There are some manual bead breakers that do a decent job, and the tire shops will use an air over hydraulic bead breaker.

Getting an OLD gray hard tire off is a really difficult task. Its worth the price of admission to watch a tire shop do it. I've had four done and I won't try them myself. Broken fingers take too much pleasure of other things I use them for.

Its nearly always easier to handle the tire while the rim is on the tractor than with the rim on the ground. Partly that's because the tire can weigh more than 100 pounds and most of us haven't the muscle to pick up one side or the rim either to separate them.
