“One-Man” Tractor Tire Jack
“Our new one-man tire jack allows one person to quickly and easily remove large tractor tires, and also move them around your shop or yard,” says Ashley Royals, Riverside Fabrication, Sterling, Colo. 
    The RT Tractor Tire Jack rides on 4 heavy-duty steel wheels and comes with a 6-ton, 2-stage jack. It can handle tires weighing up to 6,000 lbs. A pair of adjustable arms, one set about 5 ft. high and the other 2 ft., fit into brackets on either side of the main frame. The arms can be moved in or out by changing the position of a pair of pins. The tire sits on a free-spinning rollbar at each side of the frame. Vertical uprights that support both the arms and rollbars ride up or down on pipes at each side of the frame. 
    To remove a tire, you lower the rollbars close to the ground and slide the unit forward until the arms contact the tire. Then raise the jack, unbolt the tire and pull it off. 
    “It eliminates the need for someone to stabilize the tire and is safe to use because the weight of the tire is always supported by the jack, and the tire is kept close to the ground,” says Royals. “The adjustable arms can be used to remove big dual wheels that weigh up to 6,000 lbs.”
