Rob Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Tractor hitch is just as good as sliced bread moving trailers around to mow. Unfortunately it brings some faults to light I did not know about. First I pulled the skid steer trailer out to mow, then moved the car hauler trailer. Upon moving my tongue block for the skid steer trailer I noticed this: Don't guess I'll use this set of tires any longer. They don't have 200 miles on them but are over 12 years old. No flats ever either. I purchased the rims and tires together back in '09. Still full of air too. Oh well. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Freightrain Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Car trailer tires are grenades with the pin half pulled when new. I get 5-6 years before they start coming apart. I do have covers for them now so may get an extra year out of them? Ive never worn one out in over 25 yrs....they always blow out. I just try to keep ahead of that situation ny replacing them on a schedule. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Rob Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 When using that trailer routinely I did also. Five years was about it for lifespan. It hasn't been off my shop property in years now and just sets. No cracking or dry rot evident on these at all.
