Tires Question about tires keep going flat.

That definitely sucks. The magnet idea sounds worth trying. Maybe a local welding shop could fab something together for you at a reasonable cost.

Take them a picture and see what they say. Maybe it could be attached to your FEL or to an implement in the rear and travel backwards.

I will see what they can come up with

Corey, While I was eating dinner, you got some Great Advice on the Magnet. One should be able to get a magnetic strip built for that purpose without the need for a welder... They use them on parking lot sweepers and one should be able to find one close by with the WWW.. I'm sure someone local could order it in for you....

Black Locust trees are about the worst thing I have ever came across for puncturing tires. We had a lot of these where we used to live. I don't miss them one bit.

I have locast on the edge of some fields we make hay in. Never ending battle. I also have this kind. I know in 2009 I was seeing my tire repair guy way too much!

the amish/menonite in my area run steel wheels - I don't think they get too many flats!!

I think you will get more flats with ags then r4's. There is more lugs on R4 so its somewhat more protection. I think if the fronts were foamed, you should be ok with it, even if it develop the dreaded flat spot. The fronts on BX is so small, and its top speed is still pretty slow so the thumping wouldnt be as noticeable like those in large farm tires.

this may sound stupid it did to me until i tried it 2 years later still up before had to put air in every time i used it antifreeze yes that's wright put some in your hand see how long it takes to wash it off a french s mustered bottle fits perfect over the valve stem now this was on a ATV it took a cup in each tire so if you dont try it really what do you have to lose :thumbsup::thumbsup:

How about taking those tracks that atv's use in the winter (that look like 4 tank tracks) one on each wheel. Think that would work? Lol

That would take care of the fronts but what about the rears?

It does sound crazy but it's crazy ideas that made the things we use today and can't live without.
