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 tires for the Kirovets tractor or models for other special equipment, the 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.
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.
Instructions - work better with a partner:
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.
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.
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:
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.

But why? All these cuts are good somehow more for stones, so that they cling better. But they won’t save you from side slips .
.. Boger is cut mainly to improve self-cleaning. And on cutlets, with their low weight, they do not flatten, this is also one of the reasons for cutting the tread.
Under the 70th, the boger flattened well and I did not notice critical side slips, it just slipped a little.

Thank you, I'll take note, a very interesting option.

Dima - cut, don't cut, drank, boil - in those Biryuchy's ambushes where I dug, not competent cutting will help, but the size 38x15.5 (or 40x16.5) for our weight. Which is a priori not for our cars with a delicate suspension. Or did you find deposits of dense clay on the rocks near Tokmak?
Finding mud is not a problem at all, getting stuck (burrowing) is also not a particular problem, the main desire, but on about. We take it so as not to "lay low", pressure up to 0.5 atm needs to be done and a completely different alignment is obtained, in principle I agree with everything, but 38 "or 40" won't fit me so easily, I will need to "dramatically cut" and I don’t agree about the “gentle” suspension either, I don’t know how it is for anyone, but I already have it quite “brutal”, where the bridge cars slow down, I sometimes don’t let off the gas, but this is a separate issue.
Best regards.

I don't really understand the motivations - why buy a Boger to then cut it, inventing all sorts of reasons to justify this? Since '07, I have been driving Bogers and have absolutely no desire to change anything in it, on the contrary, I got a buzz from the most uncompromising tire of all that came across! True, he still has some shortcomings, of course. They are especially noticeable on ice, sand, therefore, in that and in that environment, you need to learn how to ride Bogers and take into account these weaknesses, because Bogers are dug in the sand from the start, they glide like a cow on ice. Well, there are some tricks and everything is back to normal .. But as for lateral drifts on slopes with weakly bearing soils, this is complete garbage, you need to learn how to drive and correctly dose traction on wheels, I wrote about this many times and never experienced this in the mountains on wet soils lack and did not take me down.
It's a pity to cut such a tire, it's easier to buy something already cut by the manufacturer into squares, small lamellas or ribbons and not spoil the coolest extreme tire Interco Boger.

Thank you all, I heard everyone, thanks for the advice, I'll ride the "original", then we will draw conclusions, I already found the tire sealant, I'll glue them to the disk and that's it.
Best regards.

Strelock, what sealant did you get and where did you buy it?

Seryozha, at the tire fitting shop (opened next to work) there was a tire sealant, and balancing balls (into the inside of the tire, for Boggers what you need) and a machine for regrooving the tread and a lot of other yummy things, I’ll come to them on Monday and have a look its brand and let you know.
Best regards.

I bought an interesting machine for cutting tire tread at the station, I want to share my impressions of using it.
I bought this device in order to cut my FBL until it came to the FBL, started trying how the regrower itself works, took almost bald tires with a VW T5 tseshka, and that's what happened.

Interesting topic. We are waiting for the continuation.

Hmm, that's impressive.
.. I thought there was no point in cutting the bell-shaped rubber, but it turns out there is... the result - it looks almost like new. Cool.
Sent by 10 December 2015 - 23:54
It turned out cool. Wait for me to cut soon ;)
The question is different. And how does the strength of the tires change after such cutting? I guess you need to drive more carefully and more slowly on such tires...

On truck tires I often see the following marking: Regroovable - for tires that have the ability to deepen the pattern by cutting.
A thick layer of rubber is laid under the tread so that when worn there is where to go deep.
On a passenger car, I noticed that as the tire is very worn out, you cut and pierce it with anything, even small stones and knots, the small thickness affects.
IMHO I would not go into depth, so symbolically. But to expand the slots and add them, it helps a lot, when I did it with a grinder. But the regrover, compared to the grinder, is heaven and earth in terms of speed and quality.

IMHO: this is hellish on @ balovo. If you make yourself - then yourself, if for sale - then the buyer.
About 10 years ago, I accidentally bought a second-hand AT on the market, as it turned out later, chopped.
And he went nuts when a week later he broke through the first ramp with rubble. Rubble, Carl! fractions 25-40.
And it didn’t just break through - this piece of rubble made a hole 25-30 mm in length in the slope. In the middle of the treadmill.
Too bad I didn't take a photo then.
The other three tires went the same way.

An excellent device for cutting additional tread!
Lysaki should not be restored, the thickness of the rubber is not the same, but the speed and load on the tire do not change.
five years ago, a comrade made himself a super-duper madova with ordinary UAZ rubber - it turned out pretty well.
. I bought this device in order to cut my FBL.
I wonder what picture you chose?

Let's continue to share our impressions by cutting today a pair of 195/65 r15 bald summer tires with different speed indices, one tire was 91T the second 91H compared different tires in the hope that a different speed index means that the stock of rubber thickness for cutting will also be different, but not both tires after deepening the regrower knife, 2mm reached the crust, two tires were equally worn, the wear indicator showed 1mm tread remaining, the conclusion is that more than one summer rubber with 1-2mm tread remaining is not suitable for cutting. I'll try to post a photo of the experiment tomorrow. But cargo rubber for beads with marking 225/70 R15C is great for cutting, they specifically checked how deep it can go to get to the court with a 2mm tread left, the blade was set to 5mm only then they got to the court.
Now it's M/T's turn.

Hello everyone.
Serega "Timofeevich" sorry, I forgot a little about my promise, I'm posting a photo of a jar of sealant on which I "planted" tires on wheels)))
And besides this (we can only dream of peace), nevertheless, the "Alya Boggerov" tread was "knifeed" a little, and as they say, "spring will show who and where gave a shit"
Yours faithfully.

I cut it, but it's a boger and not a weld. It works super. Especially in the Carpathians. Many have seen how Khyzhak eats.
