Tom We had several different brands of tire machines in the tire shop. If you want the old style with the post in the middle--The best longest lasting ones were FMC. They out last coats 2 or 3 to 1. Even then we wore out several of them. I do not like rim clamps for farm tires. It is easier for me to do the large tires on the older American style machines. The boss bought a new rim clamp-one of the "economical ones" from a off the wall tire equiptment place. It is about 1/4 smaller in size than the ones we had in the tire shop. Cannot do a 12X16.5 skid loader tire on it. Be sure you have enough air pressure and volume to run it. A typical 5hp farm compressor will not do it. I just reread your post--Check out the machine before you buy it, I am not sure but the rim clamp machine he bought might be an Atlas. If you do buy a coats you want a 40-40 or 40-50 or newer. The old 10-10 or 20-10 are not worth it for the number of tires you are talking about doing. Just for comparison You are talking doing 40 tires per month, that was around our daily average for years and we would get about 2 years from the new Coats machine where we got 4-5 years out of a new FMC.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
