If you can weld and have a wrecking bar, piece of pipe the smaller end of bar will slide into and a piece of angle iron to weld on end of pipe.You need to steer it so a piece cif flat stock to put your foot on.

If removing tire on the tractor you will need a person to steer. Have fun.

You might want to add a bead breaker to your tire repair tools. I use the bead breaker to start and then finish with the slid hammer. Ken Tool makes a good slide hammer. If you get a NON-impact rated beak breaker they aren't that expensive. Let Google be your friend.

Bought one from Amazon and it works well. Dont recall the brand, its yellow and weighs 15 pounds or so.

What do you have for a bead breaker? I have a Maddox manual screw type. I prefer a Ken-Tool bead breaking Tool Driving Iron (with a short handled 6-8 lb. hammer) for many applications. I find it easier to use in many places than a heavier slide hammer type. I use it to start a place to put my bead breaker, if I can't get it locked on without starting the bead down.

For years I used a bead axe and thought that's all I needed. I had (and still have... somewhere...) a Ken-Tool slide hammer, and it was good, but not something I felt I needed as long as I was good with the bead axe. It was fairly light and had a spring in the handle to reduce shock on the hands. Which it did, but you also sacrifice some of the impact shock on the tire with the spring.

Later I welded up my own heavier slide hammer up from a piece of sched pipe, piece of 1-15/16" shaft, and a tapered blade from 5/8" material with a taper on the end. It weighs like holy-heck, but it sure works well and breaks 90% of those decades-old beads fairly quickly. And then I thought that's all I ever needed and couldn't believe I went for so long without it.

Most recently I had a pair of skidder tires that were stuck with bead sealer stupidly thoroughly. I ended up buying a pair of cheapo screw-on bead-breakers from Vevor to add some additional pressure while I used the slide hammer and bead axe.You can tell they're not superb quality and probably aren't something that'll last for 50 years, but for only $70 a piece they're fantastic and I didn't even need the slide hammer or axe (I did need to buy two of them to work together though). And I can't believe I went so long without them.

Long and short of all that: If I were starting again now, I'd go straight to a pair of simple, cheap screw-on bead-breakers.

FEL bucket, down pressure works if you don't want to save the tire.

I did the same. I am contemplating getting one of the newer battery powered hydraulic pumps since I also have Port-A-Power cylinders and pullers, so that makes it a bit more justifiable.

The Enerpac, Milwaukee, and Greenlee versions are at or above $6K, but the Rain Forest types are closer to $600.

I and many others use a back hoe. you put the stabilizer down on one side of the tire then the teeth right at the bead. looking down on it from so close you can easily push exactly where you want, and get in between the rim and bead.
