How to cut a tire from a tractor?

Old tractor tires are a valuable resource for a dacha or a private house, they can also be used in the garage. Rubber recycling in our country is poorly developed, so you have to come up with different ideas on how to give a "second life" to used products. Having chosen new tractor tires or models for other special equipment, owners sometimes do not want to throw away the old ones. They can be found quite worthy and useful application.

But it's not enough just to find a use for used tires, the most difficult thing is to cut them. Massive and thick products are difficult to perform in such procedures, so manual labor is very exhausting, and hard rubber with a steel cord can be too tough for a power tool. In this article we will talk about popular methods - how and with what to cut a tractor tire. nine0003

Knife

This tool is suitable for cutting small tractor tires - for example, front wheels from MTZ. If you work with an old-style tire that does not have a metal cord, you can cut along any path, you just need to mark it. In the presence of a steel frame with a knife, you can divide the product in half, while cutting should be parallel to the direction of the rods.

It is better to choose a tool with a moderately thin blade, ideally 1 mm, maximum 3 mm. In this case, the metal must be hardened, not bend under loads. If you work with a “raw” sharpening, it will not only bend, but the blade will become dull rather quickly. nine0003

Instructions - work better with a partner:

  • mark the cutting path with chalk or a bright marker;
  • lubricate the blade with machine oil, so it will be easier for it to slide;
  • first make some deep cuts;
  • squeeze the tire so that the seam begins to turn outward;
  • as soon as the rubber is cut through completely, pierce it with a knife completely at the cut point;
  • start carefully cutting along the marked path; nine0016
  • with an assistant spread the material at the seam, it will be easier to cut, since the blade is not squeezed.

Not recommended to rush, be careful. The knife will “get stuck” in the material and, with a sharp movement, the blade may come off on the hand. You should also prepare for the fact that the tool will have to be sharpened several times during the procedure.

Bulgarian

The most effective way is to cut the angle grinder (grinder). The advantage is that this tool can work with both rubber and metal cord, which is present in new models. Accordingly, the possibilities are expanding: cutting not only straight seams, but also zigzag and with a different trajectory. nine0003

For cutting metal discs are suitable, but thin - 0.8-1 mm thick. Work is best done outside, as the tractor's rubber will smoke and smell strongly. You should also get personal protective equipment in the form of gloves and goggles.

Recommendations for the execution of work:

  • mark the trajectory of the cut;
  • start cutting along the lines;
  • we periodically pause so that the angle grinder does not overheat;
  • if the lines are complex, at the corners should be cut from each direction; nine0016
  • , if necessary, change the circles, which may begin to crumble from heating.

Can a jigsaw be used?

An electric jigsaw is also suitable for a tractor tire, but it can only make cuts parallel to the direction of the cord. To do this, you need to know the type of tire and correctly guide the blade. If you make a mistake and allow the teeth of the tool to contact the metal, it may bend or break. Better glide will also provide motor or any other engine oil. nine0003
