Tires What's The Best Way to Jack Up A Kioti?

Curious what it cost for the fill? I have swapped heavy loaded tires from one side to another, but on level concrete all the way. Two guys- just myself may have been dumb and dangerous! Mine had calcium chloride, and I could see the corrosion becoming a real problem. I was told that was SOP when they were filled, years ago before I had the tractor, but I would never use that again. Rim Guard sounds like the ticket.

engine lift / cherry picker = any were from 150 to 300 bucks. have some concrete to work on. and makes for easy lifting of tires out of truck down on ground and then moving into place on tractor. the only main issue is letting tire down and redo the chain / strap / rope so holes align correctly on the bolts sticking out from the tractors.

==============
it costs a bit more up front. but if you have say a 12V electrical sprayer. with say 10 to 30 gallon tank on it. a few fittings can quickly turn the sprayer into a "tire filler" or a way to suck out fluid from a tire.

I'm all for doing things myself and saving money but some things are just better to have someone else do it. My time and safety is important too. I had my tires filled by the local farm tire shop by their mobile service. Left the tractor in the front yard when I went to work. Tech called me when he arrived at the house and filled them. Came home and put it to work.
