This may be down to excessive speed are there burn marks on flakes.

We've had a 4 ton Kramer for 18 months, excellent machine. Our last Agri spec JCB had 4 gearboxes before we finally pushed it onto a lorry, but the plant spec one we have in the silage pit is bombproof.

Depends what you are going to do with it , a Small loading shovel will be a lot better buy if you do not need to lift things to a great height

 

[LLLLuke1]

Are you looking for just weight, or weight and reach?

If like the jcb it was going to be most reliable then yes. Only the one loadall here so has to be fit 365 days

 

[jon9000]

Weight mainly....

Need something good on road which could pull a trailer

7meter reach is ample


Could do with 2 to 3 ton bucket for wheat or spuds
