it is actually easier to change the tires out on the mounted rims rather than remove the wheels and wrassel them around, mounting tractor tires is not that difficult.
i have taken many tractor tires off the rim to repair through the years , with just a few common farm tools,
1. you need a level space for the tractor to set, with room to get around the tractor. helper is handy
2. tire hammer/ sledge hammer with flatend bar to break bead or a handy man jack, and truck bumper works well for this purpose, tire irons/crowbars for prying
3. bottle jack to lift the side you are working with.
4. container if you are saving the liquid ballast, one old drum will hold anything in a normal size tire off of and A, pump is nice if you are going to reuse, but i would not put it back in a show tractor
5. air supply for airing up new tires
here locally i have a guy who will come and change it out on the farm for $45 a call plus an additional 20 for the second tire, so he has been my goto guy now that i am getting older.
just some thoughts
