Farm Equipment Tires & Service in Independence, KS
Yes. We provide expert tire service for tractors, combines, implements, skid steers and farm trailers, in our shop on N 6th Street or in your field with our service truck when the machine can't move.
Please note: on agricultural equipment, we provide tire service only. We don't perform mechanical repairs on tractors, combines or implements.
Which equipment brands do you work on?
John Deere equipment, like the tractor and skid steer on this page, comes through our shop. Our full list of agriculture brands is being added to this page. If you run another brand, call and ask. Tire work is about the tire size and type more than the badge on the hood.
What kinds of farm equipment do you handle?
- Tractors: utility, row-crop and loader tractors, front and rear tires
- Combines and harvest equipment
- Implements: planters, sprayers, balers, rakes, grain carts and wagons
- Skid steers and compact track or wheel loaders
- Farm, stock and equipment trailers
- Farm pickups and flatbeds, covered on our domestic makes page
In the shop or in the field?
Bring it to the shop when the machine can travel and you'd rather we have every tool at hand. Call out the service truck when a tractor is down in the middle of a field, an implement is loaded, or moving it would do more damage. The truck brings the tire work to you. See mobile tire service.
Repair or replace?
A puncture in the tread of a farm tire can often be repaired. Sidewall cuts from stubble, rock or metal, deep weather cracks, and tires run flat under load usually mean replacement. We'll inspect it and give you an honest recommendation. Full details are on our farm and ag tires page.
A pre-season check for your equipment tires
- Pressure for the load: farm tires are run at pressures matched to the load and speed. Too low cracks the sidewalls, too high hurts traction and compacts the soil.
- Cuts and bulges: stubble, rock and metal cause damage that's easy to miss until a tire lets go.
- Weather cracking: equipment that sits outside between seasons ages its tires fast.
- Valve stems: especially on liquid-ballasted tractor tires.
