When you are putting big horsepower to the ground, the tyres matter more than most people realise. In this episode we sit down with Scott Sloan, who has flown in from the USA, to take a proper look at the 1100 super singles on our Fendt and why we moved away from duals. We cover compaction, flotation, VF technology and the real cost of getting your tyre pressures wrong, with some yield numbers that genuinely surprised us. Scott also walks us through how to read the stampings on a tyre, the story behind Goodyear and Titan, and a real-world case study from a grower in Illinois who paid for a full set of tyres in a single season just by switching off his row crop duals. Elsewhere on the farm, the Trailer of Dreams is being wrapped and finished ahead of Cereals 2026, and we get our first look at the P.X Lager, brewed from our own barley and ready to pour on the stand. With the weather finally turning and the crops ear filling, we also take a moment to look at how the season is shaping up before harvest.

I've seen this guy with different youtubers (Cole the cornstar, the Welkers). But this is the first time his story sticks and James reply's with the good questions. Well done.
I bet Tom doesn't understand your "Challenge Anneka" comment... 🤔😉🤣
Happy birthday for tomorrow James. Glad you had some rain. Cheers for now.
I have also seen titan tyers on other YouTube channels and they do actually care about their products
Seen that chap before o Cole the cornstar he’s keeping better company now 😊
Same as in Formula 1 - Temperature + Tyre pressure = Grip = Performance . Good video.
Hi James, Great video. Scott is a very interesting guy. Well done 👏
We have had to replace trelleborg tyres on our Fendt 930 here in NZ,at under 2,000 hrs,even after going through their tyre optimisation farce. They had started to delaminate and also had sidewall cracks. The trelleborg agents said it was caused by impact damage and walked away from the issue. We now spec Michelin for our new tractors and will never have another trelleborg on our yard.
Happy birthday James, your gonna be HALF A CENTURY OLD. 🎉🎉
Superb hearing about tyres from the American specialist. Fascinating and far more complex than expected. One of your most interesting videos recently. 👍
Great video James happy 50th birthday for tomorrow
Happy birthday James 🎉
You should extend your mudguards on the fent. Those tyres could easily flick a stone up and cause all sorts of damage to a person or property.
27:33 ... John Cleese will be so proud...
Americans weighing extremely large objects in lbs. So crazy. Why don't they go the whole hog and measure in ounces?! [Btw, 600,000 lbs = 266 tons, not 300,000 tons! Just goes to show how confusing their system is.]
PX FARMS VERY PROFESSIONAL FARMER'S UP THE FARMERS 💯. 🤙🦊🇬🇧
Funny he didn't mention how Firestone went bust 😆😆 He lost me when he admitted he was a trump / tariff supporter 🤡🤡🤡
