[AT] Cutting Tractor Tires

Sat Jun 10 15:38:43 PDT 2006

I bought one of those kits to make tire swings and other stuff, and they 
included sabre saw blades for cutting the tires..  (special blades)  It 
loooks like they just took a hammer to the blades and hammered the set out 
of the blades..  They work.  We cut tires for feeders.  If you get a cut 
started, then pull out the cutting as you saw and it works a lot faster. 
Wemade feeders out of a pair of 23.1-34's   Took almost a day to cut both of 
them...
