I've operated farm tractors in the 20-60 hp range all my life since age 10; I'm now 62. I've never got into tractor pulling nor restoration. I have one tractor(Ford 2n) at present and it is strictly a work tractor. I'd like to know what the term "cut tires" means to those in the pulling game. I hate to appear this ignorant, but finding out is the one and only effective weapon against ignorence.

makes me absolutely sick to see someone take a new firestone tire and grind the lugs down on a taper. SICK.

As I explained in my previous post, I have my power/weight balance pretty effective for what I use my tractor for. I haul some very heavy(up to 3 ton) loads on my trailer with it, use 8' disc, use 6' scraper blade, 2 bottom plow, drag logs and ocaisonally pull a hayride. It performs these tasks very well and since I am not into "pulling", I'd never want to carve up my tires in such manner. I'd think tires thusly altered would wear out sooner if used regularily for work and were like mine, required to run ovey hard surfaced roads frequently.

Cut Tires are simply this . You take a tool to cut the edges of the bars on the tires to make them sharp. Thers many different ways to do it . Grinder , Planers , etc, some use a jig to make them all as close as possible . there is a top cut only and a double cut . It basically increases the grip and bite of the tire to enhnace your traction . If you look at a nice set of cut tires spinning as the tractor drives it will give the appearance of a square shape which means your getting as much bite as possible for the area that touches the ground /

Thank you very much Lumbrjakman, for your reply. I'd like to see a picture of these close up posted. I have my 12.4's loaded on my 2N and it also once had wheel weights too, until some one apparently "needed" those weights more than I did. It scales 3300# with loaded tires and bumper, less driver and no wheel weights. Thusly equipped, it seems to work very well traction/power wise doing the jobs I use it for. I have beefed up the pto. hp. from the origional 24 aprox. to 30 aprox. and this gives me a very noticable power increase and it handles its own body weight with ease.

when your pulling you dont want a lot of tread bars because you'll just chop up the dirt and make it looser.

for offroadin/rock crawlin they cut horizontal slits in the tires for grab also called grooving
