[QUOTE="Graham A.B Edwards, post: 2630562, member: 2904"] I do think your view about the Unimog is interesting as this was the forerunner to the MB Trac which was much slower & more AGRICULTURAL whereas the Trantor has always had a very important hitch-point under the SEE-ABLE [from the driving position.....not like the "long way back" hitch of the MB-Unimog" } and independently-suspended hitch so as to reduce the oscillations from the Trailer`s drawbar.The 3-point linkage of the TRANTOR is both -see-able & suspended. This was achieved by a large LEAF-Spring in the lateral position on the SERIES one Trantors & an Accumulator, on the Series 2 mark one Trantors. Power Farming showed this in the excellent magazine [ ruined by Farmers Weekly interference] which was published by NORMAN LUCAS in a "Meet the Trantor " article in APRIL 1978. {we probably have this article on our computer system if you would,or others wish to see it?}. My personal opinion is that the military Unimog was never a well-designed Ag-Implement focused product range & our Keynote address [presented at ARAI-SIAT in PUNE India covers the history of LAND-Rover [in its Ag-focused ,central driving position time when a PTO & 3-point linkage were evaluated at Silsoe ] explains the various designs from 1946 onwards to 2009,when published..{this is certainly on our computer system if you, or anyone else, is interested}. Your point on photographs on our website is useful as we have produced a Series of PDF-Style brochures .....listed on the website,,,,,which have dozens of photographs on each of the 8 pdf-brochures...........Our olde-fashioned approach to READING is much less popular than those "YOUNGSTERS" that seek to have TWITTER-like brief & short blogs. The design & development,over 42 years is not easily explained or indeed PROPERLY explained by TWITTERING.......studying engineering design & development for Agriculture .......is not sensibly done by the narrow thinking that pervades our profession.The subject of farming & the implications of change that the NO-till farming system encourages is not easily TWITTERABLE.............there is a need for a deeper understanding of the combination of Engineering,Zero-Tillage,Farm Transportation & the need to UNDERSTAND why engines designed for PLOUGHING are NOT the same as ENGINES designed for TRANSPORTATION.[ Perkins Engines still struggling to understand the no-till farming system & why the DUTY-CYCLE is so different when PLOUGHING is changed to TRANSPORTATION & Zero-Tillage work ].......which ,of course has no Ploughing in it........& is why The Trantor concept makes practical common sense & is clearly ,now,part of the future in worldwide agriculture, I would be pleased to forward you a wide variety of real photographs if you would be happy to receive them in regard to the 3 world markets they are addressed towards 1-LIVESTOCK O& GRASSLAND applications 2-Municipal Authority tractor operations e.g snow clearance,motorway mowing etc 3-The pictures of relevant no-till work tasks that for farming efficiency need to change the ploughing tractor in the TRANSPORTATION direction Additionally,there is a PDF brochure [illustrated] that explains WHY a ploughing-first tractor [32 million used per day] is inappropriate & badly-designed [cost of fuel,price of too-high hp etc] for the mew system of CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE {CA} which many farmers call no-till but which is a GREAT DEAL more than just "DIRECT-DRILLING"......indeed I would say that entering the No-till system through Direct Seeding is very foolish & ,from a soil-health pint of view one that usually fails to plan far enough ahead & fails to consider crop-rotation.......& ALSO lots of those Drills DISTURB the soil much more than makes sense to soil-interested ,worm-producing farmers.G [/QUOTE]
