    With the drop axle down and the fifth wheel where it is I bet you can get by with a 14600 axle
    I would put dual steering boxes or a helper cylinder if you’re going to be doing much in soft ground

    He might be able to get away with 315s on a 20k I know il at least doesn’t seem to care about tire width as long as it’s got enough weight rating on the sidewall….. I know nothing really about the rules in Wisconsin course none of it matters if he can’t get the weight up there
