very easy, left and right from the gasifier is a good sight on the street…other place was not possible, because the "cart " is a dumper…and also when hay or shelfs are loaded is not so good to have the gasifier nearby…

Giorgio,
Looks great–like right out of the showroom.

It is a beauty Giorgio, and it deserves to be painted/taken care off.

Giorgio,
There are a lot of English-speaking USA Americans that have more trouble with words than you. I am related to some of them. Phone-texting and auto-correct has made many lazy about spelling and using the correct word for the meaning they are trying to communicate. I can understand your posts very well, and can interpret or fill in those few times I am confused on the meaning. Yes, Fire bad near dry straw. That is a universal!

They do not teach it in school. They teach phonetics to get kids to get especially the ‘low income’ kids to pass through the grades easier.

Hi Giorgio
Have you ever tried using Loader tires without inflating them, relying solely on the rigidity of the casing to support a tractor or trailer? I was thinking of trying this on my forestry trailer. What do you think?

Oh, excuse me, “loader” might be a Quebec term. I’m talking about the wheels on industrial loaders, with very thick tires. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos or videos of this type of modification, but I’m certainly not the first to have thought of it.

No it is international. They are a specific industrial tire. They also make solid rubber ones. They would be okay in a forest but they aren’t made for road use/speeds. I doubt they are totally deflated either, more likely similar to farm tractor tires where they are just very low pressure.

I did some online research to see if anyone had ever tried using those old industrial tires on tractors or trailers, but I couldn’t find anything 
. I’m guessing even Mike Reynol couldn’t find anything about it? He’s usually unbeatable at finding a video or website…

I looked. I found a little bit on Fork-Lift tires, solid, semi-pneumatic (cushioned), tube-pneumatic, cautions not to hurt yourself, non-marking compounds, smooth or treaded, inside use on hard floors or outside use. They mostly require heavy presses and tools to change tires…
The Amish here use regular tires on work-only, non-Amish owned equipment that they “rent”. Farm wagons they own have steel spoked, steel wheels or steel-tired wooden wheels. Sometimes they have flat rubber treads riveted on like Giorgio’s.
You might be breaking new ground, finding new life in “Loader” tires!

Hi all. I believe it would work with these heavy duty tires without inflation, if you make kind of a rim and bolt to the tire sides.
As these are many, many thread belted layers, and if you use them for a much lighter vehicle than the many ton’s loaders they are intended for.
I have tried (unaware of it) to drive a wheel loader many kilometers with a flat tire (it wasn’t flat, very hard, stiff rubber, with just “atmospheric pressure” inside)
The homemade “rim” could be bolted closer to the tread to compensate for the softer sidewalls?
Just some thoughts.
Edit: im inspired some by the method used by “off-road drivers” (bead-lock) which allows one to drive with extremely low pressure without break off the rubber from the rims.

Thanks Goran for your input. What do you mean by “The homemade “rim” could be bolted closer to the tread to compensate for the softer sidewalls?”? Are you suggesting reducing the rim width so the tire sidewalls are straighter and therefore less prone to deformation?
Thanks Mike, your research, also unsuccessful, reassures me a little; I’m not necessarily searching badly… there’s probably nothing on the web about this.

Hi Thierry, im talking about increasing the rim diameter, to compensate for to soft sidewalls.
The sidewalls are often softer close to center, and when they once get deformed, they are useless.

But how do you increase the rim diameter of a 20-inch tire? This tire will never fit on a 24-inch rim. 
Do you suggest reinforcing the tire sidewalls with iron rings welded to the rim and the outside of the tire? 
Okay, I think I understand better now. I just did some research on the “beadlock” system. It involves supporting the tire sidewalls with iron rings welded to the rim and bolted to the tire at the sidewalls. But how do you mount a tire on that?

Honestly, i would do the steel wheels then rivet rubber to them or just cast/paint it on like the Amish. From what i understand Natural rubber can be remelted.
But they won’t hold up to high speeds…
