Is this too much to ask of a baby tractor.

Is it four wheel drive? I cannot see a post about that or any sign in the picture.

If it is then some weight on the front would help, if not then as much as possible on the back without hindering the steering ability.

 

I would not like to venture into damp woodland with 2WD. 4WD would also help controlling the tractor downhill with a load behind.

 

With that in mind, is that a roll bar I see over the bonnet. Bilke-user gives the scenario of being pushed downhill by a six ton load with a right hand bend. Classic jackknife and overturning situation with six tons of logs completing the job.

 

The tractor may have a special brake hydraulic coupling linked to the pedals. Best to look for that first before the spool valve option.

 

What is the make and model?

 

Lamborghini R1.55 and yes it's 4WD

Hi guys, I have an international 674, been looking on interbet for what size trailer it can pull, I wabt it for the use mainly on road I.e transorting logs from different parts of farm and bringing wood back frim neighbouring farms. Want a tipping trailer e.g like a grain trailer with high ish sides.

Any ideas would be muxh appreciated! !

Just my view but not much room for error there. I would be happy with a 70 hp plus. especially with that lot on greasey roads. I am sure it can do it but it's fine until something happens and someone gets hurt then you have to prove its a good safe set up.

Slope in this pic doesn't look too bad, but it's a fairly steep, long climb.

Method used is to load a little from the bottom of the hill, then some from the middle then finish the load to what you want at the top of the hill. A good brash mat will see you fine for traction, but don't attempt this if you don't have forestry guarding.....either that or look at repairs every trip
