Botex big foot

[jamesmerriman7]

Looking to upgrade from my botex 8t to a bigger trailer and have come across the big foot with a 570C crane. Looks a well built very strong trailer with wide wheels 600’s and crane with a 2T lift. My only concern is it’s quite heavy weighing around 4T empty. I do a fair bit of road work and wanted to know wot it’s like on the road and how much horse power is needed to pull it... currently have a McCormick MTX 120hp tractor ? cheers ?

My red rock weighs about 4 ton, used to pull that with a 95hp 6400. I think you’ll be fine. Once loaded you might slow down a bit though..

Just change gear more ofter is all you have to do. Alot easier now with power shift and everything else not like it was years ago with no synchromesh gears.
