Kiwi6920 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 one of my customers, seems to work well this rig More pics mate, looks like a high lift set up ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 will fish out another pic what it is, its not front 3pt hitch its something made in a local workshop (my opposition for hyd hose service).....they did a great job its like a loader subframe, but upside down, cylinders on top, and crowd rams, the hitch on the front is a massive version of a euro quickhitch, evolved over the years as the buck rake goes from tractor to tractor i think that buckrake started life on a CVX130 with a NZ made loader (bullloader).....made in waimate, very solid......the CVX front axles never survived, next he used a 7920IVT and loader with the same rake i think, again, front axle issues, and i think it had warranty work on the engine and box (updates) this operater don't like artic loaders, and likes building steep stacks (minimise crop loss), this set up lifts high, and accomadates a big rake, it un hooks fast, loads onto a truck trailer for transport to the next farm behind one of 6 volvo G88 silage trucks that chase a jag850speedster and potinger 1251 rake the contractor is not known for building things light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Now that is one hell of a combonation looks very well built tooo now bet thats fun on the pit wouldnt take long to push a 14 ton trailer load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 it shifts those truck loads in 3 passes, first pass for the bulk of the load, 2nd and 3rd pass to tidy up the half tonne left that fell off the bukerake the first time ha ha! can create lazy operators, but this one is good, the tractor stays moving till the next truck arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
