Firstly, I"m with Jerry, get someone else to do it. But if you must have all the fun for yourself here are a few pointers.
It will be eaiser to leave the rim on the tractor but make sure any water is removed and there is no way it can fall off the jack [safty stands are highly recommended]. The sliding hammer type bead breaker is pretty useless in this situation, you are better off using an air operated one or the type you hammer in then turn a nut to spread the fingers. I have sometimes had to cut tyres off rims with a 9 inch angle grinder and metal cutting disk but you have to be very carefull of kickback and rim damage. When levering the tyre off the rim, start at the top and work your way around. Same with putting on the new ones: rest the top of the bead on the rim, push on the tyre and hit it on bit by bit with a big hammer. It would be good if you had someone to help you; I"d do it but you would have to pay my airfare. Good luck with it Mike.
