So, a yard mule or semi-tractor has 2, 4, or 8, 19" to 22.5" pneumatic rear tires. How do a pair of 12" somethings support and move a loaded trailer? The third tire [steering] is pretty far from king post to bear much weight at all!

Big difference in the wheels but also big differences in expected mileage.

in re to second post on trailer mules. Too little gear reduction, excessively wide tires, inadequate voltage or torque for a slight uphill grade. I thought it rolled forward a little too fast. Sure it did, for all the reasons above. And that travel trailer is fractional in weight compared to the semi-trailer of original thread.
But it's the unit to buy if a little physical exercise is needed!

Sure wouldn't want to run over your foot — with that 1st one. (And it looked like it could be easy to do.)
