filling skidder tires with helium

[Okrafarmer]

Your helium skidder would go over like a lead balloon. Nice thought, no results, and lotsa money lost trying, amigo.

I do have a metric cresent wrench.  If i remember right it is marked 300mm.  it came in a tool kit from an old toyota FJ40.  it hung on my garage wall just to show people

[smwwoody]

as for muffler bearings they do exist too.  some of the early 70's dump trucks with heated bodies for hauling asphalt.  the body was heated by the exhaust and at the joint where the body hinged was a part called a muffler bearing.  i had the page from an old walker catalog with the listing for the muffler bearing hanging on the wall next to my 300mm cresent wrench

... heard from another logger that he uses helium in his skidder tires to help in wet areas...
wondering if anyone else has tried this. ???

... I find grass clippings work much better.

The best way to get across wet areas is to wait for them to freeze deep and drive over the ice. Otherwise, if you can't wait that long (or you live in Florida) cut a lot of conifer boughs and throw them in the mud and you can drive over them. The heavier your machine, the more boughs you need.  ;)

When I have to get across a wet hole,I use rocks. But this is on my own land and I will use that trail often.

Yes, that works well too.
