"Monster Truck" Wheel Horse?

[71_Bronco 1,072]

Just curious if anybody has done a "monster truck" style Wheel Horse.

 

Thinking something with a tool-box and fenders would be the easiest (like RJ style rear fenders). Bigger wheels and big fat meaty tires on the back, and then bigger wheels / tires on the front, maybe something like the trailer-wheel conversion for more wheel / tire options.

 

Thoughts?

Colossus is exactly that

Im thinkin @pullstart. Hes always 

creating something!!

My “Poppy” 552 has some big meats indeed, like Craig mentioned.

 

Here’s the link to where the tires started.  However, I made a deal with Uncle Jim this weekend and will be pulling that coveted double belt engine in trade for that 401.  I’m thinking about what engines I have laying around or what could possibly be stuffed in there?  That diesel genny engine would be slick if we ever figure out how to start it!

Yes, Colossus is a "Monster Truck" for sure.

 

However, I was thinking more along the lines of what @pullstart is building, where the main tractor is the same, just with some massive rubber.

 

That one that Pullstart is building is looking very slick, almost exactly what I was thinking.

Skippers Super C is just plain a MONSTER Wheel Horse!  Big tractor and HUGE tires all around, yet still amazingly functional!

Just for reference to this thread, Poppy did turn a bit monster!

Yes sir. Both of those are true.

Making great headway. House is done on three of four sides and she's working on the last.

Just this past weekend we spent quite a bit of time on the firewood and we now have about four cord undercover. That should get us by for this year so we're kind of out from underneath pressure in that department.

 

I have most of the parts I knew I needed for the Charger hydro project.

Once that's finished up I'll get back to the big boy tractor.

Then I'll have my own Monster tractor.

Yeah yeah, sure sure.  .

I am surprised that his machine hasn’t entered this thread yet.  Poppy strives to be like this one some day!

I missed Skippers post last spring but I think that one should be called BIGFOOT.

there’s an Eric Church song, called Before She Does.  It says “I believe in keep your mouth shut and carry a big stick”. 
 

I vote we call @Skipper’s big machine “Big Stick”
