Sumo trio 3 transport

[Riley]

Could any owners shed some light on if it would be possible to move one on a 14 ifor Williams trailer? Weight shouldn’t be a problem was more worried about dimensions? Cheers

 

[Tim G]

I think weight would be a problem.

 

[Riley]

A 3m sumo is 2850kg and the trailer is 640kg so it just in the 3500kg weight. I stand to be corrected tho?

Weight probably is a problem as it’s 3t. Otherwise it’s 3m wide and probably the same in depth.

Well that’s the trailer idea out the window you can’t over hang that wide. And the machine weight I found of the internet is a bit off is it a no for that idea. I ride out in the tractor it is

 

[Tim G]

Make sure you have a good top link.

 

[Bramble]

Make sure you have a good top link.

And some front weights

 

[Riley]

Was thinking of loading on to a bale trailer for that run home. But have hydraulic top links on the tractors but not keen of a long ish run on them

How far are you going?

 

[Riley]

About 50 mile so just about 1hr40

Dismantle it, take the packer home on a trailer, two trips yes, but taking one of those evil things 50 miles on the back of a tractor is just an accident waiting to happen.

I would be bringing back on the linkage that’s far to far for that carry on. Dismantling it is probably how I will go forward with it. It should only be a couple of bolts to get the packer off.

Personally,stick it on a lorry
Either that or pump your back tyres up very hard and take several top links with you.

That’s what I think put the packer on the ifor Williams trailer and use the tractor for the rest .

Pump them up nice and hard so the points can just pop them easier

How do you plan on loading/unloading it on bale trailer , like others have said either split roller off if you have to get it yourself or get a low loader

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Been there got the T-shirt with broken toplinks and burst tyres with a mounted trio, got a trailed 1 now

If you get it on a wagon remember you’ll need a fairly decent sized machine to lift it off unless you can reverse a tractor up to it and hitch it on whilst still on the wagon. Been there got the tee shirt trying to get one off .

 

[Mr Charisma]

When our trio was delivered new many many years ago it was delivered in 2 parts,,,,,main frame and packer , very sensible.
It's a true "triggers broom" with just about everything being changed, just been through the workshop so should be good for a few more years hopefully

Get a lorry with a decent hiab. Come home to a nice sumo sat exactly where you want it in your yard. Have a cup of tea .
