Wow this is scary, can't believe i haven't been on here in over 5 years. Well I'm still about and just as mad on tractors as ever, and land rovers. I'm guessing a lots changed in the time I've been gone, 

Ads must be road legal to drive those Landy's now Sean \ \

Yep mate, just hoping for some snow now

welcome home Addy.... your coffee has gone cold and grown a fuzzy beard... although I suspect you've also grown a fuzzy beard since we last saw you mate  :D

Now... come and sit on old Uncle Marky's knee and tell me what you've been up too buddy ?

Hi all, Just thought i would pop in and Say Hi again. Im still into models, but more the real things now. How is everyone, what have i missed. Thanks Adam

You need to consider hydraulics also.

Think about a telehandler, these are designed for oil work, cooling, pumping, moving (valves etc).

A tractor is designed for heavy draft work and hydraulics second, the oil coolers are much smaller.

Also, the pumps are totally different and do not give the same efficiency.

Lift capacity also, the tractor loader options are not as high.

I used to drive a telehandler for three years, it was manouverable, towed well, great visibility etc etc.

Also the boom is made to be attached to the chasis, he 6820 and loader I also used was not, this put huge strain on the chasis frame of the tractor.

Final point, centre of gravity.....

In my opinion telehandlers all the way!!

Jez

I agree Jez, telehandlers for loader work as thats what the main purpors is.

Very nice Set up
