  1. @Charlieh Do you have any vids with the duals attached, it does look excellent. Codlasher - I think it is still the case to some extent, I've had to adapt a few attachments. These alpine tractors' compactness can be a disadvantage - I've found that there is so little room at the back that things bash into each other very quickly. I had to weld up a new link-lock for my McConnel forklift because the original was too big. ( it can be seen on the grass in the last photo) I would love to see what attachments other people have made for their tractors. Also, I have a question for people with the Eos/Valiant/cobram tractors that have front loaders fitted - Where and how are the hydraulics for the loaders plumbed into the system? Photos would be very helpful.
  2. First post, been lurking for ages but this thread made me want to show mine - a yellow variant. Had it for a couple of years and love it. Used around a slopey plot of 10 acres. The extra wheels aren't strictly necessary but when carrying something tall and heavy across hills, the wheels give add a bit of confidence. I was originally was going to get an Avant loader but even when test driving it on the gentle slopes the vendor looked a little too cautious so I then came across these alpine tractors. I'm slowly buying and making/adapting various attachments but it is an expensive business. They are amazingly strong, this one is 50hp and easily picks up the 1.5 metre flail which weighs 410kg. It can just manage a ton bag of sand on pallet forks with the aid of a hydraulic top link. I wish there was more information about these things on the internet, there's a few Italian forums that go into detail but the google translator is not really up to the job, ideally it would be great to have a way of sharing ideas and plans relating to these tractors. I have just finished adapting a concrete hopper to go on the rear lift so I can transport the stuff around the slopes.
