Tongue in cheek, ninety years ago some of our great grand fathers might have said something like this.
Pnuematic tires on farm tractors are only doomed to failure:
Pnuematic tires add 50 percent to the cost of a new tractor;
Pnuematic tires wear out fast and will need to be replaced every ten to twenty years, adding another expensive repair at round the same time as every second engine overhaul is due;
Pnuematic tires leak air and could need to be reinflated as often as once every night;
Pnuematic tires could unexpectedly go flat, stranding the farmers at the worst possible time;
Standard car tire pumps do not have the capacity to pump up a pnuematic rear tractor tire by hand. The tire pump infrastructure will need to be replaced;
The USA does not have all the raw materials to make pnuematic tires, that would make us dependent on imports from tropical countries;
Where will add the extra air come from to inflate all those extra tires? What happens to the price of air if not enough air is available to meet demand?
Steel wheels work just fine on tractors, horse shoes have been made from steel for centuries, why change to anything different?
