Which of the 4x4's can pull 3.5t?

And sorry about the awful commentary on this vid:blushing:

We did this day after day, and then loaded the trailer the same- I have been doing this for years to my poor landy, and it just comes back for more...

 

 

you seam to have a winch rope strung across a road/track between a tree and a stuck Land Rover, to top that off you have the rope at cyclist, bike, car occupant height and then to top that off even more you have nothing to make the which rope clearly visible to any road/track user to stop them and seemingly no one stood on the road/track to stop users etc.

 

I have to say regardless of it being a public road or a private track I am truly shocked at the danger potentially posed to others needlessly

A very presumptuous post if you don't mind me saying so

i useto love landrovers until i drove a landcruser 79. if top gear strugle to destroy a hilux they would fail with one of these. when i was in austraila we replaced a chasie in one i had done 5,000,000 km on dirt. when we unbolted the cab,engine fell of the chassie. hilux chasies brake even quicker. So go for a landcruser 70. andyou are not squashed up agants the door as in a landi

I would have one of those like a shot, over a landrover any day.

I think the main wholesale supplier is in Dubai for the LC78/79. Have to be careful on EU/ROW specs though.

Looks great but what does the trailer and crane weigh when empty ?

 

urr not entirely sure. I would have said by guesswork that is not much more than my 12ft tipper with mesh sides which weighs roughly 1350kg.

 

I reckon about 1450kg, when brimmed with timber it is really heavy, the first photo is not it full really, was on a farm and couldnt pull it up some of the hills round the headland.

 

It has a 12ft bed (14ft total, 2ft of crane and engine). I worked out when stacked to 3,3ft high, allowing for air gaps there is just over 4 ton of timber on it, though you can get more on with ratchet straps. moves a surprising amount of timber for its size and weight. You would have to go HGV or forestry tractor/trailer combo to have something that is significantly more productive and would also be significantly more expensive.

 

@TOMD

 

They were made by jas wilson, not any more, apparently not financially viable as they cost too much to produce. And yes there is a lot of added bracing on the front of the chassis. Also pocket bolsters legs etc.

 

Judging by the stresses when lifting at full reach I would say the trailer definitely needs all of the bracing it has.

You could put the whole lot on a public weigh bridge for about £6 you would know where you stand especially if working in a vosa area. The rig is very versatile you could deliver 1/2 cu metre bags which would weigh less than 200kg when dry. The out fit is also good for 50 plus mph which would be difficult with a tractor unless spending lots of money.
