Changing Tires - on my own? 👌

[@WelkerFarms]

Always love me a good old in-out cab shuffle! Climb up, climb down, climb up, and climb down!

[@nucleargaming6997]

I know exactly how that feels

[@markrskinner]

Been there many times. :/

@@pseggons9512 I was thinking, maybe electric drive could help bring cabins lower (with hub motors)

[@kopenhagenkid]

Good luck seeding and spraying and seedling your crops at your north farm Mike

[@dennislamers986]

That tire thing-a-ma-jigger is quite the machine. One trip to the E.R. makes that machine worth it. Safety isn't cheap but it beats a lifetime of pain or death.

[@ras4230]

To line it up with the jack just drop some blocks on the ground about 8 to 10 inches from the center line of the jack and back up until you hit them then check the alignment. Note how far you are off that time and you can adjust where you drop the blocks accordingly next time.

[@jimpolk]

That jack is impressive

[@m.webber5118]

Next thing we’ll see, Mike will be a mechanic soon! 😊😮 Thanks Mike, be safe.

Great video Mike

[@masterwoolner8191]

Hi Mike hope you and the family are well hope you are having a nice day thanks for all the great videos. Hope the harvest season brings alot of money to you. Keep up the great work and you have teached me alot of things to run a farm

[@gavinperry7237]

That certainly is a nice HD Cordless Impact. Hopefully you remember to have the batteries charged in advance 😂🤣

[@CornhuskerCowboy.]

Holy crap Mikey !.B safe and try not to work to hard

[@petermolnar8667]

If it has 2 batteries, always replace both. (My father used to sell them, lots of complaints were caused by only 1 replaced battery if there were 2). The better old one can still live on in single-battery usage.

[@puirYorick]

Truth. The stronger new batter will be perpetually trickling off charge to support the weaker one and you end up with degraded life cycles for the set. Even true for flashlights that use two or more C or D cells. Does anyone remember those?

[@jean-jacquesmalherbe2858]

Hey Mike! Why don’t you try and mark the ground with something next to the jack so you can see where to stop from the cabin? 😅

[@Budd56]

14:27 i checked you got the right one 😊

[@ford8630power]

You'd expect some better quality hoses on half a million machine, those 1 plyers blow in no time

[@Mak67]

Makes my wooden block and 10T bottle jack under each wheel seem a bit... ancient :P very impressive.

[@BruceBergman]

If the batteries are cracked it's the time to replace them all. And wash out tray with baking soda and water for neutralizing the leaked acid and brush & Paint the trays. Disconnected batteries helps but isn't the best solution.

[@mattwerkowitch4500]

You think we can’t see those new tires on that drill, Mike?? Let’s see the reveal!

[@johnc8112]

Another great video Mike, don't forget the Bottom bolt First

[@davidkimmel4216]

Like the jack. Looks very safe

[@halwilliams1682]

That is one of those "I wish I had thought of that" machines.

[@petermolnar8667]

Swapping wheels-there is a 64.5 mm difference in radius, if anyone’s wondering

[@ytfan3815]

Mike, don't you have a Bluetooth/WiFi camera or an old cell-phone with camera that you can put on top of the jack. You can catch the image on your own cellphone or inboard camera when they are ( approximately ) aligned.

[@alexmikhael5061]

...pvc tube 15:30 ...would a PVC TUBE onthe hub stickin out HELP WITH ALIGNEMENT ?????? do they make a cardboard tube that size??? eh... just a thought... maybe even a tile section to help alignment... just... yea... *I* think that MAY HELP when solo alignment is necessary...

[@puirYorick]

When you're backing up the sprayer you could've just placed both gray inserts off to your driver's side as location flags to align with the jack stand. That should eliminate a couple uppie-downie cycles for you.

[@dennisdennis5921]

You really got to try a horsch sprayer some day. One of the few good things that we in the eu produce

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Nice job on the tire

[@stephenboynton1445]

I know you’re short on time, but maybe look for a Camera and Stream to your phone and have that on top of the Jackson you can see it as you drive over

[@mickaelbissec7178]

Efficiency at it’s finest Mike !

[@waynecain68]

I add my 2 cents with everyone’s comment, buy a WiFi camera off Amazon. Rechargeable battery. Magnetic base. Download app onto phone. No wires. Stick it to bottom of spray, watch phone screen for video. I use one for super B grain. No guess work lining up over pits. Back up camera also. Good luck.

[@geoffreyfox60]

We had a jacket like that in the mines it is called a 40 tone forklift❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

[@MrTonyharrell]

I just thought of a new and useful invention. The portable proximity sensor reporting via bluetooth. Every time you go to hook something up it would only take one man and it would be perfect every time. I’m picturing a dot fitting into a bubble? Make it portable because even if equipment comes with it in the future, not everything will hence the portable in the name. I would work on it but I’m 65 and terribly lazy now. 😂

[@jazko]

Well it surely is better to have someone help you line up the jack, but I sometimes prefer to work alone.

[@robertfranssen]

Mike i have a question; why dont u use the same system as your seed loading in the drill . Use a board or a stick so u know where the jack is

[@mikemitchell2554]

That is a great idea!! After doing this a half a dozen times I like to think I would have figured out a better way to line up. 😆🤷🏼‍♂️ But to be fair, it's only my second time and first time on my own. 👍

[@lsfamer2011]

I really see a Horsch Leeb sprayer at your Farm!

[@Muffin_Masher]

A bluetooth camera on that jack would be handy, just need to wire up an accessory socket to the battery :P then if you wanted to get real fancy, a little laser pointer with a magnet :D

[@bobwest2807]

Hi Mike. Does your family mind that you have moved to the North farm before finishing the south farm?

[@alexmikhael5061]

does that SPRAYER HAVE ISO CAMERAS on the wifi or wutever for the ''whole unit'' ???? can you get another camera to add to the CAMERA PACKAGE for undercarrage viewing or remove the rear camera and plug into a cord down there underside to use the camera to show you the alignment of the jack underneath.... ???

[@crandonborth]

They do have options for under cameras but I’m not sure that’s a Case option. I think a simpler way just put something on the ground to the tire so you know where to line the sprayer tire up to the jack instead of just guessing.

[@aussiefarmerboy245]

I freaking love your videos

[@nickyoconnor2316]

Still testing all the colours except for blue

[@kentmathieson1342]

Mike changes tires by himself, well by himself and $100,000. worth of equipment!

[@Doubie.]

Yep on a machine worth more than that while moving sets of tires that weight more than your car what’s your point your not going to change those tires by yourself by hand period I don’t care if your secretly Brian Shaw it’s not happening

[@ras4230]

@@Doubie. I doubt the tires weigh that much, I doubt they run fluid in them to avoid compaction.

[@BruceBergman]

If the batteries aren't fully charged, they will freeze, and rupture the Case and require replacement. The disconnect is Not the solution. A trickle charger and a battery heater in freezing weather.

man that JACK SYSTEM IS PRETTY FREEKING AWESOME DUDE!!!! not that you SHOULD BE DOING THAT STUFF ALONE but TO BE ABLE TO DO IT SOLO WHEN THE NEED IS NEEDED!!!!! FLIPPIN PRICELESS ACTUALLY !!! :) needs the WIFI CAMERA thing APP for the FONE to tie to a ''bluetooth camera'' cheep little tubecamera would suffice, on a magnet... OR EVEN A BRACKET on the jack that points the wide angle camera DIRECTLY UP for alignement.... puts a black line thru the JACK UP POINTS on the app...

Mike, i have a question, why dont you use 900 wide tires as floats? Heck, why not 1050?

[@crandonborth]

Hits the fenders.

[@francisabraham8546]

Hi When do you use skinnies and when do you use floaters ?

[@lynwessel2471]

Floaters in the spring when the ground is wetter and soft, and skinnies when spraying in -crop so you run over less plants.

But what would John Wayne do 😂🎉😢😮😅😊

[@mikeznel6048]

My my how the mighty have fallen lol. Just kidding.

[@andrewwindsor5962]

Why don’t you paint a little mark on the rim nonhub so when you can line up, you know where you are

[@jazzerbyte]

Another old farmer trick when you have to position something by yourself: place your smartphone in remote camera mode under the machine and use the preview on your SmartWatch to monitor the position. :-)

[@crandonborth]

I agree… but I feel that’s not an “Old Farmer trick” I don’t think the old timers where looking on their smartphone and watches to see if the horse buggy was lined up straight to hook it on. 😂😆👍

Spring time ground is softer...no crop to damage...can use wide tires....fall spraying for in crop you want the skinny tires to do less damage to the crop

[@paulprigge1209]

Wheels on basically the rims. If you Google it you can understand it easier. Titan international which is located across the creek for me Mississippi main headquarters make wheels for most off-road stuff Quincy Illinois . Mississippi is a river I just called it creek.

Ones from North America (Tire) ones European (Tyre). 😂
