16.9x28 tires are a pain in the a*s

have any of you dealed with getting those 16.9x28 tires off. the first 1 i ever did a couple years ago i couldnt get off so i chainsawed. today i got the other 1 off the backhoe. spent 2 hrs trying to get it off. chanied the the tire to the bachhoe and chained rim to skid steer. couldnt do it. i never want to deal with that again. getting them on aint so bad but it still aint a walk through the park.
 
Never really had a problem with the proper tools. A good air bead breaker makes it easier though. Only tire that fought me were a set of 16.9-30 on my skidder. They were 20 ply though.
 
if you do not know what your doing ya they can be a little hard. LOTS of tire lube and the right tools {long tire irons] and they are not hard at all. like Timberjack said a 20 ply will make ya sweat a little
 
well around here we do things the hard and complicated way. we use skid steers and chainsaws to get tires off if the tire irons and sludge hammers dont work but today both combined took forever. all we use for lube is old oil wich works real well especially for seeting beads or soap and water.
 
I bought one of those bead cheata things,it works well on old dry tires,pops them right off.
 
no. i have a double bevel 20.8x38 rim case orange. i also have 2 18.4x34 poweradjust rims ford gray with tires on a ford 8000. thats all i have and the the 16.9x28 tire that i took off.
 
We have a little manual bead breaker, don't work to bad. My neighbor pours gasoline on the bead, then uses his backhoe to break the bead, works really fast. He can get the inside too. Be careful, you need to be a good operator. Vic
 
just put 2 new ones on the Fordson, real easy, took them to the tyre store.
Think the old ones may have been on for 20 years plus.
