That's pretty cleaver, although I don't know how legal it would be. But it's doing the job until they get where they're going. Pretty cool!

When I saw the title, I was picturing a slice of a tree (wheel-shaped?) mounted somehow onto the axle. Never did I imagine what was actually on the video. I wonder how much of the tree will be left by the time they get where they're going...

I can't imagine this being legal. However, if you are stuck and in an emergency, fine. Back in civilization, I'd think you need a gas station now before the police pull you over.

I don't think there's a rule on this kind of thing yet. None that I am aware of, that is. The alternative is to leave that trailer behind, and that's even less acceptable to the traffic enforcers. That guy's solution-oriented, I must say
