On the farm
Skid steer tires
Skid steer tire replacement is part of the farm side at Powell Ag Tire, because a lot of the farmers around Scottsville run skid steers alongside their tractors.
Why skid steer tires wear the way they do
A skid steer turns by driving the wheels on one side faster than the other, so the tires scrub sideways in every turn. On concrete, gravel and frozen ground that wears the tread quickly, and a cut from a rock or a piece of metal can take a tire out early.
Signs it is time
- Lugs worn down, or worn unevenly from side to side
- Cuts, chunks missing, or cords showing
- A tire that will not hold air
- The machine pulls or bounces more than it used to
Matching the tires
Tires on a skid steer work as a team, so most owners replace them as a matched pair on each side or as a full set. Talk it through on the call: how many are worn, and what the machine does most.
