    If I buy second hand tyres for the tractor, would a guy that does call outs (mobile tyre repairs) be able to fit the 4 tyres in the yard and would it be a big job to fit them time wise

    Ya they should no problem, most guys can change the tyres not without taking the wheels off the tractor.

    Might be cheaper if you drive to their depot, van callout charge could be avoided. Phone them and see what they say.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    You cant do that from work though! Got 4wd front tyres changed on tractor lately and the biggest thing l lifted was my phone.

    Twud b hard enough now for one man on his own to jack, prop, take off wheel(s) and yank into a trailer (not a hope with back wheels) on your own. Grand when twas mf135! Then drive wherever and same back again. Best part of the day gone. Have to put a price on all that.

    We got 2 back tyres on our tractor recently we bought them and local tyre man fitted them for 50 euro, 50 euro is his call out fee any way.

    My apologies. Misread that one. See in my case the tractor had a puncture aswell.
