Can any one provide me with information or even technique on inverting a tire into a livestock feeder. I would rather feed hay out of them than increase the mosquito population. I've seen it is possible, but I can't imagine how because those things are heavy and clumsy.

THANKS!
Butch

why turn them inside out people I know just cut the side wall out of one side a razor blade knife will do it easy done it a few time there is a knack to it we even stack the narrower tires bolt them to gether with plywood between them and use them for feed troughs they wont turn them over.

turning them wrong side out allows them to stand up better and hold more bales .

There's a kid in town (year younger than me) that has a machine on a trailer that does it. weird looking contraption. I'll take a pic sometime when I think of it. Looks like it clamps to the tire and literally pulls it inside out like you'd do with a t-shirt.

Use a sawsall to cut the sidewall of the tire. Takes a matter of minutes. Also works good to remove old unwanted tires off the rim.

I know a couple of farmers here who do it. First you must start with the right size tire. 16.9 or 18.4 widths seem to work best. Diameter doesn't matter. Cut the bead out of one side about 1/2 way up the sidewall. They tell me that a sharp heavy knife works if you flex the sidewall just right. Haven't seen it done. One farmer uses a loader to turn them. He has chains in the ground around the perimeter of the tire. He hooks the chains up the outside onto the cut part of the tire. Then he had a reinforced piece of plywood cut in a circle a little larger than the bead of the tire laying on the ground under the tire. Then he hooks the plywood to the loader and lifts it up through the part of the tire that is chained to the ground. The other guy does the same except he stands the tire up and ties the cut part of the tire to a tree. He then pulls the board through with a tractor. Both ways get it done.
