..I'm cornfused
What I picture doing this is that the wheel will drop into the bucket until the top flange of the wheel hits and is held by the top bead of the tire. I picture the bottom flange of the wheel hanging into the bucket, farther down into the bucket than the bottom bead of the tire. Pushing the wheel down with the pot lid would, it seems, just push its bottom flange farther down into the bucket and farther from the bottom bead of the tire.
A how to video would be great!I'm cornfused
Sorry, maybe it a lack of coffee... :dunno:
don't get fooled with them.. they show a rim mounted tire.. I don't think u get the rim.. in the details it only has specs on the tire.. nothin bout it mounted on a rim..
I have a set of Turf Savers on one of my 16Gs. They're okay, but they're really golf cart tires. I have the similar Carlisle Turf Masters on another 16G and they have significantly better traction on grass, but do no more harm to the turf. In fact, the rounder shoulders are actually more gentle than the Turf Saver's more square/sharp profile.
once ya apply air to the stem.. the tire will rise out of the bucket till the lower side seats on the rim.. all the bucket is doin is contain the air from escapin into the atmosphere.. the pot lid on top is keepin the air from commin out the axle hole..I'm cornfused

I'm gonna add one lil bit of info.. when u remove the mounting lags so u can move the machine to a storage place.. insert the lags back in the floor holes.. just snug them up a bit then.. get then as close as possible to the floor.. u can walk or drive over them without gettin dirt & trash in the holes..This was my solution to rolling around on the garage floor fighting with tires.
I got it from Amazon. Here's the link.

I used lag shields for 2&1/2" x 1/2" lag bolts to secure it to the floor. I wanted to be able to secure it and still be able to remove it when it wasn't being used. I had considered drop anchors, but being on the garage floor I thought that dirt and debris would just foul up fine thread fasteners.
As far as a review of the tool goes, I'd say get yourself at least a 30" decent tire spoon (glad I did) as the tool that comes with it is pretty janky. At this price point, it's obviously a Chinese production item and has normal manufacturing issues. The adjustable rim claw is only connected to the threaded shaft by a large nut (I will be changing that to a connecting nut). The threaded shaft its self is mounted in the wrong direction i.e. lefty-tighty, righty-loosey. The bead breaker part of the mechanism works very well so far with very little effort. I was able to pull the tires off and put them on with a tiny fraction of the effort it took to do it the old way with vise grips and prybars. I didn't time myself, but I'd say a fair guess for a front tire would be about 30 seconds to take off and the same to put on.

The 23x8.50-12 size are about $70 each. I got mine from Summit Racing.

One thing I saw someone else do with one of these, is if you don't want to do the whole semi-permanent mounting it to the floor, is to get some 2"x2" square tubing, and either weld or bolt it to the side of the vertical shaft, at the height of a vehicles hitch, so you just slide it into the hitch when you want to use it and slide it out for storage.
now it comes up for all of us.. ya did great..
