real wide rims?

I don't know. They are the r4 tires that came with the machine. Tire size is 15-19.5. Is that wide?

Not really that is the exact same tire size on my Kubota L3400HST.. I have run out of ideas why they debead so quick.. I had no trouble. I left a little air in and started pumping with a piece of junk drill pump.. I feel really bad about leading you down frustration road.

James. It's all your fault. Hahaha. Don't worry about it. I would be lost without all of you guys. In the new year I will get tubes.

not particularly wide rim and small tire. sometimes a narrow tire and wide rim will have a hard time holding a bead.

your rim is probably REAL smooth, and the tire bead is too.. that and the angle of the seat al together is giving you the fit..

ps.. don't sweat the tires. after you mess with these machines enough it will be 2nd nature.

I do all my own tire work so far. keep saying I'm gonna stop.. just havn't gotten around to stopping yet.

who knows.. maybee when one of the tires on the 70 or 95 hp machine goes.. I might stop then..

Yo pumpkin dude.... have you considered hiring someone who has actually successfully loaded tractor tires before?
Just saying it might turn this frustration into a job completed.
Then next time when your injection pump timing needs adjusting you could break out the spanners and a suitable drift and go nutz?!:thumbsup::confused2:

I never considered hiring someone to do a job that even a caveman could do. Or so I thought.
Injection pump...... Wouldn't give it a second thought. I'd hire a professional in a heartbeat.

did you try goint at it REAL slow. Say start at 35 PSI. Let out 3 lbs. Add a little fluid. Repressurize to 35. Let out. Add. etc.

I've never really done it, but sure seems like this would work. If the tire looses bead after just a few pounds, you are sure to break a bead some day when pressure drops from nature causes. I'd sure then be looking to do tubes.

That would be impossible to do with the equipment I have.
When you unscrew the valve stem to put the adapter on you loose 90% of the air. Then the rest of the air fights against the pressure of my pump and actually comes out the pump until he pump pressure is greater. Then fluid pours into the tire but at that point there is only a couple pounds of air left in the tire.

Where are you located? Can you get your dealer to come out and pick up your tires or have them fill them with their machine at your place?
There's got to be a simple, read caveman, type solution to this problem.
You might be able to get a truck tire place to do it if dealer is too far....
