I have a ground drive baler that runs off a metal bull wheel. I need to move it down the road. I hauled it on a trailer before but this was a pain.I was thinking of having temporary rubber to bolt on to the tire and was wondering if there was a way to attach it like with auto chains or would bolting be better. What kind of tire rubber would you use? Any easy suggestions would be appreciated.

I"ve used "roadkill" ""gators", those tire treads that you find laying along the roads.
Wrap them around your steel wheels, drill and bolt them on with carriage bolts and double nuts or locking nuts.
Using only a lock washer and nut will work loose in a short time.

Go to tire retread shop and get some retread rubber and bolt on. They might have some obsolete stock lying around.

Is the road you will travel a hard surface? If it"s "blacktop" you might need protection to not tear up the surface, but if it"s concrete, just pull it without any special wheel protection! If it"s a gravel road, you"ve got it made. Just pull it without any wheel protection. I grew up in ND where there were mostly all gravel roads in rural farm area and we pulled lots of steel wheeled machinery on those roads with no problems.

I've seen them where a person takes an old rear tractor tire and puts it on the bolts the tire togeather in say 10 places, between the spokes. Of course if you don't have spoke wheels that wouldn't work but its an idea.
