Cattle feeder tractor tire flipper

[Dan-IA]

Some time ago we discussed using tractor tires for cattle feeders after they were turned inside out. Well I shot a couple pix of the machine that turns 'em inside out. Here they are. I don't know what to call this gadget otherwise.

Always figured the crane for my service truck could do it but never got around to rigging it up. Some guys here just use a tractor loader.

Man, That's a lot of iron to do the job! Guess it's not surprising when you think of the forces involved in turning a big tire inside out.

a guy from out west would show up on sale day and turn tires for 20-25.00 each back in the late 80's .

There is a guy who has an ad in the "Farm and Ranch" paper that does tire turning in this part of the country.

I can't make any sense of the thing at all. Can you expalin how it works. Does it turn a whole tire or one that has been cut in half at the center line? Tom
