The trailer track frame has no top or bottom, and has a center pivot, so if it gets hung up in a hole or log, the whole track flips over the obstruction. Deliberately sloppy design, clever. And if you throw a track, no tensionaer to mess with.
Looks "almost" like an Athey, but details differ, so it might be a competitor.
Notice how the 60 bounces, coil springs instead of the later transverse leaf, thus no friction, so no shock absorbing. I always figured 60 skinners carried airsick bags.
Those Athey + similar trailers always have loose tracks, apparently by design. The tracks don't have to engage a drive sprocket, so it's not as critical. Could be the slack track also helps if you get a log stuck in there (the same u/c was used on logging arches).
wow it's old but hasn't really lost it's touch,it can still pull stuff just nicely
