Tire # 1, 2, and a Contest.

We went ahead and replaced the two first tires of the season.


We also replaced a gearbox. We have been steadily updating the old style gear boxes on the Zimmatic to the newer style, pretty much as we replace tires.

The tires came home in a different pickup because the tire shop was out of the big sprinkler tires when we brought them in.



Now a contest. How many tires will we have to replace or repair over the course of the 2009 growing season? (hint: at least 4) I figure that there will be a minimum 145 individual pneumatic tires in active use on our farm this year. All you have to do is take a guess. The winner will get something.
