Mounting massive 2000lb tractor tires with fire

When it comes to mounting tires and wheels, there is the right way to do it then there is the method of using an explosive to get the tire on the wheel.

We aren’t necessarily saying this is the wrong way because it can definitely be effective if you know what you’re doing but the “know what you are doing” part is most definitely essential to success and a lot of people forego that step.

This time, we check out a tire that weighs in somewhere around 2000 pounds as it is mounted on a Clark 290M Earth Mover with the use of an explosion.

Check out the video below to see how this gigantic tire that towers over a six-foot tall man is mounted up with a little bit of fire in an exciting demonstration.
