Mikee Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Try asking a farmer or a tractor machanic if they have any old unusable ones lying around. I asked a tractor machanic if he had one I could have and he was more than happy to give me one as he said they are a pain in the ass to get rid of.

rab shropshire Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 just go to a local farm and ask them, or go to a tyre fitter they normally have lorry/tractor tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walker Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, I'm a farmer and they are a pain in the ass to get rid of, hope its not too far to roll it home, otherwise you may need a sizable pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 If you make a stack whats the best way to hold them together or don't they need it? And you often see them with a piece of wood in the top, is that just screwed/nailed in or is it best to fill the hole in the middle with soil/gravel/etc first then put the wood on top??

walker Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Tractor tyres are quite soft, so the best thing to do is fil them with hardcore, though they will become semi permanent. Otherwise the best thing is to get construction tyres instead as they are bloody solid. But they also weigh loads, you'll probably need a sizeable van! and some strong people/ a forklift!

isitafox Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Got some space at my father in laws farm to build a course so thats my winter mission, already got some massive sleepers from work so will hopefully blag some of the old tyres lying around. Just need to find some pallets from somewhere now and get building!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
