Bad luck streak. I was up at 3:30, but didn't leave the house until 5. I was expecting more traffic near the grounds. Friday I didn't spend much. Saturday I spent some. Saw something a minute in I had missed. I didn't see that Wheelhorse. I've had a few over the years. Thank you Kyle.
Thanks for taking us wadding through the 2023 Swamp Swap & Shop. I was thinking a canoe 🛶 would help one get around 🤔 but ... ua .... To get anything out one might invest in a small barge. Just a though🤔 🤣😂🤣 Thanks so much bud. Can't wait to see more D4 videos or what ever is next on your list. 😏Toby called that one. He said Kyle will be pulling out of here with this D4, you watch. (paraphrasing)
Yikes, those tires just didn't want to play nice? Were they not the right load range, or just old maybe? I'm guessing that's at LEAST a 12,000lb trailer, and the D4 is under that, so I can't imagine it was a weight issue. I'm on a tire/wheel replacing spree this year myself. I've replaced both tires and rims on my little utility trailer, and replaced all 4 tires and rims on my 12,000lb enclosed trailer. I still need to order 4 for my equipment trailer too, but these things aren't cheap!
I haul a lot and have had real good luck from the Gladiator All Steel trailer tires. ST235/85R16 14 132/127 Be sure you get the ones with the 132/127 speed rating and the smooth outside ribs. Simple tire has them for $188 each. I get them from Riley Park for about $150 each.
Great find in that D4! My first ever tire blow out was last fall about an hour into a RV trip. Classic China Bomb blowout of one of four RV tires. Like you there was no forward warning. I had ensured the tire pressure was correct before I left as I always do. I pulled out my man card and installed the spare myself along the side of the highway and still made it to my destination on schedule. Replaced the blow out at the local tire dealer. Thanks for the video.
When your trailering things that heavy, it doesn't hurt to run a little higher air pressure in the trailer tires. That sidewall flex at freeway speeds creates a lot of heat.
A trip down memory lane. My grandpa had a D4 that he used to pull freight sleighs through the bush and I had that exact Tonka dump truck. Up in northern Canada most guys got rid of the upper track roller and replaced it with a piece of oak or fir. For some reason the upper roller would always seize in the winter and wear itself flat. My grandpa's D4 is still sitting in the bush somewhere and if it hasn't rotted away that piece of oak will still be there. Ken
Quick story for you man, I've had that exact tonka dump truck as a kid. I was pushing it across the lawn at Mock 10 and I tripped and blasted out my 2 front teeth off the metal dump bed. Still love that thing 😂
Stop putting trailer tires on it and put light truck tires on it and you won't have nearly the problems with tires 😊😊 I use 10 ply L T on mine because I got tired of the trailer tires blowing every time I used it !!! The tire that broke me was the day I went through 10 tires in one day 😖😖😖😖🥴 and 4 was bran new and they only lasted a week 😖😖😖🥴🥴
I'm just kinda curious, there seems to be a lot of old cats up in your neck of the woods and I'm just curious if you mind sharing what this cat sold for and what do the prices look like up there, id like another d2 but there just aren't any around me so I may need to travel to get one, just looking to see if it's worth traveling and I'm not sure what a good price is because people think everything is gold plated around here if you can find them
Nice 6U! I have a 6U6370, not sure what year it is? Could anyone give me a hint? Needs rings according to last owner. Also wondering what size engine it is? Pony motor fires, but won't stay running. Probably just needs a good cleaning. Thanks
@@kylechrist most likely because they were bought at the same time and run over the same ruts in the road and sun and weather. But yeah, sounds like it's time for new tires. Myself, I'd get a larger load rating with heaver sidewall tire ... if you keep hauling heavy loads, you know like another RD4, D4 or any other heavy iron and parts😁👍
The trailer has 2 7k axles, that's 14000lb capacity, D4 weighs 10500lbs, that leaves 3500lbs. Trailer weighs in at 3250lbs, that still leaves 250lbs and is also not including the weight taken by the tow vehicle. I am in no way over weight or overloaded, most modern skidloaders weigh as much or more than the D4 and this trailer is designed to haul skidloaders
