not me we are currently dragging a trailed sprayer around but due to the weather and swamp-like conditions we thought a low ground pressure jobby might be the way forward as we could not get on at all last winterSo last decade, you need something with 300 HP and weighing 18Tonnes loaded now.
80 or 90 hp 4wd on big tyres with a mounted sprayer .

Avoid the older 3-4D buggies as their engines weren't man enough for the job. Asking a 1.6 litre NA diesel to move that kind of weight around when it would barely shove a mk2 Escort down a tarmac road was never going to end well. The later Land Rover engined models are better and last longer. Great lightweight vehicles though
5D has a turbo 1.8 (90hp) but still is marginal on power when on row crops

Would better gearing help? The last Stealth I drove had a 5 speed box, that's all. One gear too short and the next one too long.

what is an RB 15/65?I know they’re heavier than an Agri buggy but have you considered an RB15/16? No where near as heavy as a lot of the 6 cylinder machines a lot cheaper and on big tyres will virtually walk on water.
