I was looking thru a horsey mag (Horse and Rider?) yesterday and saw some pictures of horses being fed from what looked like inside out tractor tires. You could see a rough outline of the tread through the smooth casing and the tire bead was turned up rather than down.

Is this actually what I saw?

What kind of equipment would be needed to turn a tractor tire inside out?

Where would you obtain tires like this?

Is the main advantage injury prevention for the horses or are there others?

You were'nt seeing things, there is a machine that turns large tractor tires inside out to make feeders. I have never seen it work, but know the basic operation. You start by cutting one bead off of it, usualy using a good saber saw, I've heard of them using a chain saw. Then it is set on a big round plate that is bigger than the bead on the bottom. A bunch of short chains are hooked into the top edge and secured to the frame of the machine. Then a big hydraulic ram pushes the plate up through the middle of the tire till it is turned inside out. Clear as mud, I know, but the best I can do.

I have turned car tires inside out for flower beds, cut one bead off and slit that sidewall so that it looks like the teeth on a saw blade and start pulling, the softer the tire the easier it is. make nice raised flower beds and easy to mow around

I helped a friend a couple years back turn used truck tires inside out. We just used tires they had laying around. Flipping one side inside out is no problem, but flipping the other side can be a real pain in the butt. Of course, we"re young, have weak minds and strong backs. Flipping the tires inside out makes great feeders because they won"t rot or rust away, flexible, won"t snap when it"s -20 out, and it"s safer for the animals. Hope this helps. Rich

A friend turns tractor rears for use as feeders. One HUGE advantage of turning them inside out is greater capacity, close to 3 times as much.

Farm Show magazine had an article many years ago about a guy that built some sort of a contraption for turning tires inside out. Don't remember how it worked. Might be a place to start looking.

there is a company that does this but do not know who. It is safer for animals ...no sharp tire tread to get cut on.
