Dallas Rusk – Lafleche, SK

We purchased a TireGrabber at the 2017 Ag in Motion farm show. When we saw it we recognized that it would make changing sprayer tires easier, quicker and safer. We also felt that it was a well made and robust piece of equipment. It has turned out every bit as good as we could have imagined, and tire changes are much safer now.

Duncan Campbell – Elrose, SK

While replacing a sprayer tire in June of 2019, I had it fall on my leg, breaking a bone just above the ankle. It didn’t heal the first go around requiring surgery in November. I purchased the TireGrabber from Darcy in July and used it to put the “skinnies” on. After seeing how easy, quick and safe this was, I was wishing I had purchased it a month earlier. Like many farmers, I had looked at the TireGrabber at farm shows, figuring they were nice but I didn’t need one. I was wrong!
