Lord Ferguson Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hello Kentman... I deal with loads of fruit farmers - But not that many this time of year (Out of season now - cold store stuff only) - I will contact some of the more helpful ones tomorrow and see what I can come up with for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Like a block lifter?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Its like a pallet fork lift, apart from it as hydraulic clamp on each side which when operated it can lift up tp 8 large boxes/bins 2 x4 high full with produce off the ground its about 12 feet long with a single axle. Mainly used for transporting these boxes from the orchards along roads to the farm cold store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The local fruit farm near here has a County 1174 with 2wd. Think Ford 7810 only 100 times sexier! One day, in the near future, I'll get a picture of it, and post it on here. I promise. S: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
