Almost lost it!

Yours must top 800lbs I'd imagine. I think mine are 12.8x24 so just a few gallons of beets smaller. I don't have a pickup or easy access to a tire service so I shudder at the thought that I need to get even one of those brutes off island and back again.

I really hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it.....

I recently sold my Jinma 284, which I had used to manipulate my rear tires.

A friend and I rearranged the hubs and swapped them around to establish the widest possible tire width. The two of us struggled to tip them back up to vertical, but fortunately the effort was uneventful. The wide footprint added notable stability, especially with the backhoe mounted.

In my future garage, I will have a chain hoist!

I was wrong, the tires on my DK40se are 14.9-24 R4 so are probably heavier if anything than the same size R1.

Don't get a flat!

Have you figured out if the tire can displace its own weight and yours? You could grab a paddle and row it to the mainland......

Good idea. I'll tie some life preservers to it and tow it behind my sailboat.
