We use our HF bead breaker for tractor and other yard equipment tires,
some of them are pretty large.
Which bead breaker do you use?
Is it this one?

Dude did you ever get your tire changed? I was actually trying to buy this harbor freight tire changer today but they were sold out so I just got 2 tire irons from them. I broke the bead with my harbor freight floor jack, some lumber and a tow strap. I know you said earlier you weren't trying to do stuff a "rednecK" way but I found it to work great for breaking a bead.
For the few tires I change in my life, I will just give the tire guy
at the end of the street $10. Sometimes they have trouble with those
little tires and they have a shop full of professional equipment. For
commodity things like trailer tires and golf carts, I buy the tires
mounted, for a couple bucks more than a tire and a stem.
