I know a couple of farmers here who do it. First you must start with the right size tire. 16.9 or 18.4 widths seem to work best. Diameter doesn't matter. Cut the bead out of one side about 1/2 way up the sidewall. They tell me that a sharp heavy knife works if you flex the sidewall just right. Haven't seen it done. One farmer uses a loader to turn them. He has chains in the ground around the perimeter of the tire. He hooks the chains up the outside onto the cut part of the tire. Then he had a reinforced piece of plywood cut in a circle a little larger than the bead of the tire laying on the ground under the tire. Then he hooks the plywood to the loader and lifts it up through the part of the tire that is chained to the ground. The other guy does the same except he stands the tire up and ties the cut part of the tire to a tree. He then pulls the board through with a tractor. Both ways get it done.
