Just acquired a 17 ft heavy duty flat bed landscape trailer. Tandem wheels, 4 tires, no brakes, independent leaf springs on each axle.
It is old but totally SOLID........I got it to use for hauling lumber, my RTV, B series Kubota, and other stuff......Got a great deal on it; but it needs tires before I carry a load of railroad ties that I am building around my barns for heavy use areas. All in all need 48 ties at an average of 150 pounds each.......So lets say a load of perhaps 4 or 5 thousand pounds.
I am used to buying tires for my Airstream and am sick and tired of paying the big dollars for radial tires that blow out with less than 5K miles on them.............Yes, my use of the Airstream and this trailer is intermittent and my research indicates that this is the one area that bias ply tires are great for...........
Anyway.......What do YOU think????????..........I need 5 tires counting the spare that I need to find a wheel for......YES....While doing all of this am checking the wheel bearings.........God bless........Dennis
