Tire Bumper

Submitted by: Kansas City District 

Innovation Description and Benefit:

Our innovation is a tire bumper made from pipe with a cap welded on the end that is bolted on the mower, so the tractor tire won’t be damaged on sharp turns. It prevents the rear tire from contacting the mower deck where the wing of the mower folds, cutting through the ribs of the tire.
