Changing Jensen road tow to tracked

[Sussex Groundie]

I have a Jensen 518 turntable, thinking of taking the chipper off the trailer and mounting it on a tracked dumper as all my work is "off road".

 

Question is, does anybody want a braked turntable trailer? This is just an idea at developement phase at moment, curious to see if trailer has any value.

 

Also have to source a tracked dumper capable of carrying 1 ton and sell the dumper bin.....

 

Maybe I should go back to bed and annoy the wife

tracked dumpers at that size aren't gonna be that stable by the time you plonk a chipper on top why not just tow it with the dumper and save the hassle

Yes good point, using a Quad at the moment which is a bit light, keep falling down rabbit holes as the engine is outboard.......could do with a shorted draw bar as turning in the wood is a bit tight.

which might be a disadvantage in itself on the other hand it should be capable of mounting a small forestry crane on it and towing a trailer
