Just looking at that photo, the stresses involved with the linkages must have been tremendous

[Tom D]

You're both right, when empty the back wheels would go 4 foot in the air under heavy braking, and when full you could only turn the wheel when moving.

 

Awesome chipper though.

i think that is a 1750,mine is the 2150.dean you want a 1000/1200/1400 they are about 6' wide.

 

I've just been and had a look, they are 6ft to the centre of the tyres, which is a silly way of giving the width

 

they are actually an inch off 7ft wide measured from wheel nut to wheel nut.

 

The defender is 2 inch under 6ft
