    Just wondering if there was any update on this yet? We haven't started harvest yet ourselves but not sure on timing over your way.

    Canola windrowing started today to be finished in a couple of stints tomorrow and Sunday, so 10-14 days until the tyres start working.
    I'm building my own RTK base station mostly for the tractor but unfortunately not likely to justify the cost to unlock the header's system, which would have made steering in wheat and lupins more relaxing.

    ID suggest something along the lines of powedered rubber mixed in with tyre patching glue.

    Clean out your voids abrade the surface inside as best you can then apply the mix... Best guess would be 50/50 by volume.

    Neither sealant persisted. Maybe I'll try a tyre rubber specific compound another time, possibly only deep in the crevices where the gap doesn't close and open as much when the tyre rotates under load. At least the gaps aren't being forced open with the rotation direction now corrected.

    I've used black Sikaflex IIFC to repair cracks in ride on mower tyres and to repair split CV boots with some success, might not work on machinery though. I wipe the tyre or boot with acetone to clean it and then apply the Sika and it works surprisingly well on the CV boots where sticks punch holes in the bottom of the V's.
    Even on the large zero turn it lasts for along while before needing reapplication.
