Depends a lot on where the developing split is developing. A good tire facility may be able to advise you.

Tractors that carry heavy mounted implements are less likely to work well with boots.

A friend of mine owns a tire shop that repairs earth mover tires, they can boot the inside, and repair the outside. I think a rear tractor tire repair costs around 1/3 to 1/2 the price of a new rear depending on how bad the damage is, it's also a time consuming repair if you want the best repair possible . A rip off "tire shop" could probably do it cheaper, and faster, but you get what you pay for.

I owned a farm tire shop for 22 years, it really depends on the brand of tire, where it is on the tire and how much you are going to be carrying on the 3 point. Is it a radial tire? How big is yiur tractor? A section repair will probably be a better idea. Please remember, if you do have a section put in the tire, the tractor should not be used too heavy for several weeks. The repair will need to harden up some. I have seen people take a newly repaired tire to a corn, bean, or hay field and run it in the stubble. The stubble will destroy a freshly repaired section.
