New Hollander Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I am a bit concerned about the turning circle. Seems like they bolted it straight to the Supersteer. I could see a 1/32 conversion coming Edited February 12, 2021 by New Hollander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 That thing has absolutely no lock what so ever, There is a different video on Youtube, Which I tried to share but Facebook have moved the goal post's again so no one can share to groups, I took a couple of seen grab's, First is him steering left around the bend, Second is AFTER he has reversed back a bit to take a cut,??? but is practically still in the same position, And check out the strain on that front offside tyre,??? Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I must admit, i don't really see the point of it myself. In their day the triple d would have been a tremendous tractor, but it was born out of necessity due to there not being anything with enough power and grip available from the manufacturers. But we've moved on a bit since then.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Looking at the photos again, I’m wondering if they were a pair being dismantled for export or for breaking and someone thought they’d hook the 3pl together and drive round the yard... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Just read The article in Joe’s link. They haven’t even had the electrickery sorted for controlling the front tractor, which doesn’t even run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Social media sales gimic nothing more, and credit where it's due it's probably worked given how much people are talking about it and sharing it on the book of face etc......long term though I very much doubt those tractors will be staying together. Prepared to eat my hat though if someone buys it and finishes it off as a tandem tractor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post more photos and details of the tractor in due course. This was it's first time out of the workshop about a month ago up at Leyburn prior to being publicly unveiled at the Great Yorkshire Show on Tuesday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
