Sorry for the off topic - but John - I sent you an email and a pm through Navitron a week or so ago - did you get it?

When buying my MB Tracs advice given was to go for the 6 cylinder engine as it is standard in Merc trucks and check out the gearbox as it can be the achilles heel. If you dont buy it I would also be very interested

 

It's only the engine BLOCK that is the same as the truck engine.

 

The engine BLOCK for 4 cylinder engine in the 900, was also fitted in a 7.5 tonne truck.

I seem to remember the 900 is 90hp ok in the forest but will struggle if you try to haul timber on a trailer on the road. With a bigger engine you tend to change gear less which in turn saves the gearbox.

Put us out of our misery. Have you gone for it or is it up for grabs

[highclimber&timberfallers]

Still weighing up my options between this or a new alpine tractor which i can run a good flail for doing scrub cleareance and still run a good winch.

 

There is no 3 point linkcage which has put me of a bit because it will be hard to make it pay for its self with just a winch and grab, where as the alpine i can do topping and flailing for rich horsey people and still use it on the railway. Plus i can tow it on the back of my truck!

 

Swings and roundabouts

 

Anyway its not available till December so i dont have to rush. If im not interested i will let you have his phone number by email.
