I'd say slower than Botex.

Youtube them, they are real slow.

 

I run it off a Fastrac with an oil Flow of 110 litres per minute, so plenty oil[/quote

 

Interesting. 110l is a lot of oil i wonder if the restriction is in the valve block. I was thinking of a KTS roof mount.

How have you plumbed it to the tractor? You're unlikely to get more than 80l/min through a standard spool, and the non return valve fitted to the trailer's pipe work can also slow oil flow.

Definitely ask to see one working before you splash the cash.

Thought I saw a secondhand farmi trailer on eBay for about 30 k. Will have to ring up and get a price. Does anyone have a drive trailer. I have it in my head that it's going to be amazing and I'm going to be able to go anywhere. Do you think I'm over estimating it. Any one with experience.

Yes i saw that too.

 

I've seen drive trailers push themselves and the valmet their on out of deep snow and wet mud over in Finland. Never driven one myself though. Just make sure you have a big enough tractor or than can wind up the back end.

Massively better than non drive trailer but not as good as purpose-built...

I did have a nokka drive trailer done very thing we asked of it,but the best trailer was the timberliner (if they still make them)

Your right, i was talking whizz.

I get 80l/min (i read the book).

 

Still a fair old flow, and still a slow crane.
