Hi
Can anyone offer advice on the minimum tractor size to run a post rammer regularly in hilly country?
My current thinking is that I need to find something around 75 hp and 3000 kg or 6600 lbs
But could I get away with a large compact?
Lets say a 60hp cab tractor might come in around 2400kg or 5300 lbs
Rammer is approx 600kg or 1300 lbs weight on the back
I know I would be under the rear lift capacity but how likely am I tip the tractor when trying to go up a 30-40% incline?
