Brock - I wholeheartedly agree with you. It is great to watch any tradesman work. I'm glad he was agreeable to you making the video. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had many nails, thorns, screws, barbed wire, and even metal scraps and tire weights puncture tires before - but that’s the first time I’ve seen a pitch fork! You’re right about the value of tradesmen. #purplecollarlife
I was really surprised. I thought I was going to have to get the machine to them. The service was done by pomps which I think is a chain but I’m not certain
Great video. Since you have tubeless tires you can keep some plugs with you to do in field repairs. Not doable with tubed tires. I've done this several times when brush hogging. Eventually bought aircraft front tires that are 18 ply from Gensco and no more worries for the fronts. Just be careful. I always hog in the same direction. Thanks for the content. I appreciate it.
I definitely think having fluid in the tires is a good idea. You almost can’t have too much ballast. There were a couple little nuggets in this one that I thought could be helpful to people Good luck with it
I thought he was gonna pull it out by hand! I was thinking "what a beast". Still good at what he does to remove it even with a bar though. Also pretty cool trick with the grease
the thing stuck in your tyre was called a *Prong Hoe* we used them to dig out couch grass and other running grass/weeds from between the rows of small crops
I've changed lots of car tires in a shop. Looking at this, I think tractor tires are almost easier. Makes sense when you really don't want to take the whole wheel off and put it on a machine.
@@RockhillfarmYT there I just subscribed. I live in Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 I have a JD 1025r. And wanting a 2032-38. Someday soon. Nothing on the JD lots up here due to Covid so maybe next year.
My tire machine is in an unheated area so I use windshield washer and dish soap for my tire mounting liquid. I also put it in a spray bottle to check for leaks.
The two weights on each tire and the liquid ballast adds how much weight altogether? And can you break it down for us per tire weight and liquid separately? Thanks for the very educational video.
I actually have three wheel weights on each side. Each wheel weight weighs 60 pounds. Fluid in each tire is 260 pounds. So each side has 440 pounds of additional weight and there is 880 additional pounds of ballast between those two things combined The six weights make a total of 360 pounds and all the fluid is a total of 520 pounds Thanks for watching
@@RockhillfarmYT how much air pressure are running in ur tires then? 20 pds? or less for the better ride? i bet ur butt hurt after riding that long?lol
They still have full air pressure, just less volume of air. The tire repair technician filled them to 50 pounds I believe It was definitely a beating on my back Thanks for watching and for commenting
@@RockhillfarmYT oh my--i have the same tire on my 2520 and since 2006 i have only ran 12 to 20 pds in either tire. i had to put tubes in mine a couple yrs ago due to getting pin holes in the sidewall. only one tire did that-why-IDK. maybe the tech put that much in urs because of ur wheel weights u got on there. ? keep cranking these good vids out. i sure enjoy them
That looks like a pitch fork. I recently had flat on my 5115m from a thorn. Farm has lots of these odd fruit trees that someone brought from somewhere when they immigrated. They are gnarly nasty looking things. I hope to start my own channel and show them.
They haven’t given me the price yet. The tech said he would estimate around $200 but the office actually price of the job Thanks for watching and for commenting
@Rockhill farm - How was the cost of the repair handled customer-wise? I know if it was your land that the damage happened on, the full $314 cost would be on you, however, since the customer or a farmhand left the corn rake out to be run over, (thank Yah it wasn't your foot with a puncture hole in it, medical bills on a job site without insurance really suck, ask me how I know), was all or part of the cost put on the customer? Did you have a signed contract with the customer, and if so, did it have a repair clause/repair downtime clause written into it?
I do have insurance but I wouldn’t want to file a claim for something in that price range. It didn’t even occur to me to ask the customer to pay for the damage. If that’s how you earn your living you do probably have to think that way though
I better not get a flat. I put 460r24.5? Where it was 17.5-24.5. The old tire spec was regular well. The new tires are deep well rims. What a pain to mount them.
That’s what my total came to. It was a combination of distance traveled in time and some cost of fluid replacement. They caught and reused some of the fluid.
It’s a similar product but not exactly the same product. The shop that came out and fixed my tire said they used to use beet juice and switch to bio ballast. I don’t remember why they switched
@@RockhillfarmYT It would be neat to know what it is. I have an older Kubota BX23, been thinking seriously about getting fluid fill for added weight. I'll do some searching around.. I know the old classic chemical fluid was not really "safe" for food fields if it leaked. PS: We love the Lock-N-Lube.. really makes greasing a LOT easier.
It seemed more like wax than Grease to me I don’t know much about it but he said they just pack that in the gap to stop the airflow and then air up the tire and it pops on. If you noticed he put all of the compound back in the bucket and they just reuse it. Seems like a really simple solution to me Thanks for watching
@@RockhillfarmYT It's a product called bead pack, which is made from vegetable oil. I service tractor tires as well. He probably could have blasted that tire but most tractor tires are too big for a 5 gallon blaster to work.
That Tech should be ashamed. Both of the patches he put in are wrong. They are Marked how they are suppose to go saying bead to bead and he had them turned wrong

Yes sir. Thanks for watching
Even though this is something I would never do I, like you, enjoy watching someone who knows what they’re doing.
Thanks
Good Video Brock, glad your up and going again and the tech let you film it.....
Thanks
That was amazing that you got that repaired in about 2 hours. Thanks for filming it.

This was a great video. So informative. Thanks for sharing Brock.
As soon as I got over being annoyed about having a flat tire it hit me that this could be helpful

Curious what a service call like that cost. That young man was good and an efficient worker.
I do this for a living. THis would cost around $500
It cost me 300 but that was a few years ago
PB-5 patch. I use them all the time
Awesome tech and tools!
I have to add some fluid to mine. Hopefully it makes it more stable. Very Tippy. Great video 👌

That was a good video, it's been a long time, that repairman made it look easy, it's not. Thanks for filming it.
Agreed
Nice that they were close by!
It was convenient
Thanks for watching
Totally agree abøut tradesmen. Always impressive.
Man, that was pretty cool to watch.
I thought so too. Thanks for watching
the thing stuck in your tyre was called a *Prong Hoe*
we used them to dig out couch grass and other running grass/weeds from between the rows of small crops
You learn something new every day
Thanks for sharing
I used to use them years ago we allways called them potato forks in NC
Thanks for sharing.
I didn’t know what to call it but I know it didn’t do my tire any favors

lucky to have a service so close. bet that was an expensive bill. guessing $250-$400??
I’m heading over this morning to find out
@@RockhillfarmYT And?
$314
@@RockhillfarmYT sounds fair.

Hello. I'm curious as to how much did that service call cost. Great video.
I now see $314.00 in the comments. Was that flat or hourly rate?
That’s what my total came to. It was a combination of distance traveled in time and some cost of fluid replacement. They caught and reused some of the fluid.
Does the bio ballast smell bad?
I did not notice an odor at all
Great video. What did this cost ya?
Around 300
Now that was a flat for sure! Glad you didn’t need a replacement tire!
Yeah, lucky it didn’t hit the side wall
Can't figure why he took the weights off. Or the implement.
Good show.
Maybe so he could use the bars.
How much was the service call?
$330
Thats not bad.
Did you at least end up with beer money after that bushhog job? 🤪
How much was that repair
$314
BioBallast,.. beet juice?
Beet juice is common weight out here in Oregon.
It’s a similar product but not exactly the same product.
The shop that came out and fixed my tire said they used to use beet juice and switch to bio ballast. I don’t remember why they switched

Man brock you just cost your self some money I would have done that my self real easy
That’s not a pitchfork it’s a corn rake used to pull ear corn out of the bin when your shelling corn.
Thanks for sharing
I thought it was a garden hoe until he pulled it out and I saw the tines
Like patching up a bicycle tire almost, hu hu
I'm perplexed he didn't have a bead blaster and used grease instead
