Thanks guys for all the help on figureing out how big etc. Its 16 foot long 8 wide, has a 5 foot back board on it. We took 2 of the tires off so the guy can get new one for it, the old ones are about to blow out and sure don't want that to happen when its full of hay.

O come on... That aint that bad.....

Ok, so maybe it is bad. We had one really old tire blow like that this summer just sitting in the sun on an empty running gear. I'm sometimes surprised how long a tire can last if it's really old. I try to stay ahead of them, or atleats keep a good spare around for all of our wagons.

Unfortunatley, there's atleast 5 different bolt patterns, and some bolt patterns have really different size tires so they won't mix n match as good as I want. Can get bad if we happen to blow 2 tires on the same wagon on a Saturday afternoon....

This one was a new tire and tube. Radial car tires are no good for this job. Blew 1/2 way home 15 mi to go and my spare would not fit over the center hub.
Actually it did not blow I was able to drag it home real slow on the steel belt part. The tread just split.
My fault, I had it pumped up to high. 50 psi and a full load of hay done her in.
Nope no more radial car tires for me.

We try to use light truck tires, but we've got a few car titres on too. I think what really did it was that it was pumped up to 50 lbs. We pump the tires to 40, all have tubes and they hold just fine. We never have luck with any kind of Uniroyal tires on the farm though, they ussually blow within a year or so.

We try to use 6 ply light truck radials and have had real good luck with them. We tube them and keep em' at around 45#. For just flat racks handling small squares, it seems to be the ticket. They get changed out every two years when I get new rubber on my truck, so we never seem to have to fight dry rotting. But by the same token, a full wagon is around 78 bales...and at 50# a bale...that's only 3900# plus the weight of the gear and rack itself. Not too taxing for the above mention tires.

I hate to have to fix anything in the field...but tires are the worst!

Well shucks, that's nuthin!!

We've got 5-6 wagons in use at any time, and it's been 3 years since I've put tire on my truck. We've been through more than 4 tires since then... I average about 160 bales/ wagon, I'd guess 40-50# bales. Most of the wagons have 15" rims, but some have 16", which is too big for any of our trucks. My dad ussually tries to get some off the work trucks now & then, but we ussually end up having to pay $20 for a used tire at the shop... The 15" tires are slightly easier to come by because my truck and my brothers truck both run 235-75 R15's.

Once we get a new shop with some room we're gonna look for a rim-clamp tire changer, and buy the tubes wholesale because the bill can get pretty big sometimes...

The 2 of them wheren't that bad, yet but want to be ahead of the game come the next couple days and getting his hay in. We already know the baler will be a pain so we don't need any other things to make it harder. But you know how that goes you plan for the best and most of the time you get the worset

I borrowed a wagon last year to finish up baling straw. It was at the tractor clubs threshing day, and the wagon belonged to another club member. I had about 50 bales on the wagon, pulling it behind my own fully loaded wagon with 120 bales so I couldn"t see it.

Well borrowed wagon blew a tire on the right rear. Lost 10 bales off the back of that wagon about 200 foot short of the barnyard. Looked at the rest of the tires on that wagon and they were all rotten and low on psi. I never thought to check since they had been using this wagon all day loading bundles on it to take to the thresher. I guess it was better it happend to me then when they had two guys standing on top of it in the bundles. One might have fallen off...

I ended up fixing the tire before I returned the wagon, even though it was clearly that the tires were all rotten.
