Towing a 360 Digger

[multi power]

Used to put an axle under the blade then use the blade to lift that end of the excavator off the ground. Swing the bucket round 180 and place in the well of the MB Trac and lift the other end up using the digger hydraulics. Fine for dragging around the yard not recommended on the road.

Can't see that working with a 13 tonner, probably end up with a broken mb track

Sure it would work using a dolly.

Ignore the scale its the principle.

Yes a simple dolly that locates/locks in with bucket. Not for road transport obviously. Could also do something similar using the blade with sub 8-tonners

I tried it with a wheeled excavator when I bought it. It pulled very very heavy and asked if it was okay, seller replied that it would be fine. A few miles down the road it came to a total stop, fitter came and as it turned out the hydraulic motor shat itself. Also then was when he pointed out it had a neutral for not only steering (which we had figured out) but also for drive so you could tow it.
Put on a new used drive motor but a good year later the engine shat itself. Now carefully stored in the nettles.
