"Punched Out" Half Tires Great For Covering Bunker Silos CROP STORAGE Bunk Silos 22-6-17 The problem with using old tires as weights when covering bunker silos is that they're heavy and also water gets inside which at-tracts mosquitoes and other insects. FARM SHOW knows of at least two companies that cut bias ply truck tires in half and then punch holes in them. The holes make them lighter and easier to carry. The punched-out half tires weigh only 30 to 35 lbs. apiece. West Point Design, West Point, Neb., sells its silage tire weights for $1.25 apiece plus S&H.
