Tire service with Harbor Freight bead breaker. Afternoon project for a client.

Can’t you just break the bead with the bucket of the skid steer? I break bead all the time with my case 580 out riggers.

I sure could, but. These tires are from 2006 with a calcium load the whole time. The calcium gets into the steel wire in the bead and greatly weakens it. And this is a turf tire so its not only weather checked its really thin. So all that means way to much risk on my side. If it were my tires maybe. If I were replacing the tires probably. I had to be super careful not to ruin the tire. And those tires still had 30 gallons in them. If it squirted on me that would have really sucked. The calcium was super concentrated and burned like the dikens.This client was also shal we say particular. I know if I messed up he would make me pay dearly.
