Makes more sense when you see it with an attachment guess not used in the U.K. much

 

[JJT]

Over 300hp

 

[michael N123]

Look cool with a big buck rake on the front

 

[Dave W]

Looks cheap power if you've a project

The drive issue could be a killer, guessing it’s not a common transmission in those things?

 

[Sharpy]

Iirc the idea was a flexible power source for power hungry implements such as forage harvesters.

I think it is hydrostatic drive so the pit wouldn't be the right place for it.

Something like 400hp and straightforward drive to the PTO. I remember maybe seeing it in FW or Profi years ago someone had put a chopper on the back I think.

I think it is more aimed at forestry chippers or mulchers which these days is the mainstay of reverse drive tractors.

Must admit I do like my reverse drive Holder.

Here is the manual for the Doppstadt version, apparently it came in two power outputs. Ideal for compost turning, wood chipping and the like.

Ever since I first saw a picture of these they have fascinated me and would love an excuse to own one.

 

[ollie989898]

I guess it would be great as a self propelled mower which you could put on a chipper or something in the winter. Looks a bit lumpy for anything else though.

Is there a modern replacement for it or have they stopped making them
