Is his Little Dipper actually a skid loader? When I worked at the fertilizer plant 20+- years ago they had a Little Dipper loader and it was the size of a small skid loader but worked like a reversed 2 wheel drive tractor with the loader over the two drive tires (7:00 X 15") with smaller rear tires and it turned like a combine with a rear axle the style of a combine. With something like that putting the size tire he was talking about on instead of the other size it would be like running with the wheels in a hole all the time with the bucket end setting low and would efectly lower the bucket lift height about a foot. Now if it is actually a skid loader (newer than the Little Dipper at the plant) then putting on the smaller, shorter, tires he would reduce the already to low ground clearance. So why did no one else visit that idea? To me that would be more important than tire design. Like taking your tandem axle truck with 20 or 22" tires and putting on 16" tires from your pickup. Loose ground clearance and load capacity and ability to get to speed and fuel milage.
