Bens vintage tractors 1,542 #1 Posted December 2, 2021 So on top of buying, selling, and collecting stock wheel horses me and my friends enjoy modifying them to compete off-road. So far I have build 6 or 7 off-road machines. Purist don’t worry all of the off-road tractors have been build from junky machines most of them have actually come from the scrap yard. Here’s my most recent build I’m working on but I’d love to see if anyone else on here has build one.. if your interested in seeing more of these off-road machines check out my YouTube! 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 68,888 #5 Posted December 2, 2021 I'm not so much into building a Horse to be strictly an off-road machine but I most certainly do have an appreciation for their capabilities. Being as rugged as they're built definitely is a bonus. And like Kevin says in the previous post I do appreciate them being saved from being recycled into the next piece of disposable material. Haven't seen a couple of Ben's machines in action in person in my own forest I can tell you that they would be some kind of handy to help us with processing firewood on occasion. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,808 #12 Posted December 3, 2021 Hey Ben, You've had a couple tractors now with these same front tires. They look great! What are they? I assume some kind of ATV tire? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Down South a lot of them we find start out half rotten and end up with nice red paint We usually butchered Deer to make sausage, but its OK with me if you want to butcher a few of them. GREEN sausage would make a person sick. Edited December 3, 2021 by oliver2-44 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly an alternative to ags up front, and likely equal or better "non-directional" traction from the look of them. I haven't found any large enough for rear tires yet. If they make them, that would be a nice set of tires! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they make them, that would be a nice set of tires! I run these on the front and Carlisle all trails on the rear. I plowed 12inches of snow last year with no chains just these tires and some weights.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
