I saw one of these for the first time, today - I bet you could knock one up in half a day if you had a big MIG and a cold cut mitre saw.

They look quite suitable for me, though, as my access is worse than terrible.
A tractor unit with a flat platform and a drawbar trailer would fit.

Would you need an artic licence to drive a tractor unit with no trailer attached, would a rigid licence cover you

[smcapstick]

Yep, rigid. A category C license.

Could one of these be converted to Ag classification and driven on a normal car licence?

65kph legally, good braking on the road, manoeuvrable around the yard. I can see it could be quite a good solution for us

You can convert them to pull on a drawbar I believe, but don’t think you’d be able to carry a load on the lorry.

Loose the maneuverability advantage that way.

Is that one of Roger Ardern' Fodtrac from up Buxton way? Looks like Leanlow farm in the back ground on the a515 Buxton to Ashbourne road.

was just a pic from google, but yes. Remember seeing a white one years ago, don’t know if they’re still around?

Not sure, I don't get up that way so much now. @rusty might know better?

 

[B'o'B]

It seems for Ag use it can’t actually carry a load only pull.

Yes that's Roger's. Think it might be him driving in the photo. They still run at least one of them, I think they had three At one time.
