It appears West Lake has found their niche building heavy duty 10 ply tires for trailers and RV's.
Car tires are a different animal seeing they are more complicated in design with steering and drive propulsion characteristics.
I originally built this trailer unit over 10 years ago in my 2 car garage. Many upgrades since, just this morning I put 4 new tires on it making the trailer about 2 inches lower for easier infeed chute access.
I bought these Chinese made West Lake ST 225/75R15 E rated 10 ply. Very nice looking...
I forgot to mention that the chippers feed roller control bar is also the control for the hoist. Forward is up, reverse is down. I teeded 2 way valves into the hydraulics to separate the feed roller and hoist.
In order to add the winch I would then need 3 way valves.
Yep just a turn of the key fires up the chipper and powers the 7 ton hoist real nice. Set at fast idle the hoist goes up quick.
Also looking at tying a hydraulic capstan winch in too, will mount it for easy rope access at the back of the trailer.
Those are good lifts Rajan. Back in the day when I worked out at our local gym the leg press machine only had enough room to hold 19- 45lb plates which totalled my 855 lift.
Plus the other members would get a little p-offted when I hogged all the plates:D
I leg pressed for 1 rep 855 once on the 45 degree incline leg press machine... 20 years ago though.
Try and carry 1000 lbs of flour on your shoulders for 30 feet like our Manitoba King Trappers do.:D

:lol: I been there done that too. I used a big hand dolly for years and moved a lot of rounds to the curb with it.
Presently on the look out for a Tree Farmer C4 cable skidder in around 1980 or so, not sure when they quit making them. I'll mount a clam grapple to the blade and it will be a good...
Eric you got a good machine there. Those DR's turn on a dime and with that big flat deck you can haul more then my MTruck plus your lower to the ground too.
I remember watching the DR inventor's videos years back when he first introduced it, pretty impressive hauling a 5ft diameter stump round...
For the heaviest rounds I tip the barrow's bucket into dump position and roll the round in, then with one hand pull the bucket back to transport position.
For hauling brush with extensions slipped inside the 4 upright stakes I've stacked a pile of brush on twice the height of the machine, then...
I've owned my 4X4 Muck Truck power barrow for 5 yrs now and still zero problems with it, best piece of mobile equipment for my tree service to date. Never had to go back and repair a customer's lawn for damage.
Still on the fence about buying a mini skid steer or loader, been looking at a...
