Looks like the rears sre going to rub.

[mflah87]

yup i was going to say the same thing. how much you think those cost?

[OKYLE]

those wheels ARE rubbing.

i dont even see a gap on em, seems silly...

should put em on the front and back, so we can float the backhoes down the river, like mobile barges....

I can't see that being legal for roading down the road. It looks like the tires are rubbing the fender. I can see that set up being good for working in farmers fields doing drainage etc.

I wonder where they would actually use this......a river?? I dont even think the stabilizers would make a difference with tires being that wide:notworthy

Good point. Any underfoot conditions that would require tires that wide, the stabilizers would sink right into anyway.

(Still, I agree with Wrenchbender. I like it.:) )

Does it come with a cooler full of beer so you can enjoy the float down the river? :drinkup

[buckeye backhoe]

I need a set of those tires for mine, its stuck in the mud alot!

That can't run down the road surely, Those tires look like they are against the frame. My guess is that's an Anniverserary edition set up for looks.
