Why We Switched to Super Singles, A Deep Dive Into Big Ag Tyres With Goodyear Titan
from P.X. Farms Podcast · host P.X. Farms
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.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro3:19 Weathers Effect On Grass4:12 Meet Scott Sloan from Titan and Goodyear6:42 How the super single tire was born14:22 VF technology and tyre pressures18:50 Pressure and weight demo21:57 Tyre size comparison and reading the stampings25:38 The Goodyear and Titan story31:03 Tyre handling and storage on the farm33:38 Reading tyre faults and warranty38:19 Inside the factory: Scott's story45:37 The Illinois yield case study49:32 Supply chains, tariffs and Iran52:25 Outro and what's nextP.X.
