I once was in the tire business for 20 years. I"ve noticed that if you lube a tire and rim good enough (my favorite is silicon spray) the tires will practically jump on and off the rim by themselves.
 
After watching that I bet I can weld one up on a rainy day. Good thick flat stock and a 4 foot piece of all-thread with some grade 8 nuts welded at the top and bottom of the tube. I wouldn't need it that "tall" as I don't do anything thicker than a standard tractor tire width.

I just bought some more welding rod today. Wonder if it will rain tomorrow?

If I do one I will post pics.
 
I use the outriggers on my Backhoe to break the bead. Always think I need some curved adapter to slip on the outrigger, but it has never failed me.

That tool looks sweet!
 
I am pretty sure I could dismount all those tires just as fast or faster with my trusty irons and hammer. As far as breaking beads I go with bead breaking hammer, bead cheata tool or loader tractor in that order. Has worked for me on tires from 8"-38"
 
I would be willing to bet that it doesn't work nearly as well on things like 10.00-16.5 skid steer tires... or 19L16.1 flotations tires... Most of what they showed could be popped off with a bar just as fast at a fraction of the cost.

Take a close look at the tires they are breaking the beads on. It looks like they have already got lube on them. So those beads have already been broken, lubed then reseated for the video.

Spend a few bucks on some tire spoons and put the rest toward your tires. The tire that thing had the most trouble with is the one that would be easiest to dismount by hand.
 
They quite clearly stated that they were already lubed... and they wern't breaking any beads; only removing the tire from the wheel.
