I have never had as much trouble as you did, but without the strap I don't think I'd ever get one on. I have never had to try this on skidsteer tires, but sometimes on car tires I have lay the tire on its side,  reached through and pounded the one bead partially on until it sticks, then suspended the tire on a couple blocks and  pressed the rim down while inflating.I have used either in the past on truck tires, It works best if you put the can in 120 degree or so water to warm it up, takes a lot less either to get the results, makes its puff rather then just flame, Have a propane torch or such to touch it off, the longer the handle the better. Now I buy Michelins, they just pump right up.Obviously you do this at your own risk, as some people have been serious hurt. Spending money is always safer then getting dirty, but some has to get the job done.Ken</blockquote>
