That was my plan. I have some ironwood planks that'll do the trick well.
Removing a tire and crawling under something aren’t even close to the same. You’re probably endangering yourself more to place the jack stand vs just pulling off the tire. I’d lift up the tractor with the loader and pull the lug nuts with my battery impact and then put a 6x6 under it and let it back down. I’ve done exactly that a few times. I’ve removed rear tires by lifting it with a backhoe stabilizer too. Now anything I’m crawling under gets proper support. Either wood blocks or beefy jack stands. I won’t use dinky jack stands or the drive on ramps.
We talk of torque wrenches, and I have about 3 and all calibrated as well.
Whenever I carefully torque to specs, Heads, rims etc) I always seem to get that feeling that I just stripped the threads.
Consequently I now simply leave them in my tool box.
