What happens here

This project outlines the highly specialized and dangerous process of changing heavy equipment tires, specifically demonstrating the removal of old dirt tires and the installation of new Hakapeliuti snow tires on an SDLG L918F loader. The instructions emphasize the extreme caution and professional equipment required due to the multi-piece rim and snap ring system, concluding with an informational comparison of snow and dirt tire characteristics.

we upgraded one of our loaders with a set of Haka palui snow tires but before we could put them on we had to remove the old dirt tires and it was a snap ring system and that can be pretty dangerous so the pros use a crane to make sure that everything stays in place without flying off a snow tire actually has a very square shape so that when the tire rolls as much rubber meets the road as possible it also uses a soft rubber compound and has lots of grooves and edges to grab and bite through the snow now on our loader we grooved our own dirt tires but still a dirt tire has an oval shape and uses a harder rubber which helps resist cuts and tears but what kind of tires are you guys running
