That's basically where I'm at. Just a couple of tires now and then lawnmower tires now and then (damn Honey Locust spikes.) Most stores want $25 per tire to change. Ridiculous for just a pair of small trailer tires. So if you didn't use a machine, how did you do it for your trailer?

nice foto trik, JM... guess i will have to toss my Echo up on my pile from today...
but, sorry will be 4-color lol
i think H-R prob is the winner in fullest wheelbarrow loads on a single front tire...omg! ~
but, am thinking if i was walking in his boots... a double wheel 10 cu ft barrow would be my ideal... given a wb is my preferred prime mover...
hi tm - ur description is enough for me! glad to hear you healed up ok
OK! them dogs should be able to bark at the bark!!
hate loosing nuts or bolts! did a DIY homerepair nite before... small allen set screws... the kind u dont want t loose.... iukwim!
and that is saying somethin'!!I'm speechless....
See post # 71,496
once you get the hang of it, it will go pretty ez. plenty small mom/pop TexMex tire repair/resale used tires, etc shops down there bust tires manually.....
videos like that are always amazing and quite entertaining... sorta seeing is believing. but pays to have some exp!!!
tractor tire rimmed right on up... and then the house rimmed on down!
beats a skinned knuckle or a pinched finger... they can hurt!!
but some like spoons....
I agree, and his stacking skills are top notch. A delicate balance between form and function is achieved with each load.

I got a text over the weekend from a buddy saying his neighbor had a locust tree cut down and the wood was sitting in his yard free for the taking. I borrowed a skid steer and a dump truck from another buddy that I do work for on the side. The grain elevator scale near my house said I had just over 7000 pounds of wood. The two largest parts of the trunk are still there. They would need cut up some more for me to be able to load them.

I could break an anvil with a feather duster!
Oh yeah! I keep waiting too hear em howling outside.
Yeah, imagine how fast you could split wood like that… if it wasn’t so expensive i might save a little and buy one.nice! i see that... 4 at a time!!
Morning guys. We survived the storm. I know there was some ice damage elsewhere but around here just wet snow. I need to go into work and I also need to clean the house and trying to decide which one I want to do first lol. Work is easier lol
Still do most of my tires by hand . I break the bead with the electric Jack on my trailer . These are the easiest and no it's not a widow maker . It's a split ring as apposed to a split rim
