Front axle stops and puncture

[Sid]

Have got a tractor in a awkward field with a flat front tyre.

Can lift front of tractor on front linkage so 2 options, either remove tyre or chock axle stops and drive to easier to get at place.

Is the latter possible?

Yes. Why wouldn't it be?

Be easier to just whip the wheel off than mess about chocking it up ?

Because I've never done it before and driven .
Had loader tractor over on stop.

The men in tyre vans can often patch tyre without removin it from the rim so that might be an option just get them out to it

Means taking all the gear and another tractor to move wheel.
Where as lifting and chocking it could be driven to road for repair first thing tomorrow.

Guess if wheel is removed just as easy to take straight into repair

They wont get van near to where it is at the minute.
Either wheel or tractor needs to be moved

Also can’t see why the chock wouldn’t work depends how rough the field is too

You haven’t got anything you can manoeuvre onto the front links to take the weight and then drive/reverse somewhere a little easier?

 

[Mur Huwcun]

Unless you can get a bit of air into tyre to get it moving the chock trick will work if you can get it high enough off ground!!

Its steep . Need to get to bottom then up a stone track to road ideally.
Would like the tractor on more level ground to remove wheel really

Took the topper off to get it out of the worst of the steep
Would have been a biatch of a job where it was!

 

[Lofty1984]

Wouldn’t fancy it on the steep

Got front links we can lift with and a loader on other tractor

Reminds me of when I was a child, hedge cutting chap called in as he had finished, had tea and settled the bill, returned to the tractor, front tyre flat.. he slewed the brusher behind, reached it out fully so the wheels were off the ground, got a block from behind the seat and chocked the one side, retracted the brusher and set off home! As he left dad said, I think he's done that before ?

This was a ford 6600 2wd and little actual weight on the front, but I'm guessing if you take it steady Youl be fine

Think it may have been a stick gone in maybe

All the tyre repair places round here have a pickup on off-road tyres aswell as vans for these types of callouts
