Pretty sweet machine it looks, seen a few at Unkle Weiners last time I was there, no clue if they are decent, but salesman said they were a hot selling item

At $30 bucks for a tire mount/repair it won't take long to pay it off

That’s the type of machine you want. Useful for all types of rims from ATV’s up to pickup tires. Just make sure from the dealer that it can be used on the deeper offset rims from duallies as some machines need either a different set of jaws or adapters to do dually tires. There’s lots of moving parts in them though, so be anal about the lubrication and maintenance. I’ve been looking at auctions for healthy used ones but most are pooched from not being looked after.

Buddy has a changer and balancer, changer works great but balancer is a pos, won’t ever calibrate properly.

I have a relative that owns a couple of tire shops.....nothing is more unreliable or gives him more trouble than the balancers.

I believe it. No interest in a balancer at all . Just want to repair and switch tires as needed .

In saskatoon we have a tire changing supply shop. They take in tire machines on trade Rebuild them and sell them for very reasonable prices. I got the old Honda dealership tire machine and a pile of supplies and tooling for $1800. The machine Paid for its self the first year I owned it. That’s just on personal tire installs. Not to mention the time I saved for not having to bring them into the city. (I had over 200 tires and rims on my farm at one point)

Buy a machine where u can get parts for it easily. A tire machine is a purchase for most ppl will be a once in a lifetime.
