I just put one of these together a few hours ago and I am an engineer. I have no idea what the alloy is and not sure why it would matter, but the tubing is substantially thick walled, the bolts plates are about 5/16 thick and the welding is pretty adequate. There are no flexing issues when everything is tightened up. It's a good solid structure with a nice paint job. Hope that helps you put.

Has anyone put wider/fat/turf/balloon tires on this logging arch to help get it thru the mud? Any NT parts to do that?
1 answer-
StrongwayExpert7· 8 years ago
A wider tire would not be recommended as it could rub on the skidding arch. Any alterations may void the manufacturer's warranty.
