Ifor gx9x4, very nice trailer to use. 👍

I don't they're the same unfortunately.

Double check on the brackets, you may be surprised. 
 

My Sherpa fits perfectly with the bucket tipped down into a little 750kg trailer. You barely know it’s behind the truck. Perfect when you need to take the Sherpa to load the truck and then bring it back.

Giant and Avant are the same I have been told,

Then they are the same as Cast, they and MutiOne use the Avant type also.

Same what?

Been looking at getting a set of narrow, grass profile tyres for my Sherpa and the prices from Sherpa are really quite staggering… 

 

Does anyone know if there are any rims/tyres that you can buy elsewhere that will fit?

Sherpa did have some cheap ones from a UK supplier rather than genuine. Hence how they were doing deals throwing narrow tyres in, etc. What were you quoted?

Headstock.

£609 + VAT from compact loaders, that’s a lot of money for what they are?!  
 

Had a look online and I can get the tyres for around £30 each, it’s just finding the right rims. Most that size are 4 stud, the Sherpas are 5.

I'll get a photo of my headstock and some measurements,see what people think.

Be nice if it is the same as them but I had a look at the cast online, didn't seem the same, I'm more than happy to be wrong though 👍🤞

Try fielders at stowmarket made some good rims for my alpine

£30 per tyre is worryingly cheap are they up to the job?
