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.

Old car tires are of no value, so they just get rid of them - most often thrown into a landfill. But why litter the environment when rubber can be put to better use?

1 What is the best time to cut a car tire? The author shared his experience and will show how to make an indestructible sole for shoes - from an old car tire.
Read also: How to cut a laminate so that there are no chipsBy increasing the thickness of the sole, the shoes, of course, will gain a little weight, but there are pluses: the sole will be very durable and will last much longer.
The first step is to cut off a layer of rubber from a car tire (cut off to the cord).
As a result, we get a wide strip of rubber, which is quite enough to “change shoes” for several pairs of shoes.
Next, using a metal brush, the master makes notches on the inside of the rubber strip and on the sole of the shoe itself (for better adhesion to each other).

At the next stage, the master applies glue to the prepared rubber surface and to the sole.
We glue the sneakers to the rubber strip, press it with something heavy.

After the glue has dried, all that remains is to cut off the excess parts of the rubber with a knife.
Details on how to make a shoe sole from an old car tire can be seen in the author's video.
This article is based on a video from the YouTube channel Ban bekas & kerajinan .
At the summer cottage, it will look quite appropriate. Just enough to give it a more presentable appearance.
Lay the car tire flat on a table or any other horizontal surface. Then we draw petals using the template.
Next, we arm ourselves with a construction or clerical knife and cut out a ring with petals.
Cut out a circle from a piece of sheet rubber, and make drainage holes in the central part with a punch.
The next step is to nail the rubber circle to the petal ring.
Be sure to bend the tips of the nails on the reverse side to avoid injury. The result was the foundation of a garden bed.
Next we need a motorcycle tire. She needs to cut out a part of the rubber on the side.
After that, turn the tire inside out.
In the upper part of the motorcycle tire, we cut out petals of arbitrary shape for decoration with a knife (but it is desirable that they be the same size). Then we install it on top of the base.
We connect both parts of a homemade garden bed with nails.
At the end, it remains only to paint the finished product with paint. Better than aerosol. Paint color is up to you.
In this review, the author will share with us a fairly simple (but most importantly, working) way to cut a rubber tire from a car into strips. What they (bands) may be needed for, we will tell later.
The first step is to cut off the sides. Actually, it is these parts of the tire that we will dissolve into strips.
You may also be interested in reading: what can be done with the old step drill.
Rubber can be cut with an ordinary knife (the main thing is that it is sharp), but in this case the craftsman used a construction knife with interchangeable blades.
It is enough to moisten the knife blade itself in water, and it cuts rubber like clockwork.
In general, if you are going to cut a tire, try using a construction knife with some water. You will not regret.
We advise you to also read: how to make a tool for removing the bearing from the crankshaft.
Next, you need to make a device with which you can dissolve the rubber into strips.
To make a tool for cutting tires (let's call it a tire cutter), you will need the most common materials that can be easily found in any garage:
You will also need the main structural element - a cutting knife.
In its role is a replaceable blade for a construction / clerical knife.
Bend the metal plate into a U.
Make a kerf at the end of the prepared board and insert the plate into it. We fix it with two nails, as shown in the photo below.
We insert the blade into the plate, and next (at the required distance - depends on the desired strip width) we drive in a nail.
Our homemade device is ready. Now you can try it at work.
In general, anyone who has worked with a bottle cutter at least once will figure it out without problems - the principle is the same.
"Bait" the edge of the rubber on the blade, then pull it towards you. Thus, we quickly and easily dissolve the entire tire.
By hammering the nail closer to the blade, you can spread the cut strips along, reducing their thickness.
Cut rubber strips can be used to make the bottom of a flower bed or for other purposes, such as making a cushioned seat for a chair.

Manual tool for splitting tireA simple homemade wall punching punching bag made from an old car or truck tire, ideal for practicing hard hitting at home.
The wall pear can be hung both in the room and in the garage or home workshop.
The base is attached to the wall cushion using dowels. As a platform for tires, you can use plywood, OSB, a wooden shield.
The wall-mounted “cushion” for hitting can be fixed in only one position (on the same level) or made universal in order to adjust its height for practicing punches not only with hands, but also with legs.
First of all, we cut off a piece of plywood or a wooden board that fits the size.
Then we make a marking on the tire, based on the length of the platform, after which, using an angle grinder, we cut off a suitable piece of rubber for the wall “cushion”.
The next step is to mark and drill holes in the base for wall mounting.
Using self-tapping screws with large washers, fasten the tire itself to the platform. To do this, you need to make cuts along the edges.
Then all that remains is to drill four holes in the wall to screw the wooden base.
You can watch the detailed process of making a home-made wall-mounted “cushion” for whipping in the video on our website.
Make a Wall Tool for Kickboxing — Diy FitenssIn this review, the author will share an idea on how to make a water container from a tire from a Kirovets tractor.
A self-made container is useful for watering plants and trees in a summer cottage. From the main tool you will need:
We advise you to also read: how to make an original concrete path for a garden or cottage.
Using a drill, drill a hole for the file, then use a jigsaw to cut out the cord.
We find a suitable place on the site, and you can start installing a homemade water tank.
We level the area where the container will be located, cover it with plastic wrap. Then we put the cut tire from the tractor on top, and set it to the level.
At the bottom of the tire, you will need to drill a through hole with a diameter of 21 mm.
Next, we install a water shackle with two lock nuts, a ball valve and a fitting (for connecting a hose).
The hole in the bottom of the tank will need to be concreted. For better adhesion of the solution to the tire, the author screws in the screws and ties them with steel wire.
We prepare the concrete solution and pour the bottom of the tank.
After the concrete had dried, I painted the bottom with homemade waterproofing, which can be made from Styrofoam and xylene (or gasoline).
How to prepare waterproofing, read here .
The process of making a water tank from a tractor tire can be seen in the video below. This idea was shared with us by the author of " Anatoly Stupin" (video source - YouTube).
Container for water from the Kirov cylinder.Rubber water tank is a great option for giving. It is very strong and at the same time lightweight.
The container is also resistant to sunlight, making it suitable for outdoor use. And it doesn't rust like a metal barrel. You can make a rubber container from an old car tire.
The idea of making a homemade product belongs to the author of the YouTube channel Ban bekas & kerajinan.

First of all, we select a car tire of a suitable size.
Using a knife, cut out a ring on one of its sides.
Turn the tire over on the other side, and nail a piece of thick rubber onto the nails. This will be the bottom of the container.
The tire itself and the previously cut ring will need to be turned inside out.
A rubber ring will serve as a base. We install a tire on it, after which we nail it.
Next, you need to make the handles. The author cut off two pieces of rubber, and nailed them to the sides of the container.
At the last stage, all that remains is to paint the outer surface of the tire with black paint - the water in it will heat up faster.
It is clear that drinking water cannot be stored in such a container. But collecting rainwater or, for example, heating tap water to water plants is the right thing.
Details on how to make a water tank from a car tire can be seen in the author's video below.
There is never too much water in a summer cottage. Especially if the central water supply is not carried out. To store water, we suggest using a homemade container from an old car tire.
Rubber as a material is in many ways better than metal or plastic.
Firstly, it absorbs the heat of the sun better, as a result of which the water warms up quickly (and plants need warm water). At the same time, rubber retains heat better. Secondly, rubber is more durable than the same metal. Thirdly, it is a cheap and affordable material.
The author of the YouTube channel Ban bekas & kerajinan shared his personal experience of making a homemade water tank from an old car tire. Take note.
First of all, using a clerical knife, you need to cut off a part of the car tire - cut out a ring, which will later be used as the base of the container.
From a piece of rubber, cut out a circle of suitable diameter and use small nails to nail it to the car tire.
We bend the protruding ends of the studs. This is the bottom of the container.
The next step is to turn the tire inside out. We attach the previously cut ring to the bottom of the container.
In the end, all that remains is to make handles so that you can carry the container from place to place.
To do this, use a drill or screwdriver to drill through holes in the tire and insert a rope into them. From the inside of the tire we make knots, after which we cut off the excess. We lightly melt the ends of the rope with a lighter.
Then it remains only to wash the car tire well with water and detergent and paint the outside.
For details on how to make a container for storing water from an old tire, we recommend watching the author's video below.
Disposal of waste is very urgent all over the world. The Vietnamese, for example, went the right way - they began to reuse old tires from trucks, but in the form of baskets and buckets for household needs.
The tread layer is removed from the old worn car tire and all parts containing steel wire are cut off.
Next, the inside of this tire is exposed.
Unlike the outer one, it does not contain as many rubber strength additives as the cord and tread portions. That is why the inside is so elastic.
After thoroughly washing the rubber from dirt, you need to set the shape of the future basket. Having bent the workpiece to the state of a cylinder, we fasten it with temporary brackets.
Cut out from a wide piece of the elastic part a circle with a diameter equal to the diameter of the inner part of our cylinder.
We also fix it on the brackets.
Next, we proceed to the final assembly of the basket.
We drill holes at the seams of our temporary joints and sew everything with threads.
For ease of transfer, we attach handles opposite each other along the upper edges of the cylinder. Fasten with staples and drill holes. With the help of rivets and washers we rivet our fasteners for handles.
In the same way, but with a smaller strip, we can make a lid for our basket.
In this review, we will tell you how to make a cool country table using different materials at hand. The neighbors are sure to be jealous!
When finished, the outdoor coffee table looks very cool. You can't even tell that it's made of rubbish.
For the manufacture of the table we need:
It will also be necessary to prepare a chain-link metal mesh (a small piece) and a polyethylene film.
If summer cottage for you is not only work in the garden, but also comfortable outdoor recreation, then you will surely need a comfortable deck chair made of wooden pallets.
The first step is to lay the metal mesh on a flat surface (eg concrete floor). Then it will be necessary to lay a plastic film on the mesh, and rubber tires are already laid on it.
We mix cement mortar from cement, sand and water. We fill them with the inside of the tires, reinforce with a plaster mesh.
Insert a piece of plastic pipe into the flower pot. We install it in the center of a large tire. Fill with cement mortar.
We cut off all the excess, and grind.
Next, using cement mortar, glue the table leg to the base, also placing it in the center.
