This Is Where Tractor Tires Are Born!

Tire factory! Titan Tires invited us to take a tour of their Des Moines Iowa factory. Tires make the farm go round! Here on Welker Farms we have more tires than we can count and being able to see they come from was quite an amazing experience. Come join just as we explore the factory!
Titan Tires is the manufacturer of the worlds largest ag tire:

We also took a wrong turn and some how ended up at Cole The Cornstar's farm!

Titan is made by Good Year or Good Year is made by Titan ????

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

By titan

[@WelkerFarms]

Titan Tires bought Goodyear Farm Tire division a few years ago and kept the Goodyear name.

[@lloydholt6511]

Mike Youngblood yes

[@georgeking5746]

That was the same question I had the new tires say Goodyear on the side but you keep talking about Titan tires. Probably also a money thing not having to replace all of those molds so they said Titan instead of Goodyear on the sidewall.

[@jeffbarr1834]

@@WelkerFarms Goodyear Sold the Division but still has a vested interest in the company. I shared the video with a friend who is the Goodyear director of that division

[@ericjenjohnson]

I live 15 minutes from that factory and I have been in the Des Moines area most my life. I drive by that factory on a weekly basis. What’s cool is that I had to come to your channel to finally see what’s inside. Fascinating stuff and Thank you for sharing!

[@jonathantillman842]

Thank you for sharing your time with the Cornstars and the great factory tour. The value added features on the Welker Farms channel make your videos a rich viewing experience. You don't just have tilling, spraying, planting and harvesting - you show your subscribers a larger more positive view of agriculture. Great work.

[@curtiscarpenter7423]

Two of my favorite channels Welker's and corn Stars

[@RandyKildow]

Thanks Welkers...So appreciate you showing the tire plant..Appreciate Titan Tire letting you show us.. BTW..Now the Cornstars should come to Montana..

[@thumperjdm]

There's something strangely satisfying about the smell of fresh rubber tires. I love going tire shopping! ;-)

[@WelkerFarms]

Oh man that smell was rich at that place! Loved it too 😁

[@clockvetchrono6146]

I get aroused by the smell of rubber tires. Love big tires like truck tires or tractor tires.

[@robertapplegate7052]

The man gave an amazing tour. Thank you for the tour factory.

[@scottsloan5055]

Ive given that tour about a gazillion times. Never gets old. I’ve spent the last 25 years in that plant.

[@richardg646]

Great to see you guys visiting each other that was a great start to your video! Always nice to see everyone having a little fun once in a while with all that hard farm work. Worked on the farm many years as a young man and have full respect for all you guys!

[@Wollsie]

It feels like harvest 2019 was just like two months ago. Crazy how fast time flies when you're having fun.

[@coreyrichers2006]

How much fun was that to have Daddy Cornstar and Mr. Welker telling jokes and puns? 😂😂 That would be a funny video!

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Once again you guys are "over the top" Great intro with the Cornstar family. The rubber plant tour was very informative and a great background for the "supply" side of agriculture that most people are unaware of. You guys rock. See you soon.

About time🤣🤣🤣

[@teddytiptree4450]

hi!

[@WelkerFarms]

Hmm this looks sketchy, better block this guy!

[@kcgibbs]

I may not know what the tire guy is talking about, but I am drawn to somebody who is truly passionate about what they do.

[@harveystephens6115]

Thanks for the tour Titan Tire and the Welker’s. Awesome!!! Hope there is another tire mounting video coming soon

[@ColeTheCornstar]

Something looks familiar...

[@thumperjdm]

I wish I'd known you were passing through Bakersfield yesterday. I would have bought lunch for the whole bunch of ya just to get a picture with you and Nave'. Keep up the great content.

[@deankay4434]

Many farmers have a second job unless you have a large number of livestock. My stepfather, grandfather & grandmother all worked at the Goodyear tire plant producing truck tires & earth-mover tires. Grandma ran 1 of 10 tires thru and X-ray machine looking for defects, placement, thickness, etc. My stepfather moved tires with a forklift. My step grandfather built the inflatable center part that steam pushes the the tire into the mold, while steam was circulated around the outside. A chain hoist lifted the upper mold half automatically after a temperature was reached and held for a period of time. It changes will all variables for size, compounds, etc. I had been thru the plant on open house on 4-5 times. Gloves used at different stages would gather green rubber and once the gloves where to hard to use, they where normally thrown away. Famers would use these gloves to string barbwire to build a fence. They worked great for that. Great video!

[@MilePost106]

Great video showing how tires are made.

The ultimate hybrid, Legarms with a poodle mullet.

[@lawrencelacenski9781]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@bobb6342]

Poodle mullet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@arontimmerman4487]

It was used to be a mystery for me where those little rubber things on the tires are used for, thank you for explanation Nick. Good luck with the harvest, go for it!!

[@hazgebu]

I always thought that they were made specifically so that you can determine if the tire has been used before

[@scottwilhelme9880]

Thanks for taking us on the tour with you!!!

[@RRRIBEYE]

That was a blast to my past! I actually worked in that factory in Des Moines, on 2nd Ave. back in the early 80s for 2 years and there I met a foreman for the Premier Heavy Equipment Company, McAninch and that began my transformation from a tire builder, to a Heavy Equipment (CAT) Operator. Nice pay raise - MUCH better working conditions (Heated and AC cabs, stereo, etc lol) and much better scenery with different road construction jobsites all around Central Iowa. Retired in 2006 and enjoying these videos, gardening and doing a LOT of fishing! :-)

[@debinbc]

They keep north america rolling 🙏🙏🙏💕

[@donplautz9788]

Thank you so very much for showing us how the tractor tires are made 🚜

Scott at Titan tires for sure loves his job. Thanks for the tour.🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@SortaProfessional89]

What a PRIVILEGE!!! I would love to tour a factory like that. It always gives me a new found respect for how things are made. So cool. Thanks Titan Tire for giving us a sneaky peeky.

[@johnbarham7718]

What a fantastic video. I had no idea how tyres were made. Especially the little nodules on new tyres.

[@WilliamSmith-yl9yv]

Hey guys. I'm from Findlay Ohio. And I worked at Cooper tire and rubber for 37 years so everything you showed in this video . I did all of them jobs over the years . But we only built truck light truck and passenger tires. We didn't do farm tires.

[@shanekirk1040]

So cool that the KZbinrs take the time for others when you are in their area. Titan plant tour was so cool. Yhanks guys.

[@celestial7150]

Recently started a job as a tire builder. The process is quite involved - but it's interesting and definitely not boring.

[@aaronb4286]

Not sure why I enjoy you-tubers getting together so much but nice work...to awesome families and channels

[@danfinley3690]

Wow thanks for the tour so cool watching how tires are made

[@billireland2029]

Love factory tours like that. It helps to understand what it takes to manufacture the things we buy for sure.

[@lonniebennett634]

Walker Farms is awesome they set the bar high Supporting other farmers KZbin, love you guys

[@dianajean4837]

Two of the greatest families together! Love it! If all men had their integrity, the world would be running smoothly. This is the second time you've been in my home state this year, very cool !

[@Bill-pc5ev]

Love a great field trip.......even though I was not in a field

[@jimsullivan7639]

I noticed that most of these "farm" channels honor God. I think that is a big reason that American agriculture is so successful overall. Thank you for all you do!

[@trudy__taylorandjorjamummy]

I love watching Cole the Cornstar!! Think that's how I came to watching you guys

[@TacoBellCustomerService]

Nice to see tires being built in America even if materials are sourced elsewhere. Hopefully more factories will move production back to USA.

[@chriss1728]

Love my Titans on my 40 hp tractor. Glad to know they are made here!!

[@catfishinwithcrow685]

Really interesting i never knew that’s how tires were made thanks for the tour GOD bless

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

Now that was amazing. Thank you for sharing!

[@douglasthorson3214]

Your videos are some of the best on the web. The video quality is great, and the commentaries are very interesting, informative, noncritical, and not full of profane language like some out there. They show the wins, losses and ties in farming. I know because I was a dryland farmer until 2009. Kudos to you, and keep em coming!

[@donplautz9788]

Great video 🚜

[@DMSparky]

I always enjoy seeing older factories like that. My mind always wonders what it looks like 50 years ago.

[@TheRobertralph]

So cool. Thanks for doing the tour and video!

[@mattwhite2665]

Love seeing the farmtubers collaborate!

[@wolfpierce9157]

Enjoyed that video thanks all from Welker Farms.

[@BorisFett]

My tractor has titan tires. They have had a hard life but are still hanging in there. Thinking about switching from ag tires to industrial.

[@HammerPowered]

Fascinating tour to be certain. Always enjoy seeing the inner workings of stuff like this.

[@addicted-to-bass74]

Would rather watch the Welkers 7 days a week and twice on Sunday than watch coles channel. His channel is just infomercials and reminders.

[@ohioplowboyhawk6738]

Great video Welkers keep up the good work 👍 👍

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

I REALLY loved the detail about the little tails that are on a new tire. I also assumed it was from injection molding! Thank you for that :D

[@rickdewitt600]

Bob!! and his quips!!! He is one funny guy. I would hate to think that he does not miss a few opportunities. Best.

Very interesting thanks for taking us alongside you!!

I've spent time in the Bryan, Ohio Titan Tire plant. This is like a mirror image. This stuff is amazing to watch!

[@curthiggins8792]

Well done and exciting to watch...thanks!

[@dennisolsen4507]

I lived in Iowa from late 95 to early 2000 and Titan tire was on strike most of that time. Seeing this reminded me of the company.

[@senorfrog1792]

We have TITAN TIRE in our back yard in Bryan, Ohio. Those employees work hard !

I make tires for a living we make tires from start to finish pretty neat how tires are made I work for Hankook plant in TN

Brings back memories-spent 36 years at Goodyear-Topeka plant building components for earthmover, radial truck tires but in 36 years never built a tire

[@Captdal]

You farmers are so great !! Thanks

[@Das_Beachy]

I do maintenence in a consumer passenger and light truck tire factory. That process yall saw is the exact same for regular car or truck tires only on a much larger scale. We have the capability to produce around 63,000 tires every 24 hours when we are really rolling.
