One of my customers just down the street from our dealership does tire repairs, all shapes and sizes, truck, tractor or whatever.
One of his farm customers had an older tractor with old tires that were cracking up. One of them let go in the sidewall to the point that the tube was pushing out. He wanted to find a way to get the tractor to the shop so they could remove and replace it for him.....

AMAZING!!! LOL I have seen a farmer take the tire off, and drill hole and lace them up with rawhide.. I have had a customer with a broken valve stem, jam a piece of wood in valve hole to get to town AND the best a Farmer brings in his 15.5-38 rear tractor tire in trunk of 65 Ford Custom!! He took off trunk lid, and lowered it in with loader.. THE TIRE WAS LOADED WITH CALCIUM It went through the floor lol We pumped out the fluid and pulled the tire out fixed it put wood in trunk area and lowered it back in 35 years that was the funniest THANKS
A farmer's two best friends ... fence wire and bail twine.
I've seen the two employed in buckshee repairs to continue the hay, straw, corn, or wheat harvest until a better repair could be made. I've seen fence wire used to repair a tow tongue on a hay wagon or bail twine to repair the racks on a hay wagon many times!
