Any tips/tricks for handling ~1,000 lb loaded tires and rims ?
At about 400 lbs empty mine were about as much as I could bully around bare handed, now that they weigh about as much as a horse I feel a need to treat their mass with appropriate respect. I have an el cheapo engine crane and was thinking of trying to use/adapt that. I think it will take more than a short length of chain or a fabric sling.
The reason I want/need to get the wheels off is to put turfs on.
I could do one side at a time and use the FEL to move each wheel around once it is off and the turf wheel is on.
