Tractor tyre puncture- Instant fix technology

On day 1 of Tour Of Nilgiris, we were waiting at a Support station on the way to Mysore. The place was called Nidagatta. (A support station is where riders can have some refreshments, take rest, repair their cycles if required and then proceed)

We heard a big sound. A tractor's front left tyre had burst. The driver brought the tractor to a halt. On the road itself. We were expecting him to pullover and call for help, but he had other plans.
 A closer look at the tyre revealed its pathetic state and it bursting was very natural.
 The driver and his assistant took out some wooden planks, placed it tactically around the axle that connects the front two wheels and before we realize, they were on the move.
 They continued their journey on 3 (+2) wheels with the punctured wheel lifted up in air. All these happened within minutes.
 Creative minds and local innovation
