compact tractor and forwarding trailer what sort of output per day on say 3 meter firewood with 3 ton trailer and compact tractor 200 meter extraxtion

[Chris Sheppard]

Varies a fair bit but used to aim for around 10 loads a day when we had ours, but on the whole we'd be pulling quite a bit further than that. Best I can remmber was 26 loads in a longish day.

 

That was a 4T Weimer trailer that used to carry about 2.5T of 12ft firewood being pulled behind a 30odd hp Kubota.

 

With the smaller kit, the presentation of the timber becomes a lot more important as you don't have the reach or power of a bigger machine.

Hi ,i run a Yanmar 4WD with powershift which is a import and near mint and is 22HP under lid ,has a creeper box which is handy for hauling but would stick to 30+HP if using a Forwarding trailer .

The Yanmar engine and gearbox are used in the compact John Deere Tractors too .
