Your towing rigs and trailers

[oliver1555]

Sounds like you have the perfect tow vehicle for your location and needs. But, just not what would work for us and our farm.

Yup... vehicle taxes and fuel excise are killing in Europe. I need an efficient commuter vehicle with low fuel consumption, and enough grunt to tow whatever the cops let me get away with. The fuel savings (if any) of a smaller commuter car would not weigh up to the cost of paying monthly tax, and upkeep of an additional dedicated tow vehicle. So yes, a sturdy estate with a rubber mat in the boot and a towball behind it, fits my needs perfectly...

Those artificial expenses imposed by the government really suck. No way they should be forcing your choices on what you need to use. :-(

It's a shame that we need artificial roads too.

We don’t need them. We prefer them. And I, for one, don’t mind paying for roads. I don’t like all the unnecessary delays, regulations, red tape and lack of expediency that drives up the costs of building them.

We seem to do fine in America without being so burdened that someone can't own what they need to own. There's a line between society paying for infrastructure and governments controlling things artificially like what was described. But I guess that's why we don't all live in those countries that act like that.

Loaded both my and my dads Jeep’s on the trailer. Had to take the ramps off and strap them down due to the overhang off the rear. It tows extremely well with this setup, a little smoother than just one of the Jeep’s on the trailer.

After 8 weeks finally got the cap installed. Appears to be a quality unit. Ranger Enterprises.

Customer, for the town I live in. Mowed two summers for them 2013-14. Gave that up when we bought acreage in South Dakota.

Here's a C6500 flat bed dump truck that I converted to a light material hauler with fold down and removable sides and gate hauling The L6060 with a 15 foot Woods flex wing mower at an industrial park that I mow.

That sure is beautiful country you're working in.

That sure is beautiful country you're working in.

Thanks! Its “old world” (tight fields with lots of woods surrounding them, small rolling hills).
I was going to say the same about your neck of the woods. Beautiful open vistas.

Hope you’ll join us often in the hay farming sub-forums!
