There are some independent manufacturers that make wheels targeted to this market. It is definitely a landfill use product as opposed to solely soil compaction.

I don't think those are Caron wheels Alan. Without a different picture angle, it's hard to see the tread pattern, but they seem to be different. I think they may be shop built, but it's hard to say.

That first step is a doozy!

Yeah Alan, I've spent way too much time welding new adapters and feet on old garbage packers to make them into dirt machines. Garbage machines tend to run with a replaceable tooth style adapter that looks surprisingly similar to a sheepsfoot configuration. But in those cases, the teeth are designed to chop and cut the garbage. Some older designs used the chevron pattern , but these days, it seems like they prefer those in industrial landfills and transfer stations like you said since they only chop up the garbage and don't pack it. I see what you mean, Caron being a well known name, they get used to describe all trash wheels. I wonder if these started life as a set of the chevron blade style wheels and someone added on to them. Who knows, they could have been built by Caron at one point, and may have been modified later on, or maybe Caron used to make that design. I think set of those would look great on one of those 815Bs your working on.
