You should see the bobcats and bobclones on 4400lb landscaping trailers being pulled by half tons round here by a certian group notorious for never carrying auto insurance.
These trailers ride lower than a frogs *** and the tow vehicles front tires could roll over a snail with out cracking the shell, and of course these trailers don't have brake hubs.

Well, I guess it's my turn to be picked on!
WOW! Is about all I can say about welderj's picture. I think if that's all I had to work with. I would have log cabined the beams, and welded in a bunch of web to flange gussets, and some X-bracing. Hard to believe that thing can go down the road, and the cops not pull him over!
The tractor-trailer pics remind me of last month my wife and I were returning from buying some goats, at the interchange under construction going from 77 south to 40 W in Statesville. The first thing we saw on 40 was a set of semi trailer wheels caught in the median cable barrier. Just down the road on the right was the tractor stopped with the trailer dragging. we could still smell burning rubber and the driver was just getting out of the semi. Thankfully it wasn't a "your number is up" situation.

I ran into this thread some time back, and could identify with the need to get it done with what you can scrounge with no money to work with. I had spent quite a few years in the far north woods of Minnesota with no money and much to do. While I don't condone the trailer, or tow vehicle it may be better than a 110 mig can do.

A guy actually came by my shop to see how much it would cost to "fix it up".
Was it upside down on another trailer?

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.
Only ever seen those kinds of tires on military vehicles. OOOLD military vehicles.
