NewHolland2 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Finally found what I was looking for. I think the bonnet looks a bit like the Doppstadt Trac below...... *Picture "burrowed" from farmphoto* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Does look like a beast but with 65k and 150 gee gee's under the bonnet I can't help thinking the rules or lack of around tractor/trailer/cargo etc are being pushed way to far compared to those the haulage industry have to adheer to with huge consequences if they dont.. .. ..

ihatepoundland Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I think this model of Fastrac does not have equal sized wheels - if they get it right, shouldn't a tractor thats indepentantly sprung with larger tyres pull better than a conventional? or is it the weight distribution, gearing or tread? I guess the highspeed tyres are crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I had one of those Doppstadt's on hauling one day with an 18t sludge ejector trailer. . . .it got people out of the way on the lanes of Wiltshire I can tell you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the highspeed tyres are crap I read that somewhere else too, to try and improve traction with bigger rear wheals and improve lock with smaller front wheels - what does that remind you of?

Deere-est Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Nothing like a bit of victimisation eh Powerstar!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I'd like to test this against other tractors of similar size to see how well it pulls against these MF 8460 and the Fendt 924 and NH TG8020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 And then I'd like a race between said tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 We all know there would'nt be any contest in that fact just be interesting to see which one can pull moer and is better in cultivation situations as that is what those size tractors will most likely do most of there lifes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Nothing like a bit of victimisation eh Powerstar!!? Quite right, nothing better, especially with a front mounted buckrake, sheer panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
