Sssh, don't tell everyone - I'm watching that

Thats been up before. I can't make up my mind about it comes with a spare gearbox,stearing, clutch makes me think that its gone pop or is about too. Crane is a little short and i doubt it will lift more than a tonne close in. For 2.5k though it may be a fun toy.

That was my thinking - We're on with a fair bit of skidding at the mo and it would have made a good little stacking machine.

I've got one but with a winch fitted which I'm using on a job at the moment I will post some pictures tomorrow

If you can put the skidding winch on the crane tractor you winch, skid and load all with one tractor. Only have to get out to unset the chokers. Unfortuantly that tractor looks like 2wd and if your skidding its more than likely no good.

That's what I used to do with the County when I still had it. Not sure the Belarus would be up to a lot of skidding, but a bit of gentle loading might not kill it.

 

Most of the Old Belarus look like that, I'm failry sure that one is 4wd - the way the drive gets to the front wheels is just a bit different to conventional tractors.

 

As it is, we might have another plan in the making.

My appoligies it is 4wd the front tires are cleeted. Loading might not kill it as long as you don't pick up too much. ]Does you plan involve buying a big valtra with a crane on it. If so that is s good but expensive plan.
