    Well, I won't get into a "my disc is bigger than your disc" ;)with @Cattleman84 but we used the big rice stubble discs. A couple of farmers tried welding the discs on permanently but they chewed up some drive tires. Those stubble discs are stout. And heavy.

    I didn't sandwich it just screwed it on the outside, makes it much easier to pull it out of any soft ground.Discs are too hard to come by, and I make woks out of the big ones, no way am I setting a trailer on one. lol

    Yep, probably more durable than the simple boards we use, but it really doesn’t take much to keep the trailer from sinking into the mud.

    Use channel Iron long enough for both feet to sit in the channel and weld it to the feet..

    I thought it was stolen by Promethius.... and if it was invented, how do you reinvent something that has only one form?

    He probably meant 'wheel', but got flustered.
