Hi

l just joined up so l thought l better say hello,

my name is Andy and l live just about bang slap in the middle of the UK, l am not a farmer nor do l make a living off the land but l do have a 28 acre patch of land that l gradually bringing round to how l want it, l wanted a wood but couldent find one or afford one so l have been busy planting a small 5 acre corner of the land over the last 4 or 5 years, l have dug the the almost mandatery lake in the middle of my wooded area :laughing: and now want to flatten out and mow some paths around this area which is what brings me here, l want to build a small tractor or perhaps tug is a better word, l want to tow round a roller which weighs at a guess 2 tons maybe a bit more, l was searching for home built tractors and found you lot :thumbsup:
now l need the ground to be soft for the roller to have much of an effect on the ground which gives me a problem with the 4x4 l am using as its so heavy it sinks, so what l was thinking was making a lighter 4x4 but with much lower gearing, l have it worked out in my head l just need to draw it and you guys can tell me why it wont work :laughing:, l an not a newcomer to building stuff l have built trailers, water bowsers tube benders, buggies etc etc, just a bit unsure about the relationship between the weight of the vehicle and its towing abilities
anyway hello all
