Also my thought. My father hit a curb on a small bridge on a farm road with our 2 ton horse trailer. Not wanting to pay 300 Euro for a new 1 ton torsion axle with brakes (at that time i worked at a trailer manufacturer, but consumer price is about 500 Euro) i tied it to a 6 ton pig feed silo, and had our 4 ton weighing 5245 spinning all 4 tires on the pavement, to re-align it. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/p...sion-axle.html
It isnt perfect, but it doesnt eat any tires anymore. The new tire will hold up untill we want to trade up for a brand new one, in 5 years.
