Small forwarding trailer.

[Woodworks]

What sort of size forwarding trailer and crane would a 55 hp compact tractor comfortably handle? And what do you chaps recommend?

 

Thanks

I would not recommend it but I pull a Farma I think about 8 ton capacity with my little Ford 2120 tractor. 45 hp.

I don't fill it up and put even less on if I am towing up hill but it is surprising how well it pulls. I don't venture onto public roads.

I have to do a couple of miles on road to get back to base so I best not overdo it

Try looking at these,

Vreten 700

Wiemer 5

And there are also some via Riko.

 

I'm in the same boat, looking for a trailer to go behind a bigger hp alpine.

If you find any in the 4-5 t range that can have driven wheels I'm interested!

You will be wanting something along these lines. Mine is pulled by the Zetor, which has 57 horses under the rusty flap that looks like a bonnet if you squint really hard.

Yep I do want something like that. What is it?

The crane is a 3.8D, and the trailer is rated at 5 tons (i think), and it is made by Farma.

Does the Zetor manage easily as even though our tractor is 55 hp it is quite light at 1320kg
