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.

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.

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

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!

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
