The Als and Wombats at Ularu

Ruth, we are heading your way, but not until October on our way back from wherever. Will it still be as busy? Am worried about the winds then, but we will persevere. Hope to meet you and put a face to all the words of wisdom,
Lynn2

I see that wolfie is logged on, just being a bit quite. Give him time and he'll fire up again. He must have reached the peak of his bio rythym cycle the other day...lol

Hi Lynn2, look forward to seeing you. Shouldn't be too busy and hopefully the winds will have blown out during September. Hahaha!
Ray, see you haven't managed to get the halo up yet!

Caravanners channel Nudie or they were.........

do they have cell call?

We're on UHF 18 Nudie - give us a hoy if you're around Clare on Monday the 19th.

Rolande, have a set on now and did the Simpson trip with them and no drama. There had been a couple of posts from others after I asked but not much of substance.

It was funny at Oodnadatta a guy observed the tyres and said he had been into the workshop there and the whole corner of the shop was full of them. What are they? I don't know but the Innaminka dealer is reputed to be using nothing else except on order. That is from our local workshop which is 4x4 and farm vehicle oriented.

They are a more open tread than the BFG ATs I have been near and throw clay out well. The ones I fitted seem the same specs you have there but a little down on plies I would have thought. They have some LT heavy duty ply rating just round the corner if not those.

I paid $172 including GST I think it was which makes a nice attraction. I am learning of them all the time and seeing more around servicing the rural community - 2/3 preice of BFGs so if they get a few ks up they will be great, perhaps a little noiser that I was used to with the Bridgestones that are sooo easy to pierce with odd stones.

JohnR,
Thanks for the info, the tyre guy I saw had 8 ply on the floor for a little less. He said they are an Ameican Co. who now also buy tyres from a Chinese manufacturer. The 10 ply are coming in a container as we speak. He has fitted them to logging contractor vehicles and only had returns with 100mm lumps of blue metal stuck throgh them, would find it hard to find a tyre that didn't split with the type of stuff they through down around pine plantations. Hasn't had to replace due to failure of the tyre yet. May give them a try and compare in say 12 months time.
Thanks again
Rolande

Rolande, the local crew will fit what you like, but their opinions of the Hercules are very high. They seem to be of a good standard. They have been going well on mining company vehicles that are round this way. The ATs that I have clean well and get a grip. They are meatier than BFGs and have some muddies too when I want any for one of the other utes.

JohnR,
Have put my name on a couple of 10 ply when they come in, thanks again
Rolande
