I recently purchased a 50 foot towable boom lift (think of a boat trailer only heavier, 4,400 lbs) to do some work on my home. Now I need some type of tractor to tow it around the house. The land around the house is flat but there is a hill going down the driveway. The hill is about 70 ft long and down grades about 8 feet onto a state highway. I have to drive down the driveway to get to the front side of the house.
How big of a tractor would I need to Stop the lift from pushing it down the hill?
How big of a tractor would I need to pull the lift up the hill?
I've looked into the older Lo-boys and Case but have been questioning the size, and hydraulic transmissions, would they be capable, durable and haul the lift?
Not a lot of $$ left in the budget, any advice from the experts would be appreciated.
