My New 4x4 Ferrari Cobram 65 RS in action on hills

[electrarc]

Apparently yes(I got this image from SIA "ARME" - Motobloki):

Thanks for the info it looks great. My question is what will that do for the balance of the tractor on side slopes. Also would it interfere with the cab? I have not seen this info in Australia. I will find out more.

Thanks Zac

It looked to me like the cab was articulated relative to the engine. Unless I imagined that, I'm guessing this helps keep all four feet on the ground.
I'd love to have a unit like that for my place. Being able to face the mowing (or snow blowing) and then turn around to face the FEL, would be really great!

Thanks for the video, very interesting concept of the reversing of the equipment. That is some steep slopes you are cutting...No-one like finding stumps, post or wire on the ground, when mowing.

That's a very impressive machine design. Am I the only one that thought the video would have sounded even better with a V-12 engine?

Hi Bob,

They call it an oscillating chassis, the front or rear wheels can move about 15 degrees from each other and still put full pressure on the ground. I have a bad back, so being able to turn the operators consul around is great. It is so stable on our slopes, some are well over 30 degrees. I am making a new video in a couple of weeks on our steep slopes.

Cheers Zac

Hi and thanks for your feedback.
I think that once I have cut an area and removed the rubbish I will turn the drivers consul back around and tow the mower at a higher speed.

Cheers Zac

V12? Come on it's Racing Green with Tinted Windows, Aircon, 4x4, diff locks front and rear and a Turbo. But alas no V12. Can we change the audio?

But it is cheap on fuel!

Thanks Zac

Holy chit mon, did you see the height of that bucket.??.....Wow.!!!!:thumbsup:

I tried to find a Lambo tractor before I bought my New Holland. I just thought it would be cool when all my neighbors have Deere, Massey, etc. that I pull up in a Lamborghini. Naturally the cab would have scissor doors. Couldn't find one around here though.

 

[the fat kid]

VERY VERY COOL!!! It's like a skidder with ALL the options!! Saaaweet machine!!

Hi,

Thanks for your comments, most appreciated. These tractors are made to live on steep hills and are very small. 1.5 meters wide and 3 meters long. But have big hearts, mine is 58 HP. I worry about a high bucket on a little tractor and would like to hear what you think.

A picture may help.

Cheers Zac

I think that setup would be ideal for a backhoe. Backhoe attachments don't work well (if at all) on most CUTs with cabs, but this one could be an exception.
The really high lift on the FEL could come in handy occasionally; it would only be a safety hazard when coupled with operator error.

electrarc, I loved your video, (and your tractor)
My question is not tractor related but video related.
Please tell me what program you used to edit the video and have you done much editing before?
I would love to be able to upload to utube but my vids are always far too large. You can email me if you do not wish to reply via the forum
Thanks
Doug

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your kind comments. The program I use is a cheap one called AVS Video Editor. I have tried other programs, but was not getting the results. I record in HD and then just select the output level I want and it uploads it to the internet for me. I do the videos for a little fun and to provide information I was not able to find before I purchased the tractor. I also like watching videos of other peoples equipment.

Cheers Zac

Hi Bob,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yep, operator error that would be me!!! I have lived with tractors and at 54 years young operating them on very steep slopes still gets me going. At over 30 plus degrees I go UP if I can, 40 plus I go down if I can and then there are the ones in fine conditions I just slide down 4 times a year. We have some slopes I prefer to go across even though the farmer next door does not want to watch because it has a deep dam at the bottom.

But yes, new tractor, on new very steep land, still finding the washouts and stumps hidden by very tall grass. Fire is my new best friend. Once I have seen the land it'self I will be more prepared.

I agree a high lift FEL would be very handy at times and if you need a back hoe, I think this tractor could be OK. I still remember that guy who broke his Antonio Carrero 4400 in half. This tractor is it's cousin.

Kind Regards Zac

Well Zac, you are gamer than me. I have had the CK30 on 2 wheels on a number of occasions now and I have become too wary to let it happen again. I always keep my bucket low and try not to go there anymore. Luckily most of my 40 acres is reasonably flat.
Regarding video. I have a subscription with AVS and have all their products. However I updated the Editor to the latest version and am now persevering to learn the effects and transitions. It is the transitions I am having trouble with but I hope to master it eventually. Thanks for your reply Zac. Now I've seen what can be done with it I will hopefully have a breakthrough.
BTW, I am near Grantham SEQ. Where are you?

Hi Doug,

We have 30 acres and most of it is hills next to a river we also have large ponds which are also banked, so I spend a lot of time on hills. Hence the purchase of the Farrari. I am outside Bundaberg. If you have trouble with AVS just send me an email and I help if I can.

Cheers Zac

Zac- I looked at this Ferrari tractor website (Home), but don't see your 65 RS model. Do you know why?

 

[BlacknTan]

Quite an impressive machine!

Beppington,

The RS65 was a new model for 2011. It is 59HP, 3 cyl turbo VM (Detroit).
