alpine tractor

[Stephen Blair]

Hi guys, does anyone here have an alpine tractor.

Looking for input and advice, i have always went for the biggest thing i could afford but i really fancy one of these wee tractors. I would love one of the articulated ones with the back body. I was out in Italy this year(Barga)and firewood is there way of life, i couldnt believe where these tractors had been going.

Stevie PM Chris Sheppard on here i looked into them a while ago and he deals in them as well as having run one himself.

Hi Stevie,

 

As Matt said, I used to run a 48 hp Carraro in the woods with a 3.5 tonne winch and little forwarding trailer - used to run it along side the county 1164 with roof mount and between the two machines could cover most sites. Used to take the carraro places I wouldn't dare take an ATV and it was only on fairly narrow wheels.

 

Since stopping working for myself I now work for the UK importer of the Carraro tractors so if you've any questions just let me know

I bought one a year ago, a 50 hp bcs, its very good for small sites, I have a loader with a grab and a 42KN winch for it, It goes on a trailer behind the landy legaly too. Its funny though , I'm now looking at getting the sort of kit you have, I'll keep the alpine though.

could you stick up some pics mate, that would be cool.

Whereabouts are you in the Borders Tom? I think I passed a BCS (blue ones?) w/loader working a roadside copse just west of Duns a month or two back. I nearly bought a Carraro off Lee Lightburn a few years ago and keep wishing i had.

Heres a few of my old one - no action pics though as I was always on my tod.

what are you looking at buying?

We have had an 80hp Vithar (BCS) for nearly 5 years and its a top piece of kit.

We use it for winching, cultivation with our stone burier, flail mowing, have put a post knocker on it and also use a single furrow plough on it for hedge cams and trenching out for newt and rabbit fences etc.

All in all, its a veritable workhorse.

I also recommend giving the lads at Kilworth Tractors, Ashby-de-la-Zouch a bell, their after sales service is top notch.
