Wheel trolley

I bought mine from @REStracTORATION about 3 years ago. Can’t fault it and I’m often changing wheels around 3 times a week through the summer months.

I would recommend one of these, slightly more expensive but alot better built then your typical sealey/spalding one. Brought one from at Lamma few years ago.

The ability to turn the wheel via the cranking handle makes it a doddle especially on your own. I've found using the Sealey type it's always a bit of a chore lining up the studs. Turn it too far, then back, then back again. The handle on the one above makes the adjustment very precise.

One thing I haven't been keen with on the Sealey is the bracket which goes over the top of the tyre. I've found this often interferes with the tractors mudguard or cab. I've found this bar also interferes with the ability to use an large air gun to undo the wheel studs, which can be an annoyance. The idea with the AC one is either you use a chain or a mini ratchet strap which goes around the back of the tyre or onto a bolt hole on the rim, thus eliminating this interference.

I've worked on a farm which has a Sealey one and like most sealey products you can tell it's been made to a budget. Welded up and castor wheels replaced (not through abuse either) The build quality on this one is second to none, everything is over engineered. Only issue I had was a few bolts coming loose as I have trundled the changer over uneven concrete shaking it. Bit of loctite and haven't had the issue since.

I have managed to change a set of 650 r42, 540 r30 to heavy duty split rim 320 R54, 320 R38 on a Fendt on my own within an hour. I'm not exactly very strong, only weighing some 10 stone. I wouldn't feel safe doing this with a Sealey one on my own. Changer definitely has capacity to much larger tyres.

Yes the Sealey ones do the job and certainly make the job safer then no remover. But I do feel the extra cost of the AC one is worth it.

this video summarises my ramblings!

And before someone suggests, no I don't sell them. Just very impressed by them!

I got mine from him as well. Used it for various sizes incl 710/70r42 which are a big lump of tyre and it wasn’t an issue

Be aware that casters need a nice smooth floor to roll along

In an ideal world it makes it easier but I have used mine on tamp finish concrete and managed

Hi,
Has anyone got a wheel trolley what they have used a lot and it has been faultless? We have some 800 70 32 on a forager and some 710 75 42 wheels on a tractor we want to be able to take off and wondered what trolley will do this and if anyone has any recommendations. Would like to buy one and it be fine with being able to do that and not bend over time etc.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

So, I bought one from @REStracTORATION and opted for the 1500kg wheel trolley and it is absolutely spot on. Arrived about 2/3 days after I paid and was working straight away. The trolley is well made and can handle the 710/85/38 wheels and tyres no bother and mainly it makes it a one man job and a safe environment. The trolley is a one way pump action and then press the foot pedal and pump it again and it goes out to lower the wheel down.
I’d say for anyone who is swapping wheels, no matter how many times a year, this is one of them tools that when you have one you use it a lot more.
fixing the tractor, oil leak behind the wheel, cleaning the tractor off after a season, them jobs you do and squeeze behind the wheel or don’t do it and struggle, 10 mins and the wheel is off and you don’t need a cuppa and a sit down after you have wrestled with the wheels and damaged the stud threads.
If you’re after a quality piece of equipment at a cost effective price then contact @REStracTORATION and he will sort you out.
cheers
