I needed to remove the inner tube on my JD4020 and I did not think I would be able to break the bead. I have never worked on any kind of tire, much less a big tractor tire. I hooked this up to the rim and in 30 seconds the bead was broken. Wow, I never thought it could be so easy. I also bought two tire spoons and in another 30 minutes I had the tire off the rim. Hopefully it was not beginner's luck, but I will find out soon enough. I am a pro at popping tires on this tractor! It is a big expense up front, but I didn't have to pay big bucks to have someone come put to the farm to fix my tire.
In my younger days I have repaired tires on tractor trailers big construction equipment you name it , we never had anything like this, it was all hammers and bars and a lot of murphy's soap It is a bit heavy but that's me I'm sure, This thing is great in every way, its well made and if put in place properly it will do its job fine. I love it and wish I had it years ago, I recommend this item highly.
