Tire dealers don't like putting new tires on that you bought somewhere else- just like mechanics putting on parts you didn't buy from them (cause the were too expensive from him). Several ways to break beads- usually the toughest part of the job. Leave the wheel on the tractor,if you don't have a slide hammer (I don't, never needed one, but they work)- use another vehicle, helper, hold a 4x4 timber against the bead, and push--several spots around the tire. Should break loose. I never needed a hammer or helper because I always had a loader tractor or skid loader to push with the bucket edge. Drop center rims are called that for a reason- you need to push the bead to the drop part of the rim to get the rest of the tire to curl off the rim, using a couple of spoons. Simply a matter of relative diameters. After doing a set or two, you'll see why most of us hire the job done, by people that spent the money for the trucks and tools. I've changed a bunch, but usually prefer to deal with locals for the purchase and mounting. That way I also see the product when delivered, and if it is not what I expected, it gets settled then and there.
