Our mini forwarding outfit

 

Nice set up. Fantastic things those Alpine Tractors. Out of Interest how do you

get around not having to have it all guarded up being so exposed. When i did my FMOs the guy had a bit of a tantrum and refused to do it till the side widows and back windows were guarded as we could get logs in the cab.

I will have to look into that good point - the trailer is designed to be used behind a quad so the issue would still be relevent:confused1:

i guess so long as you have risk assessed it and gone so far is as 'reasonably practicable'...

I've seen lots of these quad trailers and often wondered about the guarding issue. I've neary got logs in the cab when forwarding a fair few times. It only takes a moment of confusion to pull the stick the wrong way and hit your self with the logs.

Its a valliant tractor from Kilworth its got artic steering so is ideal in thinnings, and its fully road legal. Had an old carraro before this which was brilliant but had to let it go as it had hydraulic pipes insde the cab.
