- Tire factory! Titan Tires invited us to take a tour of their Des Moines Iowa factory. Tires make the farm go round! Here on Welker Farms we have more tires than we can count and being able to see they come from was quite an amazing experience. Come join just as we explore the factory!
Titan Tires is the manufacturer of the worlds largest ag tire:

We also took a wrong turn and some how ended up at Cole The Cornstar's farm!

Titan is made by Good Year or Good Year is made by Titan ????
By titan
Titan Tires bought Goodyear Farm Tire division a few years ago and kept the Goodyear name.
Mike Youngblood yes
That was the same question I had the new tires say Goodyear on the side but you keep talking about Titan tires. Probably also a money thing not having to replace all of those molds so they said Titan instead of Goodyear on the sidewall.
@@WelkerFarms Goodyear Sold the Division but still has a vested interest in the company. I shared the video with a friend who is the Goodyear director of that division
I live 15 minutes from that factory and I have been in the Des Moines area most my life. I drive by that factory on a weekly basis. What’s cool is that I had to come to your channel to finally see what’s inside. Fascinating stuff and Thank you for sharing!

Millennial Farmer nice
The old man himself, he showed up and commented *celebration noises*
About time🤣🤣🤣
hi!
Hmm this looks sketchy, better block this guy!
I could have walked that factory all day. So interesting. Thanks for the tour, Titan!
Thank you for sharing your time with the Cornstars and the great factory tour. The value added features on the Welker Farms channel make your videos a rich viewing experience. You don't just have tilling, spraying, planting and harvesting - you show your subscribers a larger more positive view of agriculture. Great work.
I spent 33 year's working for Goodyear tire but it still interesting. Brings back old memories.
Thanks Welkers.
Thanks Welkers...So appreciate you showing the tire plant..Appreciate Titan Tire letting you show us.. BTW..Now the Cornstars should come to Montana..
Two of my favorite channels Welker's and corn Stars
Great to see you guys visiting each other that was a great start to your video! Always nice to see everyone having a little fun once in a while with all that hard farm work. Worked on the farm many years as a young man and have full respect for all you guys!
I am Maintenance Supervisor at Titan Tire in Bryan, Ohio. We build the really big guys at Bryan. The 1400 and 1250 LSWs. We built the tires that are on the Williams Brother's 747 now.
How much fun was that to have Daddy Cornstar and Mr. Welker telling jokes and puns? 😂😂 That would be a funny video!
Once again you guys are "over the top" Great intro with the Cornstar family. The rubber plant tour was very informative and a great background for the "supply" side of agriculture that most people are unaware of. You guys rock. See you soon. Old retired Trucker that grew up on a farm in Washington State.
The man gave an amazing tour. Thank you for the tour factory.
Ive given that tour about a gazillion times. Never gets old. I’ve spent the last 25 years in that plant.
Something looks familiar...
Lol
GREAT ACTING COLE
No codes for sunglasses or boots here
Iowa Love!
I wish I'd known you were passing through Bakersfield yesterday. I would have bought lunch for the whole bunch of ya just to get a picture with you and Nave'. Keep up the great content.
My two favorite CZcams farmer's in one video and in my favorite state,...Iowa. What more could a guy ask for?
Many farmers have a second job unless you have a large number of livestock. My stepfather, grandfather & grandmother all worked at the Goodyear tire plant producing truck tires & earth-mover tires. Grandma ran 1 of 10 tires thru and X-ray machine looking for defects, placement, thickness, etc. My stepfather moved tires with a forklift. My step grandfather built the inflatable center part that steam pushes the the tire into the mold, while steam was circulated around the outside. A chain hoist lifted the upper mold half automatically after a temperature was reached and held for a period of time. It changes will all variables for size, compounds, etc. I had been thru the plant on open house on 4-5 times.
Gloves used at different stages would gather green rubber and once the gloves where to hard to use, they where normally thrown away. Famers would use these gloves to string barbwire to build a fence. They worked great for that. Great video!
It feels like harvest 2019 was just like two months ago. Crazy how fast time flies when you're having fun.
There's something strangely satisfying about the smell of fresh rubber tires. I love going tire shopping! ;-)
Oh man that smell was rich at that place! Loved it too 😁
I get aroused by the smell of rubber tires. Love big tires like truck tires or tractor tires.
Thanks for the tour Titan Tire and the Welker’s. Awesome!!! Hope there is another tire mounting video coming soon
that what it all all about Scott , delivering to the public at a fair price
That was a blast to my past! I actually worked in that factory in Des Moines, on 2nd Ave. back in the early 80s for 2 years and there I met a foreman for the Premier Heavy Equipment Company, McAninch and that began my transformation from a tire builder, to a Heavy Equipment (CAT) Operator. Nice pay raise - MUCH better working conditions (Heated and AC cabs, stereo, etc lol) and much better scenery with different road construction jobsites all around Central Iowa. Retired in 2006 and enjoying these videos, gardening and doing a LOT of fishing! :-)
I may not know what the tire guy is talking about, but I am drawn to somebody who is truly passionate about what they do.
Not even 2 minutes in, Bob already delivers a devistating one-liner! Love it!
It was used to be a mystery for me where those little rubber things on the tires are used for, thank you for explanation Nick. Good luck with the harvest, go for it!!
I always thought that they were made specifically so that you can determine if the tire has been used before
I understand why, they had to approve the video, before you showing it. Enjoy watching you, even learn something to boot. Thank all of you !
What a PRIVILEGE!!! I would love to tour a factory like that. It always gives me a new found respect for how things are made. So cool. Thanks Titan Tire for giving us a sneaky peeky.
I graduated from the state school science as it was called at that time in Wahpeton North Dakota 1971 in Auto-Mec. We took a road trip tour to Minneapolis of the Grant Battery Factory. They manufactured batteries for many different companies they just changed the specifications and dimensions to whatever the different companies required. Thanks for the tour of the tire manufacturing industry very interesting. I knew they formed and vulcanize the tread with heat at the end but I was curious about those little pieces sticking out also. We both received an education.
Scott at Titan tires for sure loves his job. Thanks for the tour.🇺🇸🇺🇸
Two of the greatest families together! Love it! If all men had their integrity, the world would be running smoothly. This is the second time you've been in my home state this year, very cool !
Thank you so very much for showing us how the tractor tires are made 🚜
Hey guys. I'm from Findlay Ohio. And I worked at Cooper tire and rubber for 37 years so everything you showed in this video . I did all of them jobs over the years . But we only built truck light truck and passenger tires. We didn't do farm tires.
Not sure why I enjoy you-tubers getting together so much but nice work...to awesome families and channels
They keep north america rolling 🙏🙏🙏💕
Definitely seeing the manufacturing process gives you an appreciation for it. I work in the oil industry and every time I go to fill my car with gas I think about what it takes to get that oil out of the ground, convert it to gasoline and in my car's tank. Just to construct an oil well is a huge undertaking. You have to drill the well, case and cement it, perforate it with explosive charges, run a lower completion, do whatever well treatments are required (fracking is the most well know one), run an upper completion, Install a christmas tree, tanks or pipeline. It hasn;t even gone to a refinery at this point. It is just incredible how much work goes into these things.
Thanks for taking us on the tour with you!!!
Great video, Welkers. Glad to see you cavorting with the Cornstars, that looked fun. The Tire Tour was interesting. Amazing how they can turn raw material into tires.
Such Tyres makes not only Riding Smooth.. but also improves safety 👍
Yep, Different Tyres, Different Sizes.. different Machines, different Usages 🙏
What a fantastic video. I had no idea how tyres were made. Especially the little nodules on new tyres.
Recently started a job as a tire builder. The process is quite involved - but it's interesting and definitely not boring.
So cool that the CZcamsrs take the time for others when you are in their area. Titan plant tour was so cool. Yhanks guys.
Walker Farms is awesome they set the bar high Supporting other farmers CZcams, love you guys
I noticed that most of these "farm" channels honor God. I think that is a big reason that American agriculture is so successful overall. Thank you for all you do!
Great video showing how tires are made.
Thank you for featuring the Cornstars on this channel!
Would rather watch the Welkers 7 days a week and twice on Sunday than watch coles channel. His channel is just infomercials and reminders.
Your videos are some of the best on the web. The video quality is great, and the commentaries are very interesting, informative, noncritical, and not full of profane language like some out there. They show the wins, losses and ties in farming. I know because I was a dryland farmer until 2009. Kudos to you, and keep em coming!
Love factory tours like that. It helps to understand what it takes to manufacture the things we buy for sure.
Thank you for this. I worked in a cable factory for 25 years, making rubber and plastic cables. The rubber/ butyl processing is the same. Calendars and mills. Strips and extruders.
I never realised that was the longest intro ever haha
I also noticed the factory is green and yellow. INTERESTING ;)
Thank you for showing the tire making process. Very interesting.
Welkers thanks for all your hard work in growing our food and thank you for also supporting other American company we need more of them
Really interesting i never knew that’s how tires were made thanks for the tour GOD bless
The ultimate hybrid, Legarms with a poodle mullet.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Poodle mullet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scott from Titan appears very passionate about the manufacturing process! Love plant tours, great work!!👍🎬 t🇺🇸
Thanks! It never gets old.
@@scottsloan5055 👍
Scott Sloan Sweet! ! I’m in Cedar Falls, got to love Iowa!
Sharon k UNI FIGHT!!
Now that was amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Bob!! and his quips!!! He is one funny guy. I would hate to think that he does not miss a few opportunities. Best.
This makes me so happy! I would LOVE to see these guys as neighbors, that would be so neat!
Nick man you guys are so awesome!! Keep up the great videos!!!!
I love watching Cole the Cornstar!! Think that's how I came to watching you guys
Thanks for making tires for the old Ford's titan
Love my Titans on my 40 hp tractor. Glad to know they are made here!!
Love a great field trip.......even though I was not in a field
Wow thanks for the tour so cool watching how tires are made
Very informative about the Titan/Goodyear connection. Thanks for another great video.
I will buy the beer if you take me on your next field trip.....that plant tour looked awesome. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed, successful and safe harvest this season!
Installing a tractor-tire (rear), on a New Holland T8 with your only teammate being a...ten-year-old? The majority would say, "Impossible!" After four hours, and using a circular saw to get the old tire-off, we succeeded. The kid, had a blast lighting (fire beading) the tire to pop on the rim. Thank-God we have to do this only once-a-year. Now the other three tires. Phew! I need a beer.
Nice to see tires being built in America even if materials are sourced elsewhere. Hopefully more factories will move production back to USA.
I drive truck for a tire manufacturer, we make tires from little hand carts to big mining tires,our biggest customer is Mickey Thompson
Very educational on how they build a tire from scratch ..... 6 Thumbs Up 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love seeing the farmtubers collaborate!
YOU WERE IN DES MOINES!!!!!! I only live 30 miles away, I wish you guys had done a meet and greet while you were here. Maybe next time
The Big Bud is going to be happy its gots some new shoes! Awesome video, thank you for bringing us along
Hey Nick, Mike From Michigan, That's Awesome That You All U-Tubers Get Together I'm Subscribed to both you and Cole's Channel you guys are Awesome
Enjoyed that video thanks all from Welker Farms.
I make tires for a living we make tires from start to finish pretty neat how tires are made I work for Hankook plant in TN
Same here, I make Passenger and Light Truck tires at Continental in IL.
New shoes for one the Big Bud.
Enjoyed the tire making plant thank you.
Have a great day God Bless.
@hey man i get around a lot lol.
How you doing.
@hey man doing good staying out of trouble, of course it depends on who you ask lol.
I love how you all promote each other.
I always enjoy seeing older factories like that. My mind always wonders what it looks like 50 years ago.
That was a very interesting video, Nick. I really enjoy following your family’s farm adventure. Keep up the great content. Good luck for harvest.
Awesome video very interesting i learned lots, love the inter action of welkers and cornstars love you guys both thank you for such an amazing video 👍🙏🙏🙏💕😎
I worked for good year for 25 years inToronto Canada , started in 1964 on earth tires. And trunks tries.
Well done and exciting to watch...thanks!
I do maintenence in a consumer passenger and light truck tire factory. That process yall saw is the exact same for regular car or truck tires only on a much larger scale. We have the capability to produce around 63,000 tires every 24 hours when we are really rolling.
Fascinating tour to be certain. Always enjoy seeing the inner workings of stuff like this.
Pretty interesting !! Love the cornstars as well as your family !!
I'll Say the same lol😂🤣
So cool. Thanks for doing the tour and video!
Were you in Quincy for the factory tour? I am a pastor in that town and Titan is a huge part of our community! Love your focus on faith, family and farming!
Great video 🚜
I've learned something new today. If you don't learn at least one thing new every day then you're falling behind!
Excellent! Two of my favorite channels. Belated welcome to Iowa!! Hope you enjoyed your visit.
I love titan. My massey came with them and I replaced the front with same. I think my kids have their atv tires.
Very interesting thanks for taking us alongside you!!
10:46 shoutout to those the electricians for those two good looking conduit racks!
We have TITAN TIRE in our back yard in Bryan, Ohio. Those employees work hard !
My tractor has titan tires. They have had a hard life but are still hanging in there. Thinking about switching from ag tires to industrial.
I've spent time in the Bryan, Ohio Titan Tire plant. This is like a mirror image. This stuff is amazing to watch!
Brings back memories-spent 36 years at Goodyear-Topeka plant building components for earthmover, radial truck tires but in 36 years never built a tire
Except for the first minutes with the bat, this was the coolest video!
Awesome video!
Great video!
