I have almost decided I want to change the 14.9 X 24 turf tires on my Maseey Ferguson 35 for a set of ag tires.
I have come across a fellow who indicated he was interested in doing a "swap" - my turfs for his ag tires - both sets are on rims, my turfs are loaded and I don't know yet if the ag tires are loaded.
The question I have - What would make this a fair trade? Is one type of tire usually more expensive than the other if we can assume the tires are in comparable condition?
I hope to contact this person later in the week and arrange to see the tires he has but I would appreciate any advice on what to look for beyond rusty and decaying rims and severly checked rubber. Is there an easy way to determine the age of a tire (even approximately)?
Any other advice appreciated.
