Actually those tires ain't real expensive as far as equipment tires go. Throw a shitty operator in one of those out on a job site and they will burn them up just as fast.

An 18.4x46" Firestone 23* Deep Tread tire costs about $1850.


The reason he is doing this burnout is to wear in the tires before it is tested on pulling power and such. New tires are inconsistent across machines so they burn them down a ways to make the tests fair.

The Nebraska Tractor Test Lab is an independent testing agencies that tests tractors abilities in many aspects.

They have some very unique testing machines that they have built.

If that's true then it makes sense,otherwise it's pretty dumb if you ask me. It's geared so low there is hardly any tire spin

It is a tire prep video from the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab. They are the Consumer Report for tractors. Here's a link to some other cool video's from the tractor test lab. Early in the 20th century the Nebraska tractor test began. This is when farmers were converting over to tractors from horse's. The lab was setup to verify manufactures performance ratings, since many of these were inflated.

This is a quote from the tractor lab:

Prepping tires for Nebraska Tests. These tractors are tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab on a concrete track. New Tires provide inconsistant results during the tests. As part of the preparation for these tests, the tires need to be heated to cure them. In addition, the tread bars on the tires are worn down to about 60% of new height.
