MIKE - You do have the best sub's on youtube! Ive been here since you were around 70k, I cant beleleive how fast youve reached 143k ! Almost 50k in 6 months. You are picking up steam on YT and i couldnt be happier. You have a great channel and i think I speak for most of us when I say, we love following you around and watching your absurd-ness. I follow all the bigger farm tubers, but you are pretty much my favorite and ive seen every single YT video youve ever posted.

I put Alliance 550 tires on my tractor to replace the Titan R4 factory tires. Could not be happier with the ride comfort increase and the massive traction increase! I can not wait to see how those front tires last for you!

[@michaelbown2582]

You will have your reason dude. Starting the big rig with your foot on the clutch. I was taught that that put drag on the starter motor and also pushes the crank against the thrust bring which isn't getting lubricated till the oil pressure comes up. Cool channel Dude 😎👍

fountain tire is a good company. it is where i bring my vehicle for tires and mechanic work.

Those tires carry a heck of a lot of load and strain, pulling, pushing, torsion flex up and down and sidehill. Wow, when you think how hard those tires are worked, 6 yr's isn't bad.

[@olapersson8522]

VF actually means Very High Flexion and it can take +40% load at the same pressure, or -40% pressure at the same load. CFO means Cyclic Field Operation and is a name for a technology that allows higher loads for shorter periods, as a combine or chanser bin. Thanks for Great videos!

Mike, have you considered rotating the back tires on the seeder from time to time? Since the nipples are still on the left side I would think switching them with the ditch side would prolong the life of all 4

Do they recommend airing up tires for the road? Some Nuhn manure spreaders you can air up on road and when get to field you can deflate for compaction

And? The dude drove almost 4 hours to change the tires. What do you want?

[@andrewjones-productions]

@@mikeznel6048 He complimented John. The 'but' is clearly meant to be a 'by'. He also complimented his local tyre dealer although I suspect his intention was more to demonstrate the difference in scale. In this instance, I don't think you need to be so defensive and go on the offence. Although admittedly, Mark could have made his point clearer so that we don't need to second guess. BTW, your Impossible Tenegrity Table looks good!

[@qwertyu2387]

If you changed size of the wheel, did you or did not have the adjust seeding depth as well?

He would not, the seed depth is based on the little pushing wheels at each separate shank.

Why do the treads on "pulled" equipment go in the opposite direction as those of the tractor that is pulling it?

Because of less rolling resistance (therefore also less heat generation) and also less wear (on concrete/tarmac)
