I love this tractor and do my best to keep it in good running condition - and that is where I came to first use of our BeadBuster XB-550 Heavy Duty bead breaker. I was extremely fortunate to inherit the old Ford about six years ago. I remember riding the passenger side fender while holding on to the seat as he plowed up acres of potatoes. One of Grandpa Vernon’s favorite tractors was a 1955 Ford 640.

My grandfather, Vernon Sosebee, owned his own business called Sosebee’s Lawn and Garden, where he would not only work on his own tractors, but nearby families would bring their equipment to have it fixed there as well.

My grandfather and grandmother plowed their own land and fed several generations of children and grandchildren from that land. The XB-550 Heavy Duty is the biggest and baddest member of the BeadBuster family and is designed to work on everything from tractors to trucks to side-by-side utility vehicles. One tool worth having on hand is the BeadBuster XB-550, which is a lifesaver when it comes to making tire changes in a hurry. The bigger the machinery, the bigger the tools (for the most part), and having specialty tools to make the job easier is key. Farming can be some of the most rewarding and toughest work out there, but, as a farmer, you are often the only person you can count on to repair your own equipment.
