Yes, Barker is a great company, they stand behind their products like few others do. They've helped me several times when I had one of their TT tongue jacks on the TT we used to own, and on the tote tank we've had for several years, that still works great.
Funny you should mention the whole pneumatic wheel thing. Several years ago, me and a few others on here were the first ones to find and install pneumatic wheels on the front and back of these tote tanks. Back ones were easy to get, the front ones were a bit tougher to find. Here is a thread from some time ago where we discussed, completed this modification. Skip to 5th page of that thread, thats where we started talking about this modification (sorry, the picture links in that thread probably do not work anymore).
What was really funny about it: It was not long after we showed on this forum where to get the parts and how to do this, that Barker came out with their new units, that had these pneumatic wheels from the factory! The wheels they use look almost EXACTLY like the pneumatic wheels we used, too! Its as if they were monitoring the forum, and used our idea, work to improve their product, haha. :)
