Tyres would then be replaced by straw bales when that season came. Which are awesome for fort building.
Baling season was fun. A bunch of kids perched on top of a tractorload of hay on country roads, what could possibly go wrong?

Me jack-knifing a full trailer load on the chunky tractor tyres and 4 very pissed off labourers having to unload the whole thing so we could bounce the 30ft trailer round to free it from the tyres. Then reload.
But yeah, kids hanging on to the top with bailer twine going 30mph down a b-road under low trees.

Used to love that job as a kid. Although I think the farmer was canny and got us to do it for him by making it a competition, who could chuck the tyres the furthest. Bunch of children running around an industrial silo, what could possibly go wrong?
