Good evening to all!
A small video with a tractor with iron wheels.
A conversion from, normal wheels
in iron ore, so that it can enter areas with water for growing rice.
A conversion that some of you may not have seen, perhaps!
here is the video

When the first tractors arrived on farms in the 1890s, they were equipped with steel wheels, and it took 40 years for inflatable rubber tyres to arrive.

Steel wheels were already standard equipment on steam traction engines, but they had a number of disadvantages. One of the problems was vibration and poor steering control when travelling over rough ground.
For tractors, this limited the typical maximum speed to between 5kph and 8kph, which was not much faster than the horses that still did most of the work on farms.

Another problem was that the steel wheels used on steam engines were not designed to provide maximum traction for field work.

I had this idea, to make an electric tractor for working the garden, and I want to put the wheels as on the fordzone. Before I made it with rubber wheels, it was stuck. In fact, first of all, I want to know how to make the front wheels. There is a convex rim, how to make it?
