Faunsdale, AL | I don’t have a backhoe anymore, I do similar with the skid steer and pallet forks. Just have to use something else to break the beads. Anyway, having the tire hanging off the suspended rim really helps. Or I usually have the tire suspended on the forks at about an 45* angle from horizontal and the bead in the drop of the rim and then work the rim out of it…….have to watch the toes when it finally drops out!
In a lot of ways it’s easier to do it with the rim still mounted on the machine whenever possible but if it’s out in the field, and especially if I have to take it off to flip rim around anyway, I’ll just take it to the shop and work on it there in front of the fan!
I need a cleat or even just a difference in the slabs of concrete in my shop floor that would keep the rim from sliding away and I think I could push the first side of the new tire on with the bobcat! Sometimes it’s a bit of a pain, but not usually too bad.
