Tires Rear tire flat- lost ballast

[VictorW]

Did you ever see an OP move a dedicated loader/bh machine with the bh. I have occasionally moved my CK30hst that way but do it very gently and slowly as it's not really made for this. Also got myself out when a back tire sunk in a hole. You don't want any more pressure on the bh frame and tractor than is needed. Lower your front fel bucket to just above the ground to help with tipping sideways. Drop your boom some with the dipper about verticle and the bucket curled in for a flat bottom cut. You can use the teeth if it slips to much. Lower boom until bucket contacts the ground and then lift tractor slightly to get the bh frame just off the ground. Use the dipper to move forward while lowering the boom to keep contact with the ground. Move about a foot or two and reset again to get the distance you need. You don't want your boom way low or the dipper extended out far. You can use the swing to move the rear of the tractor right or left if needed but go easy on the control. My swing control handle is pretty touchy.

Think about it..... You have a backhoe on this tractor..... The BH boom should easily lift the side the flat is on. Put the tractor in neutral, using the BH, lift the tractor and push it forward until you can lower the stabilizer.

I'm guessing you have a leaking tire and when it got low enough it popped off the rim as George said. Get it seated on the rim and aired up, then find the leak and plug it. Then address the issue of replacing the ballast. Not sure why you need ballast with a BH on the tractor though...

I'd try to put the boom down enough to lift the offending tire slightly then creep forward with the other 3 tires providing propulsion.
Take it easy. And due to the OP's geographic location I'd recommend a tire shop.

I've "reinstalled" a tire with a "broken bead" but that was in the heat of the summer when the tire was "soft".

Not at 24° F.

Yeah, getting the tire back on the rim might require an expert. Moving the tractor is easily accomplished. I suggested using the hoe to move because I didn't figure he could run the hoe controls and the HST pedal at the same time.

I would plan on a lot of switching seats to move a few feet without damaging the flat tire. At his temps the tire may be flat on the bottom but rotate when he puts it in gear.

I noticed my rear tire on my 35CK hydro was flat and all my ballast leaked out. It seems like the bead broke. I haven't taken the tire off yet. I left my backhoe on the tractor for more weight for winter, my question is should I leave the backhoe on or did that actually cause the tire problem? I have seen many guys leave the backhoe on with no problems. When I do park the tractor, I have to swing the backhoe over to the left to get it in the spot I use to park it, the same side as the bad tire. I think the tire had some kind of molasses in it, not positive. My dealer closed up and the closest one to me is a long way from where I live. Any thoughts?

I have a quick attach hoe that I had not removed in 30 years, until I painted it last year.
For the past 25 years when the tractor is stored, the hoe is set off to the right side.
Never have had any tire issues.
My hoe weighs 2500+ lbs. so I have never felt the need to add any tire ballast.

I change out implements all the time, the backhoe stays on in winter. Bad timing for this, we're getting hammered with snow. I'll try to move the tractor with hoe, it's going to be tricky because I can't swing boom 6" either way. I'm just going to lift it and roll the bucket while tractors in N. Tires still on rim, it's flattened out and leaked ballast.

Sounds like you had beet juice in it, call a farm supply co-op
