I heard of that happening, but never seen one

Ouch!

Ouch is right...big time bummer. Can something like that be patched or are you looking at a new tire?

Saved the tire by putting a boot patch inside but needed a new tube.
Took 2 guys 32 minutes $480

Ouch,
Yet I know lots of farmers who won't allow shed hunting.

This farm is on rented ground, looks like I need to start walking it for sheds. Found 1 last year 1 row over would have been same results.

Yikes! That's one expensive shed.

Been there, done that. Last thing a person needs this year is a delay in getting crops in the ground.

Yep that's a big ouch. Lucky you were able to repair it. I've heard tires are really hard to come by right now and way over priced. I did the same on the vertical till a few years ago. 2 nice big punctures.

Nasty.
Only ever happened to me once. Was one of the smaller air seeder tires. Usually they're in the hayland here and the discbine finds them first, ha.

Just a week ago saw one just in time and got the sprayer stopped about 5 feet before I ran it over. Had 4 brand new tires put on this spring at 2100 each. Would not have been good. Tires were expensive but we were just glad to find some.

Wow, those are expensive tires! People don't realize the expenses involved in farming, not just seed and fertilizer

Wow, $2100 per tire. I haven't done any looking, yet, but I'm going to need some new tires before too long. I'll be holding off as long as possible. The Mrs. won't be too impressed if I dump much more $$ into the tractor this year just to feed some deer.
