Foam-Filled Front Tractor Tires

KCTractors · Oct 11, 2019

I just bought a tractor and the Owner told me that the front tires are filled with foam. I removed one tire 6.00 x 16" and that tire is heavy also. I removed the valve-core from the tube and nothing came out. My question is, how would you remove the tire from the rim when tire is worn out?

Most of them they cut off when they replace the tire. They will be heavy as well. I would run them till they fell apart. Easier to get off.

Cut them off only way and thats not a easy job either most buy new rims

One has to cut them off and that is one of the problem with foam filled tires. Plus to cut a tire off many time one damages the rim doing so.

it will be a lot easier just to replace, cause only way off is cutting, why did you take one off, just curious other wise use them it will make rough ride thou

Any reason you want to remove them?

Had the fronts foamed on the TO35 Ferguson because of constant thorn flats.

It also gave just the right front weight for mowing, what it's mostly used for.

No, I don't want to do anything with them, I was just wondering how they do it. Thanks

If they are tubless you will never get it off the rims will have to buy new rims

The fronts are easy to remove with a saws-all, a rear tire would take about 12 man hours at a minimum.
