You've probably already said this, but what's it's top speed on the road?

It looks like a SP lime spreader, not a lorry with a lime spreader stuck on back. Which is important for farmers perceptions. Think the bonnet out front helps that.

It’s limited to 65 kph, falls into the category for fast tractors like a Fastrac or Unimog. Importantly, it has the positive link steering system and superb brakes, commercial all round.

I don’t travel at that speed, there’s no need to at all, 50kph is plenty. The trailer is well equipped for brakes too, again commercial all round air brakes. It is without a doubt the safest machine I’ve ever driven on the roads in that respect.

Saw these today!

Cab-over Pete · Dec 20, 2021

Lovely. Where are they?

jackstor · Dec 20, 2021

They’re in a storage shed at Carlisle airport, there’s a few of them. They tow big generators about, did I read on hear somewhere about a sale of jcb gear from electric company? Guess it’ll be the 4cx’s and loading shovels in the pictures?

Cab-over Pete · Dec 20, 2021

Could be the same gear.

More of the same, yes. It's a strategic store for nuclear emergency response equipment. Run by Stobart on behalf of EDF energy.

Unimogs made strong money - think around £85/95k each.

That’s next wen he falls out with his Zetor

You wouldn’t want to get too much speed up in wet conditions, that track behind the driver would have you drenched and filthy in no time.

Can’t imagine why it didn’t catch on?

You’ve not got any pics of the Zetros on your website yet Pete!

Cab-over Pete · Jan 17, 2022

No. I’m not too good with the technical side of things!

Except you managed to build the machine!!

Cab-over Pete · Jan 18, 2022

Well that was all hammers and iffy welding skills. I can manage that alright!

Enry · Feb 6, 2022
