ESCO 70160 Dual Agricultural Tractor Manual Tire Bead Breaker

Breaks 38" to 42" 14-ply farm tractor tires without wheel removal

The ESCO 70160 is a manual bead breaker designed specifically for agricultural equipment with newly improved reinforced steel brackets for superior leverage. This tool breaks tire beads from farm tractor, backhoe, and equipment tires without removing the wheel, saving hours of labor. Operates with an air ratchet wrench or manual ratchet and socket for controlled, safe pressure application that protects rims from damage.

Key Features

Improved Reinforced Steel Brackets

Newly redesigned bead hooks with reinforced steel brackets create superior leverage on rims without stress points. Enhanced design maximizes force application while protecting tire sidewalls and rims from damage during bead breaking.

No Wheel Removal Required

Dual clamp design breaks tire beads while the wheel remains mounted on the tractor or equipment. Eliminates heavy wheel removal labor and enables technicians to service tires in field locations without shop support.

Air Ratchet or Manual Operation

Works with standard air ratchet wrench or manual ratchet and socket for steady, controlled pressure. Do not use air impact tools. Gradual force application prevents rim damage and eliminates dangerous hammering.

Universal Agricultural Compatibility

Handles 38" to 42" 14-ply farm tractor tires with drop center rims, plus backhoe, ATV, and lawn mower tires. Lightweight at 12 lbs for portable field and shop service work.
