Torque wrench

[Jimbo]

looking for a good 3/4 torque wrench for tightening up my tractor wheels ! Just wondered what others are using and best place to buy online ?

3/4 socket , bar and scaffold pole , buzz em of with the impact wrench

As above, if it still doesn't shift, get your mate to tap directly over the socket with the sledge as you pull.

Think that’s a bit more suited to taking them off than putting them back on.

We have a Spaldings one, although it’s probably not the best value for money

But if you want to spend your money.

Been there done that got the t shirt ! Nearly lost a floatation wheel sowing wheat on a steep field ! Only two wheel nuts left holding wheel on rest gone

Funny this thread should appear. I've just realised I have a need for a torque wrench capable of 350nm and taking a 36mm socket. I only need it for once a year.

Would this one be in a good range for normal farm use ? Tractor , trailer ,combine ect !

We use this one on tractors, trailers self propelled sprayer

Sykes pickavent 300Nm to 1000Nm 3/4 torque wrench here. Ideal for combine, trailer and tractor row crop wheel swaps. I also learnt to move on from the 6’ bar method after a rear wheel came adrift. I use a cordless impact first and then finish with the torque bar. Wouldn’t be without it now.

Try a bit of oil or grease on the threads and everything will wait tight

Ps make sure no dirt is between the wheel and hub too

For future flexibility and uses maybe have a look at a x4 torque multiplier, hellish handy thing to have

John Deere tractors are 300nm front wheel hubs and 500nm rear wheels bolts.
