Re: Think your job is routine?
i saw an Icelandic video over 10 years ago doing this.
only used it once when our 4wd group were very remote and we couldn't set the bead using our normal methods.

Re: Think your job is routine?
OMG TOO FUNNY Lmao. I just changed a tire on my tractor in the Bush last summer. I drove my 1 ton truck on the tire and still couldn't pop that bead. I also used a sawzall to cut the rubber went smooth till I got to the steel belts at edge of rim,had a bitch of a time,this guy made it look alot easier. Visegrip great idea to keep tire from slipping off
Great vid
By the way I didn't do that crazy reinflation technique

Here's the companion video to this where they're towing that same roller down a semi-icy road and it just kinda 'goes sideways' and starts slipping down a slope and pulling the tractor with it. The system of removal pulleys, on the fly, is admirable. These guys are great!

LOL! These are those buggers, and damn if they don't know a ton of shit. Ah, to sit down with a bottle and listen to their crazy-ass stories would be priceless. The dude riding on the roller being towed woulda got pancaked if it caught an edge and suddenly rolled over.
