Prepare Tire and Mark Pattern

[Music] make sure the cats are still on here nice all right well let's get this tire filled up so to fill up the tire we don't have power where the equipment is so damn run over to where we'd have power fill up three air compressors and come back and pump up the tire to get it just uh enough that we could drive it over to where we actually have power i actually don't think i've been in this thing yet this year 300 hours on it so far fires right up and i would say 299 of those hours have been snow plowing and i think one hour has been working in dirt these do not make efficient dirt machines but they are really good in snow you're gonna see a gentleman come out that has bought two of them he's gonna share his experiences of his so sam's making this look really easy so just watch real close how he's doing this because what i do is mine starts riding up he's keeping his perfectly flat that's the key i would say that this is a very viable alternative to on average we used about one to two blades per one of these tires and it took about one to two hours per tire to do see he wrote out that was a it happens but that's how you that's how i wrecked the blade rode out and pushed too fast see that's what you don't want to do it didn't it didn't bend it at all but you push too hard through there and you know hit that yeah that didn't bend it thankfully but me [Music] this is what's left this is the cutout from the tires so for the pattern what we'd looked at was the cooper tires that we have on our truck those work pretty good and just looked at what they did and duplicating it kind of this is a very very loader very budget cooper tire replica and so it's a pretty simple straight forward we're marking it i guess that helps you right sam yes it does okay so it speeds up the process because then he just follows the line instead of guessing and looking he just knows right where the line is i ran and got special silver markers you can see it better and then i'll just show you we just it's five five sipes per tire two three four five treads go that way we always go in the center of the tread pattern cut that big block in half and then on the opposite tire on the opposite tread they go the opposite way one two three four five there's no science to it beyond that i'm sure they're gonna somebody's gonna let us know that there's absolutely a science behind this yeah but not the way we're doing it we're just guessing the disclaimer is we're just doing it we're we're just…
