ploughmaster Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 That looks a bit of a beast! I would think it would be a reasonable alternative to a large loading shovel. In the US it is fairly common to use big artics with a front mounted blade, where over here we would normally use a tracked machine for such a job. Using a high capcity loader on an artic is the next step on I suppose. I would think a dedicated loading shovel would be better all round though.

jdc Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Probably not a bad idea as such, but seems like a lot of tractor for only a 3 tonne lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Probably would be used occasionally and hence be cheaper than an artic tractor for field work and loading shovel for lifting and shifting. I just wonder how a tractor already known to be a little fragile could support a loader. I thought it shows a tractor is never too big to have a loader!
