Looks like a good laugh and very useful to the right person!

Says it has 3 point linkage? I must be blind as I can't see it.

 

As soon as I looked at the pic I though land rover.

 

Would scare the hell out of me, I'm not sure what it would be used for, most tractor trailers I know of can't go that fast as it would shred the tyres.

They were a pretty clever bit of kit, predecessor to the Fastrac really but lacking the field performance of the later machine. They were also quite short on power as well, sub 100hp 4 pot I think.....

Some of the Trantor team I think went onto the Agrover project [110 with portal axles, tipping body & rear linkage - think I saw one on the front of a recent Land Rover mag in the newsagents...] Now there's something I fancy!

 

I think the linkage & PTO are hidden by the winch...

they were the original fasttraks but apparently there the most awefull things to drive and like doing wheelies at inappropriate and dangerous times

A friend of mine has one of these that he has been using to move his rack saw around the steam rallies. It does go like stink on the road will do about 50 i think he said. Its biggest down fall is it isnt heavy enough and struggles with traction. It is fitted with air brakes pto and linkage to use the linkage you have to have the back door open and the rear floor folded up so the linkage will rise and fall properly. His has got a perkins 4.236 engine the gearbox is the same as a bedford tk and there are loads of landrover series bits fitted to it.

I think? these were also sold in India/ sold rights to India/ built in India/ still built in India?

PS

Agrover= Poor Unimog copy:lol:

an engineer at uni had one of these in his collection of tractors, he lets a few of us have a drive one day........pants of steel is all i can say. Imagine driving ur mog or fast trac flat out with a series one driving style......
