riko fast tow trailer

[dent]

Wasnt there a member on here who documented all the upgrades required to make it usable due to poor welding and to thin materials used in paces think it was on the stabiliser legs and crane

It may be a different traailer but think it was a riko fast tow

One of these with a crane on would be a very useful set up

We have a Riko fast tow, very good trailers I must say and well set up.

Plus It can pick up lumps of wood that would seriously surprise you. It also has a sliding bed so you can adjust the nose weight on the tow ball to stop overloading.

That last picture looks a little top heavy!

Very handy looking kit, would work well with my landys for sure but the new price just puts me off a bit when for similar money other options present themselves.

That's a very steep price 😬

It is dear but its a multi use trailer...with a small crane! Cant help thinking a mini skid steer & tipping trailer would be more versatile.

Your right it was a little wobbly driving home that night;) had the lads following behind to give load status reports just in case I took a corner too sharp. It works great with the Landy the td5 pulls it like a train and you sometimes forget you have a couple of tonne on the back end until you touch the brakes.

I found a second hand trailer which is rare but it was less than half the price of a new one.

I don't think I could justify buying a new one at that price but they are very useful and well thought out trailers.

That's 1 of my thoughts at the moment using the digger but means you always have to make a trip back to site to collect the machine or run a second vehicle.

If I'd seen one for a sensible 2nd hand price I'd definitely be tempted, you were lucky for sure!

 

Think this looks a nice set up from Germany.

Depending on the size of the towing vehicle and or the size of the machine going to site, it could go on the vehicle use it to load up and go tip off. It could get places vehicle & forwader cannot! Nothing is perfect I suppose its about choosing the most versatile set up...or buy everything you want!!!

Thought they were designed to carry the tractor (alpine type/compact) to site? They are a lot of money but what other trailer does what the fast tow does? Crane/tipper/transporter/ load balancing, out of my price range but would love one!😀
