200HP with a loader needed for hire ASAP

[JMTHORNLEY]

In a bind with a job that we always do and can't get the usual tractor to pull the loads.

Got a 60+ mile round trip to cart bales, (just don't even ask) and some VERY big hills that sap all power so we run the 2170 JCB and usually a 4220 with a loader but can't get it.

Can anyone help me out as to where might have one or an idea on how to get them home or if anyone would load up for me at the other end ect? Will have the best part of 300 to shift

Thanks all

Think everywhere will be the same. How about thinking outside the box with a Unimog. Try A C Price or South Cave

Issue is loading them at the end we have to pick them up from?

You could just hire a telehandler from any plant hirer to load in the field?

Still need the two tractors on the pull... Fields are separated in part and then have some more ground in the opposite direction that we want to use it for

Hire a lorry and a forklift from a plant hire company for a couple of days

No chance of using a transport company to shift them, flats or curtainsiders ? Just need any old loader at each end then.

Got a wagon but it's the shear time you'd be sat waiting for a return trip, just not viable

Just can't see this working easily this year

Sell it out the field and buy some nearer by

No help at all , but is there much difference in journey times between 4220 and 2170.

Wish it were that easy, one of them jobs that's been for years so is being 'done'

Ahh interesting, doesn't go like you'd think this run. I get the 2170 (one of very few times a year I do ) and that's been turned up to 230 with a bigger bale trailer on that'll carry another 4 bales. Hill right out of the place we bale and it splits into a two lane set up, crawler type. The 2170 will completely and totally, in every way f**king muller the 4220 on the way home. It shocked us both when I was smashing past him at a good 6-7 mph faster and waving all the way It's a 3 mile climb up that hill and the next time the 2170 will be seen is 20 mins later 4 miles ahead of the 4220 going round a corner up another big hill from a long straight. That 2170 is possessed, we can't find enough weight to REALLY slow her up and we've a 32ft Stewert box full of cattle and she still pulls hard.

After that the only time the two are back together is in the yard after I've had enough time to unstrap and pretty much unload the trailer. Boss man takes the empty larger trailer back and I chase him down with the smaller one after I've stripped it to go load up again.

It's a bloody lovely few days to be totally honest and a nice break from the norm but this year the old 6430 may have to put a few shifts in I fear

google SW hire - simon is a top man, not sure if he has loader tractors though - worth a phone call

Unimog would be far better on the pull than any tractor. thats what there designed to do.

Some Unimogs come with loaders just like tractors its just a demountable unit.

No contractor available the other end? perhaps if you put the location of the other end on here someone might make a recommendation, I've got a MF7620 with loader you could have but can't see its worth carrying it up there for 300 bales
