For small tires I use a cheap Harbor Freight bead breaker bolted to the floor. If the tire is trashed I use the skidsteer and forks. Larger tires I have used the backhoe, skidsteer, or the beadbreaker shown above depending on circumstances. I have taken rear tires off the rim while on the tractor using the beadbreaker tool, but prefer to do them laying down so I can use my body weight to collapse the tire to get it in the drop of the rim. Also when remounting with a tube there is less chance of pinching the tube this way. I have a 30" spoon and a 3' chisel point bar to remove the tires from the rim. I use a pair of vise grips on the rim when mounting a tire, makes things easier. I use a bar of soap to lube the rim and bead. Skidsteer and forks definitely help when working on the bigger tires.
