the answer is no.
You can try and create all the exceptions you want.....the answer is still no. It's the wheel.
No, you dont 'need' heavy wheels on heavy equipment.
why?
just add a weight, the exact amount you want.
why make the turning of the weight a drain???
why stress the tranny and bearings.
A wheel is designed to roll and move, not weigh down the load.
if you want to stick to the road, put weights in the trunk or the foot wells.
