem. I know a place in San Antonio that we use if your interested. I don't know if you are located near there.

Most ag dealers should have the sealant, place i work at has it and we do alot of tractors, there is also a sealant if you have water in your tires.

I use airplane tires on the front and kevlar logging tires on the rear. They all have sealant.

I get the airplane tires here.

Have no experience with foam filled but have heard they make the ride nearly unbearable, like beat you to death

There is a place in San antonio off ww white that does it. We used to fill the fronts on all our tractors, and have all our lease vehicles on solid tires. The poly foam still rides pretty good. The rubber liked ones are heavy an hard.

I've had a bad experience with foam filled tires on the front of a tractor. They developed flat spots. It was like riding a galloping horse at higher speeds. Then the foam came completely apart. They are really heavy. I wouldn't do it again.

Very interested. Tell me more

Kevlar sounds interesting too. I use them for the Polaris and nothing gets through them. Just can't seem to find a 10x16 for the front tires

Ultra-seal Bulletproof from Gemplers works great on mesquite and honey locust thorns. Will seal a hole up to 1/2 thick. Had them on my tractor for 4 years.

There's a place on airport blvd in Austin that does them.Dont know about other places but they wanted 300 a tire for the back two. I can buy a lot of green slim for that.
I'll try and figure out the name of the place.

We make our own sealant, we use drilling mud, (the finely shredded paper) mixed with water and anti-freeze. It's cheap and works.

every time I buy a new tractor I try to get my tires foamed.

usually, the foam guy talks me out of it.

take that for what it's worth.....
