Hopefully the rim is still mounted on the tractor. It's probably easier to watch a youtube video than explain, but here goes.
If trying to dismount the tire from the rim, you'll need to break the bead so to speak, the bond between the tire and rim. That takes some force and there are various ways to do it. Dismounted rim/tire on the ground, I've used some wood blocking and the loader bucket using down pressure. I have done the same while mounted with the back of the backhoe bucket to push in the sidewall and leave space to get the tire spoons under. The tire guy used his boom, but I had already had the bead broken for him.
From there, the tire spoons, (they work best in pairs) are used to guide a small section of the bead over the rim at a time. Too much or too little is all a person needs to learn about, then it's relatively easy. You don't want to stress the bead, so it takes a little care, but not impossible. I'm assuming the tire is not huge, say 14.9 - 28, 13.6-28 etc. etc. It seems the 2nd bead is easier once the first one is off the rim.
I just paid the tire outfit for a service call to replace a tube, $400+, I did not have time to do it. They put a boot in the tire and re-filled with CACL ballast, which I think I'll change to a non corrosive type at some point. On this one the previous owner let the valve core leak and it ruined the outside of the rim, inside was not rusted at all. Entirely separate discussion LOL !
Do a search on youtube, you'll see how it's done fairly quickly !
