Failure

Recommended Posts

So if you followed my "Proof of Concept" thread you would have seen my thought process on the hauler pictured below.  In this photo I tested the system by loading it with firewood.  Move began okay, but ultimately failed because the single dolly wheel is both too small and narrow to handle any real weight on the lawn and the system did not have good balance and finally tipped the load of wood on the ground.

Digging around the parts pile in my shop came across to old snow blower tires and a steel rod.  Onto idea number two building a small little trailer to do the job with.  Much more traditional and I do not expect any problems with it.

I have a couple of snowblower tires that will work better.

Major consideration is the terrain that this will be used on. Plus you know how we all seem to like to cogitate, design, build and test some crazy ideas.  How we learn.
