Compact tractor

[treefrog]

Does anyone use it for arb work. What can they lift etc. thinking could be usefull and open up other avenues of work. Was thinking about skid steer etc but they seam to be more money and abit more limited and more expensive. Did have people picking up timber from bigger jobs but thats not likey to happen now so need to find away of saving my back.

What's your thoughts

I do love the look of those Alpines!

If you have some timber you want taken away I can bring a little allterrain forklift lifts a tonne. Ok on rough surface not great in mud. Or can bring 4x4 kubota tractor good in mud but only lifts 250kg or so. A 7 series bobcat lifts 800kg but weighs 2700kg so heavy to take to site.

Just have to ask a questions over that timber trailer.

 

Would it be possible to run one of those on a stand alone engine mounted on the trailer rather than trailer hyd? Was always thinking of a new project next year of building a timber trailer with grab that could be towed with a land rover or 4x4.

 

Or do you think the engine would have to be too big? Was thinking of a compact engine.

 

Sorry for the derail. Just asking when I remember to.

Use a defender and put a hydraulic PTO on the gearbox

We had this on site great little machine but i think I would rather have a bobcat but the bonus of a small tractor is that you can use it for other jobs

This is out little kubota

thinking About putting a loader on it but would a boxter etc.. Be better for getting in back gardens I can never make up my mind!

Yeah that's ok for landy users, but what if not. Like hillux users? A seperate engine to drive a hyd pump to run the grab. Would it be worth it or not, and if so what would be the size of engine that would be needed. What do these grabs need to run from? Or the pumps.

Yes it does work we have done it with our little timber trailer on the back of a Hilux just make sure it's a good one or it will be really slow
