HOW TO pREVENT STUBBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES THIS FALLStronger stalks and stubble are causing damage to agricultural equipment tires that range from sidewall cuts and punctures to chipping of large tractor tires. In some cases damage can be so severe it may require the farmer to replace tires.

Implement tires seem to be more susceptible as they do not have the number of plies in the tire or a heavy tread compared to tractor tires. With tractor tires farmers may notice a pecking phenomenon, where the stalk pecks at the tire and pieces of the tire come loose.

The following tips can help you prevent excessive stubble damage to your tires this fall:

• Tire age can be a benefit, so think ahead and order and install tires well in advance of major fieldwork.

• Choose the right tire for the application and a tire width that will fit in between the rows and stay in the row. Look at using duals or triples for additional flotation if needed.

• Set the tractor axle spacing to run in the row not on top, as well as run with the row when working in the field as opposed to against the row.

• Low tire pressure can lead to excessive flexing in the tire, which can result in sidewall damage from contact with the stubble.

• Consider installing stalk stompers onto the combine corn head. Stalk stompers force the corn stalk and bean stubble to the ground before it has a chance to cause damage tractor and implement tires.

• Also talk to areas farmer and explore what is working in their operation.

TAKE cARE OF YOUR TIRES, AND THEY WILL TAKE cARE OF YOUProper tractor tire maintenance not only helps extend the life of your tires, but also can have significant impact in helping to improve overall efficiency in the field. Following are some tips to help you get the most out of your tires.

• A common mistake is to set the inflation pressure based on the suggested ranges stamped on the tire sidewall. Air inflation pressures should be adjusted for each field activity to maximize the tire footprint, traction, tire wear and overall fuel efficiency.

• Proper inflation is a function of the load on the tire. There are manuals and tables available on the Internet — or your local tire dealer — to help farmers calculate the best possible inflation based on tractor weight, what’s being pulled and the speed traveled.

• Determine, before major field work, the load you will be carrying for various applications (chisel, disk planter, etc.). It’s as simple as stopping by a local retailer that has a scale and weighing the tractor and implement. If that’s not an option, contact your local equipment dealer and they can provide the weight of the tractor and implement.

• Having the correct weight, tire size and inflation pressure can help reduce slip by half. Or, in other words, 25 percent slip could be reduced to 12 to 13 percent. That’s a significant improvement.

So take time to care for your tires. The results can lead to better traction, less compaction and improved fuel efficiency. Over the course of a growing season, these small adjustments can help save time and money in the long term.
