MB Trac

[Stephen Blair]

sounds like you need a tractor with a crane on it. Most tractors do about 30mph ( 6 cylinder) are far more manouverable than mogs and MB's and much easier to work alone with, visibility, manouvering and linking machines and trailers

Hi Float, thanks will drop you a pm and go from there. Yes Stephen I would put a grab on it. It will be used for light forestry work (but in difficult locations) and used day to day on running a big chipper and moving wood onto trailers to be extracted. The other option is to have a cheaper tractor and use solely for running chipper and trailer and using in conjunction a 3-5 ton excavator with log grab. For the money of fitting grab to MB it would work out about the same price. Main things I need are low end torque, climbing ability and over 100hp. If I ever solve this I will write a best seller on it.

Anybody else still using MB Trac in the woods?
