TIA Brings Back Ag Tire Training

For the first time since 2019, the Tire Industry Association (TIA) is offering a training class for ag tire service technicians.

TIA’s Advanced 200-Level Farm Tire Service (FTS) hands-on class will take place June 20-23 at Stellar Industries Inc. in Garner, Iowa.

This four-day course features one day of classroom work followed by three days of comprehensive, hands-on training using a service truck, hydraulic tools and a variety of other equipment.

"Along with service truck operation, the class will cover site preparation and equipment lifting; hydraulic tool operation and maintenance; single-piece demount, mount and inflate on machine and off machine; dual demount, mount and inflate; three-piece demount, mount and inflation on machine; and install and remove liquid ballast," say TIA officials.

Students who successfully complete the final exam will receive a certificate of completion. Tuition is $595.
