Truck Tire Beads Make Great Silage Pit Weights TIRES/WHEELS New Uses 22-1-36 "They're much easier to handle and store than whole tires," says an Iowa company which cuts the beads out of 24-in. truck tires and sells them for use as silage pit weights.
Bee Right Tire Disposal goes to farms to pick up the tires and uses its own tire-cutting equipment to cut off the beads. Farmers come in to pick up the 4-in. wide beads.
"They're easier to carry than whole tires and eliminate problems with water or ice in-side tires. They're also easy to stack and take up less storage space," says Jerry Yoemann. "Each bead weighs 20 lbs. which is about the same as a car tire. You can carry four or five beads to your silage pile at a time. Fifty beads can be stacked in a 4-ft. high pile. We sell the beads for 50 cents apiece."
