What happens here

During the land clearing process, the tractor's rear tire goes flat. To fix this, locate the puncture in the tire. Use a reaming tool from a tire patch kit to clean and enlarge the hole. Take a sticky, gooey rubber plug (or 'rope') from the patch kit, thread it through the installation needle, and then firmly push the plug into the reamed hole. Quickly pull the needle back out, leaving the plug in place. Inflate the tire using an air compressor. The presenter notes that this patch kit is typically for car tires, so it might struggle with a large tractor tire hole, but it's worth trying.

Goal: Fix the flat tractor tire to resume land clearing
