Tote Wheels

Where do people source these then? Been looking in super cheap mitre10 etc, but they only got sack trolley wheels, im after something like a ride on lawn mowers front wheels.

Any pointers ideas are very welcome, cheaper the better i might add

I got mine from wheelsplus in Napier area they were $75 for the plastic hub ones think they have a website

they are good to deal with too

Wheelco in tauranga has a good range. Minimum you want are the ones with 8" rims with the 16"x6.5" tyres. Or even better (at very bottom of list) are the ones with the 18"x8.5" tyres.

If I was going to build another tote I wouldn't scrimp on the wheels. The wheels Casey and Knoxie have put up are good. They work well generally but I find they get stuck in the sand (esp if its soft) and if you're on a slight incline you need at least a couple of people to help pull your ski out.

I used a tote in auzzie recently with the balloon style wheels on it. You can pull your ski yourself over soft sand without an issue. However they don't really meet your "cheaper the better" mantra.

You'd need to get the 42cm at a minimum.

Cheers guys, bought an light weight irrigation wheel, plastic centre no bearings, and about30cm wide, $10 nit bad, but only the one, will have a look for a second now, but its what i was after.
Agree with you dick, wider the better, used a few with the fat wheels and easy as to pull over sand.

Will keep a look out for a second now, must be a farmer round here with one
