If you just started using them this year maybe you just need more practice. I have been changing them on the same tractor for almost thirty years, and it can be done in just a few minutes by myself. You run the inside tire up on some blocks, roll the dual up beside the hub, put a bar under a lug to turn the dual to line up the bolt holes, and air wrench it on. I build a little ramp with the blocks so I can get the height where you want it. You should retorque the dual a couple times during the first few hours of operation. I remember when our new 1086 showed up, I wanted to run it so bad I could taste it. I got my chance when it had about 14 hours on it, pulling a V-plow. I looked out the right hand window just in time to see the dual flip up in the air and land beside the tractor, the bolts had worked loose. Real sinking feeling for a young guy, so since then I check them a lot until I am sure they are really locked down.
