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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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