Sounds like a cheap tractor.Yes it roadworthy and in license presently. It’s from a retiring one man band and has been meticulously maintained. He’s mainly used it as a sub contractor on jobs with the local council hauling stone. We know him well.
It’s a 2006 plate with 700,000 miles on the clock. Scania truck unit with a Wilcox tipper body with electric roll sheet. The only thing it hasn’t got is auto tailgate so it’s a manual which is a bit annoying. I’ve spoken to the mechanic that mot’s it and he said we won’t find anything better. The price is £7,500.
My only question really is how feasible is it to put it on flotation tyres. The mot mechanic knows nothing about agricultural tyres on a HGV so can’t help but ideally it needs to run down tramlines at harvest as well as tip muck out during the winter but we have some ex military matting for muck pile tipping.
you can have a super single on the fronts need different rims backs as twins 315 not seen any super singles on drive axles on hgv road useFront 315/80/22.5

What would prevent him from installing flotation tire setup on the drives? Besides mudgards? Axle spacing?you can have a super single on the fronts need different rims backs as twins 315 not seen any super singles on drive axles on hgv road use
would think it would be space between the chassis and body but like you not seen it and never seen super singles on drives on uk road going lorriesWhat would prevent him from installing flotation tire setup on the drives? Besides mudgards? Axle spacing?
Obviously I don't know what the truck looks like, im just curious

Your using that stone for a farm track aren’t youJust reawakening this thread. If you put a truck onto ‘Ag use’ only for red diesel and no 6 weekly check, can I legally move stone from a cottage we are knocking down to the farm yard? It’s within 1/4 mile but is a road journey. It’s not for hire/reward as we own the cottage that’s being demolished.
Along time ago I’m sure I know of a tractor unit on super singles the drive axles, the tyres cost more than a pair of normal tyres and pita to fit it was a special order Foden iirc double drive 6x4 tractor, the singles might have been to offset the lost payload due to the second drive axle (this was before 44T gross was legal for U.K. reg trucks iirc )you can have a super single on the fronts need different rims backs as twins 315 not seen any super singles on drive axles on hgv road use
yes those were army fodens 6x6 not much use for general haulageAlong time ago I’m sure I know of a tractor unit on super singles the drive axles, the tyres cost more than a pair of normal tyres and pita to fit it was a special order Foden iirc double drive 6x4 tractor, the singles might have been to offset the lost payload due to the second drive axle (this was before 44T gross was legal for U.K. reg trucks iirc )
apparently they were experimented with in the 80’s and may still be available
No this was a civilian road haulage tractor unityes those were army fodens 6x6 not much use for general haulage
