That is the way it should be, never bothered me to pay someone for a service, but it's the friendly, people orientated ones who take care of the details or will show up to do a job no matter how small, with a smile. If we had an outfit like that here, and I had a flat, not only would I be glad to help, they'd have a loyal customer and it would be a pleasure to leave a tip, amazing that they do that for flats. I think it's wise in certain situations to just have a spare on hand for a tractor, maybe not so for every size in a fleet but for guys like us who have one or a couple, utility sized ones, say just for the one that gets the most use. The big ones are definitely a handful. I did not have much trouble dealing with a 13.6 x 28 loaded tire, just used care, even had to let it flop over once, got away from me, just had to carefully stand er back up and shift er over to the tractor. Another tractor with a loader would be handy as you can hoist and probably break a bead, that jack does have the potential to cause injury, definitely need to use care. With my counter weight on and solid cribbing under the rear axle of my 850 ford, I can still carefully use the loader to lift or even compress on a bead, not for everyone and I'm sure some would balk at doing that, just can't get greedy, take yer time, realizing where the line is.
