After hauling the junk out of the newly redone garden, I remembered I wanted to pick up these tyres from the forest edge.

The big tyre (1.6m diameter), which I could only barely wrestle onto the pallet forks looks unused, just minor age cracks (different rules from car tyres apply here). These cost about €400 each if you buy them new, a whole soviet tractor can be had for about €2500 with tyres far worse than this one. I even have a hunch where the other one might be.

Found a couple meters of 30mm thick wire rope next to them, too.

@yngmar i think a lot of soviet line excavators used 24 mm wire rope, i mean those with 1㎥ bucket, used a lot for melioration. What to do with old ropes? Just drop where boss didn't see 😎

@mcSlibinas This one has a loop on either end, so probably was used to pull stuff with a tractor. The previous guy stored a lot of things by the edge of the forest 🤷

@yngmar yup, those was very popular for pulling tractors and trucks from mud. Mud was everywhere, so those old wire ropes was reusable by a lot.

@mcSlibinas Mud still is everywhere 😆

Although this spring mud season was short. Last year was a mess :)
