I have one like this
View attachment 111853
The wheels didn't make it past the first year. Can anyone suggest a way to seal up dry rotted wheels???? Or is simply replacing them my only choice?
I'm afraid that they're going to be some special engineered crap that any'ol wheel from T.S. won't fit on.

Edited to add: I tried FIX A FLAT & just made a big mess

So now I'm wondering..... if I air them up as much as possible & then coat them in this really fast before they go flat.....

Will a bicycle tube fit?

I hate to admit that I had a similar situation a few years ago & tore up 2 tubes trying to get them in right. I ended up taking the tire & a 3rd tube up to the local tire place & asking them to do it for me.

I think that was a smaller mower tire.....

Will a bicycle tube fit

Did you mean..... ACTUALLY 400 ACRES???

Yes. It’s real big.

We had one of those. Really liked it but the wood decayed. The tires stayed good longer than a year. Replace them with bicycle wheels if possible and tires.

I like the gorilla patches. Only thing is, they are sticky on both sides.

I'm always in the market for great plans to do some grand improvements...... ... some vague time in the future...

I had bought 3 rolls of the cheapest welded wire fence that I could get my hands on quickly to fence the back yard in preparation for Birdie's arrival. Very quickly threw it up along the inside of the already standing 3-board oak fence. Didn't have the right screw/washer combo in hand, so just tired it to posts. Since it quickly became clear that she wasn't ever going to be in the yard alone & that we had other pressing issues to work out, I never upgraded to a permanent installation.
This AM I had to do a quick repair on a bit of the electric paddock fence and I got to thinking.....
I've never been happy that my perimeter fence is electric. I totally agree with all of you who insist that electric is great for keeping animals off of a fence or for cross-fencing but that woven wire is the safest choice for perimeters.
So now I'm working on a cup of coffee & wondering if it would be possible/do-able/reasonable to take all this fence down from around the yard & start putting it up in the paddock...
3 rolls won't be NEAR enough to do the pasture. But..... maybe an ongoing project????
I keep saying that I can't have anything smaller than my Eva because goats & sheep will just walk out of an electric fenced pasture.... but maybe, one day????
1 roll a month or so...?


Or maybe I just caught a case of the "I wants" from seeing ALLLLL those goats & sheep at the swap yesterday....
