Below, please list the types of off-highway farm vehicles you own such as low-horsepower tractors, implements, floatation equipment, skid steers, etc. When we say “low-horsepower tractors” we are referring to tractors with between 45 and 85 horsepower. These should only be vehicles used primarily for your farm operation. Please do not include combines or high horsepower tractors.
Thinking about just the tires on these pieces of equipment, what is the average life of each type’s tires in months?

|
|
|
|
* When do you decide to buy a tire/ make a purchase request? |
| |
|
|
|
|
* Thinking about all your equipment listed above, about how many tires do you buy per year? |

Please think about tires you’ve purchased for your off-highway farm equipment over the last 5 years. Below is a list of tire brands. Please indicate how frequently you have purchased each brand.
If you have never heard of that brand, or have heard of the brand but not purchased it in the past 5 years, select the appropriate column: "never heard of" or "only heard of".
