Farmall M Tires, what to get?

michaelr · May 21, 2017

It has a trip bucket loader and wide front end. Will soon be putting it to work pulling a shredder on some land with lots of honey locust coming up. Is there any tire that is more resistant to thorns than another? like industrial/backhoe type tires for it?

I've heard the solid foam-filed front tires work, but they are solid riding, pretty harsh. I dunno for the rears.

Only thing I know of that will stand up to locust thorns would be steel wheels.

Unless you foam fill then NO there are NO rubber tires that will stand up to thorns . Ya want something that will not get flats then get a crawler tractor WITH GOOD TRACKS. Unless you want to learn a new vocabulary while putting a throwen track back on . There are Farm Crawlers out there with PTO and do a fine job of mowing . I once owned a Case 310G that had the 4 way power angle blade , three point hitch and PTO . One summer we took a contract with Tennaco to mow 4 gas lines at 97 miles each line with it . After that experience everything we farm is FLAT LAND . One has never lived till ya have a Crawler slide down a 1/3 mile long hill with both tracks stopped and come off that hill like you were in ski's on ice due to wet ground . But never had a flat track , couple blowen PTO gear boxes but no flats.
