Project Xerion.

[Henarar]

It makes the Multidrive look like a toy. Not so much in size, more just design, build, thought, professionalism, etc.

It will keep Pete fit climbing up and down them steps all day

 

[Matt L]

Believe it or not I know someone that will take a fully laden XERION saddletrac where they won’t take an empty conventional tractor. They just keep going, esp in crab steer.

 

[TheEarlOfMoray]

Will keep you fit climbing in and out every load

 

[Andrew]

Little and Large.

They do look impressive. What’s it like alongside the Big A?

 

[Lofty1984]

Dangled it over the Xerion just to give me half an idea what I’m up against.

Couple of bits and bobs to move, maybe a days work, then dangle it again, get it secured in position safely and start tacking a few bits on.

It will be over a foot lower than this once set.

Does the exhaust come out on the step or is it routed out of sight somewhere

 

[Matt L]

Comes out behind and above the right hand front wheel.

 

[Jim B]

Great stuff Pete. That body does look a bit small on it though!

But, I can see the advantage of a lighter outfit and one that’s well on top of the job...

 

[Kevtherev]

I’ve got some grass seed pallets here your welcome to have to make some greedy boards for it if you like.

 

[Jim B]

Is this Xerion A?

 

[tomlad]

The size difference is dramatic isn't it.
Bet its different driving so far forward

 

[Kevtherev]

Ahem

 

[Blue.]

Is this Xerion A?

How come it’s ended up in Ireland?

I asked the same on Friday.

Same reg.

 

[ED.D]

The whole idea was to have a machine that hardly knows it’s at work.

Will it be the same for the driver too?

 

[ED.D]

When it got bogged they never managed to pull it out...

Not that I’m making comparisons or anything but didn’t they say it was a one off, nothing to touch it, in the end was brought down by a big old pile of white stuff.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

You did, my apologies I forgot to reply.

Yes, that is Xerion A.

For anybody interested I had all the oils tested and every one came out in tip top order.

I don’t know actually. my lovely Big A is under another shed. I’ll try and get a few minutes to introduce them tomorrow.

Certainly does look the part COB and to be fair has good ingredients in the mix, should be fairly straight forward to mount the box no big drama what height to top of the box are you thinking it will be for loading looking at photo with forklift beside it doesn’t look too scary tbh

 

[Cab-over Pete]

It will only be about a foot higher than on the Multidrive so my Loadall will be fine.

Not really, the big T was one of three sisters Olympic, Titanic & Britanic originally designed to be the same. Olympic was first out of the stable followed by Titanic which had a higher gross tonnage due to internal changes, Britanic was changed mid construction & Olympic reconfigured due to the sinking of Titanic.
