That looks very similar to a tractor that a tree contractor near me uses. He has a trailer with hydraulic wheel heights, you can lift the wheels so the whole trailer lies on the floor and you can walk straight in the back or wheelbarrow loads of wood straight in. It also has a timeber crane on it somewhere (maybe that goes on instead of the walk in trailer) not sure though, not seen it around in ages.

Werent Trantors based on a Land Rover chassis or something? Seem to recall something along those lines.

Ah just googled it http://www.lr-mad.co.uk/trantor.html

nice one andy, when it passed the cafe i thought it was a landrover with a tractor on its back, it was all part of a vintage rally, it was the scraggiest of them all but everyone was admiring it the most, it has 3 seats in it as well. here are the others:001_cool:the last massey had 3 chairs in the transport box for the old farmers, quality.
