Anyone ever use one of those hydraulic bead breakers like i see advertised in farm magazines?
The one i see the most is a bead cheata for $170.
Some commercial jobs are over $400.I've got some
tires to change and that tire rammer thing i got is wearing me out.I could use an air model,but the ones i've seen are over $1000.I see John Deere has one in there flyer to,just wondered if they work.

I think they are great. Certanly the best tool for DIY tyre repair. Just wack them in with a big hammer and screw it down with an air wench. Resistance is useless. Have used the front bucket method once or twice, but what do you do when the backhoe gets a flat?

FWIW: it doesn"t hurt, when you have the tire off, to clean up the bead and bead-holding surfaces on the wheel, so the tire"l slip off easier next time, with less risk of damage...sadder but wiser? voice of experience...

Slickest thing I've ever used on big tires is my Deere 310A backhoe. Lay the tire on the ground and put a tooth or 2 against the sidewall as close to the bead as possable the start pressing down. As the bead starts slipping down stop and reposition one of the teeth in against the rim then push down again. Sometimes a real tough tire needs forced a little with a sledge, but I've done a lot less damage to tire and rim (and back) using this method.

I have had a bead cheata for about 15 years.Bought it at Gemplers.It works great,especially on the newer tractor tires that have a slot in the beaqd to slip the bead breaker down it.I use a 1/2" ratchet and socket to break down the bead. Have used it on all sizes of tires,not just large rear tractor tires.I paid $149 and they are now selling for $169. Funny thing, now that I have it in my tool box,I rarely ever need it.

When I worked in the tire shop we used a bead cheata... (a little one-- first anyone had seen them) and it worked pretty good... I know I wouldnt have got any tire changed with out it... and since I was the musle for the owner (who was having a bleading ulcer at the time) We would have never got those 4 pair of tires changed that week.

Front end loader just outside the rim, apply down pressure with the valve stem out, works every time. Harley
