Subject: Combine - Floaters vs. Dual tires


Do the corn head stubble stompers protect the wide floater tires from stubble damage or will they have to be prematurely replaced as compared to duals. Replacing floaters at $4,000 - to $5,000 per tire is pricey.

How hard is it to find these tires if you ruin one during harvest? Looks like they would be a real bear to repair or replace. Does the repairman hang-up the phone when you tell him the size of the tire that is flat or do they smile knowing they will have a nice check to take to the bank.

Looks like floaters have some advantages, but I doubt that cost is one of them.
