It’s disappointingly easy to have to compromise when you’re rapidly running out of cash!

Know that feeling, if I was loaded I would be in my own bed tonight rather than hanging out in a premier inn.

Dare I ask why?

I think singles. I asked about duals but without going into too much detail it wouldn’t really work for all situations.

We can get a 750/45 22.5 under the back and put the 600 existing rears on the front.

Jon at Moreton’s asked why I want to change them at all because what’s on it now are a very capable tyre, but I want it on the best we can possibly get right from day one.

I did consider the possibility of changing the rear diff and going for a 750 26 of some sort but if I’m honest I can’t run to that expense just now. I will give that some thought when we have to change again.

An important fact to consider is that the tare weight of the Zetros is nearly 8 tonnes less than the Xerion. For all it’s weight, the Xerion on 800/70 38s travelled very well on worked ground, and in theory the Zetros should tread lighter on the ground. If I find that not to be the case then I’ll be a bit disappointed.

For really tender ground I’ve still got the Big A if that’s what customers prefer.

Hope you were sat down when they gave you the price for the tyres!

They are expensive lumps, no doubt, but after years of buying tyres for Big A and Xerion, they actually seem cheap!

They were a good old piece of kit. I suppose that’s what I’m trying to do now.

Non standard, think theyve changed the rear axle , Fair job. More recent creation.

It's an upside down Milmaster loader, masquerading as a drawbar to pull the Zetor Crystal loader tractor

1st thought the Unimog had a home brewed Air Suspended rear axle.
