I don’t think the Argo would be too keen on too much weight make it hard too turn aswell

I used to have an old copy of Claude Culpin. In it was a photo of an argocat spreading fertiliser on a steep hillside. If I remember it had a Vicon on a logic low pressure chassis,there was a swan neck draw bar arrangement for towing the logic trailer.

used to drive an out fit like that when i was younger ..worked ok on flat fields. On hills it was underpowered. and burnt the steering brakes out on banks trying to keep her straight. also used to snap the drive chains. think this one was only about 15 horsepower twin cylinder Tecumsah engine. good idea but wanted beefing up all round

Bateman Agilator.

Not technically an Argocat, but 6x6 and 4 wheel steer rather than skid. I think it had a mini engine and transmission.
