Rolled a tire off

[chim]

Was making a run along the edge of the road to clear the shoulder for the postman. Looked down at the RF tire and saw it was half off the rim. The outside tire bead was off the outside of the rim. Fortunately it was an easy fix. It was simple to use the FEL for a jack and pull the wheel. That R4 was way to stiff for me to try to remount it at home. Ran it to town and $10 later was back at work.

I checked the RF tire and found it only had 15# in it, so I'm now running 30# in the fronts:

I popped a bead on my last tractor in the woods coming up against a large rock. Since then I run 25psi, at least, all around.

Rolling a rear tire from the rim, almost always due to underinflation, is a leading cause of equipment rollovers when operating on hillsides.

Welcome to the club! Did it on a rear tire and it was absolutely no fun!

Check your tire pressure!

Had a friend with a big skid steer with a stump bucket remove a 40" red maple stump. This was the right call because it was so big and so deep. But it weighs over two tons because he could not lift it with his unit. So we decided to drag it with my tractor with him pushing it. Well, had the...

Years ago I had that happen with a B7500 rear and it barfed its windshield washer ballast. Was helping #1 Son make some parking spaces. Apparently the amount of traction was enough to overcome the marriage between the tire and rim. Since the tire beads both remained on the wheel, I was able to expand it enough with a ratchet strap to get it seated and re-inflated.
