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

[Hdoilcan]

i just purchased a new Kioti CK3510 and the dealer uses M1000 to fill the rear tires. I read mixed reviews on M1000 so I decided to not have the rear tires filled by the dealer. I've decided to take them and have them filled with Rimguard from a tire warehouse that Rimguard recommended. I'm wondering where would be a good spot to jack up the rear of the tractor so I can take the tires off. I have 8"x8" wooden blocks also after I have it jacked up. Any information would be appreciated.

You may want to rethink that. The filled weight of that tire will be massive. Rimguars adds 11 pounds per gallon used. On my tractor i think rimguard added 450 pounds per tire.

Not sure how many gallons yours would hold.

X2 Not sure how you would get the tires back on.

Don't try it. The tire alone, without the RIMGUARD will weigh way too much for you to handle it. This is why field trucks are used to change tractor tires. It's way too dangerous. Get a professional to fill them on site, or take the entire tractor to a place that can do it for you.

The Rimguard would add 310 lbs per tire. I didn't think it would be that hard for a couple guys to balance and roll that much weight. I think now though I will look into borrowing a trailer from someone. Thanks for opening my eyes lol

It's possible, but usually not worth it. The problem is partially the weight (500lbs or so total for your tires), and partially that they're unwieldy...no handles. I've moved loaded tires that size by myself, but was very careful about it. Once they start moving in any direction, they're very hard to control, and it only takes one slip to wind up with a broken hand/arm/leg with something that large and heavy.

If you had another machine with an FEL or backhoe, you could put a sling through them and move them easily enough....get them lined up, and get a bolt or two started, then remove the sling, but short of that it's better to let the pros handle it.

Jack the rear axle. Lift & block one side, then the other.

I don't know about jacking him up, but you can really spoil a coyote's day with a 22- 250

Aka the laser beam of death. Love shooting my 22-250. Just wish I had some room to really stretch it out and let it run.

I had to talk to the dealer today anyways and asked him his thoughts. He said that that size tire was no big deal to just be careful. He said the dealership deals with thise size tires filled all the time. I jacked it up under the hitch area as directed. .. took off both tires. I also put jack stands underneath fir safety. Took them and dropped them off to be filled. I picked them up a few hours later. They loaded them in the truck with a fork lift. At home I backed up to a small hill with a ramp and my adult son and I rolled them off and over to the tractor. We lined them up to and adjusted the jack to get to were we needed to be...... Done! Hardest part was holding the tires back when rolling them down my driveway (gravel)..... not steap but enough to have to hold back some..... one guy holding it back and one guy balancing it. Each tire was approximately 500lbs after being filled.

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.

.223 works very well for them around here. lol.

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.

.270 Win usually works for me.

I use a pallet truck to change the bigger ones. You have to be on concrete obviously.
