Really tiny tires for soft ground use with a heavy machine.
What does it take to mount SSQA implements to it?

Tires are same size as most Telehandlers...much larger than on a skid steer. They look to me to be about the same size as the front tires of a mid=size of a 4 wd utility tractor.

Regarding the SSQA, apparently it has it's version of a QA. Salesman says it works with most implements...but he also said they have a SSQA adapter plate for it. So I'm confused.

The tires on the smallest Merlo, 27.6 Plus are 12x16.5, R4 tread.

My V417 tires are 14x17.5, that is 14 inches wide and just under 35 inches tall on a 17.5 inch rim:

Yes it would be the Merlo QA, for their attachments. You would need the SSQA adapter.

I am looking for something to back up my kubota here at camp. Hadn't really considered a telehandler, but with the exception of no 3pt hitch, it might work out better than a second tractor for my use. All the minis I see have really small tires, has anyone ever seen one with dual tires front n rear?

I have looked at a lot of telehandler pictures in the 8 years that I have owned the Versahandlers and have never seen duals. On most machines there isn't room for the outside dual when turning. Don't have any good pictures showing the clearance, but here is one that shows the rear wheels turned and how close the tire is to the body, there isn't room for a outside dual:

That's what it looked like from the pictures, I think I will go kick some tires when I am in Oregon, maybe some of them you could put super wide tires.
Stock I am afraid they would be stuck on my beach in two minutes:(

But it can get itself unstuck. :thumbsup:

Always have a chain, but never seen an anchor like that, is it stainless steel? Looks like it will fold up pretty small.

Don't know anything about it, it showed up on a google image search.

For years now I've been threatening to buy an anchor! But, very few places on my property that I can't find a tree to latch on to: it's a matter, though, of having to haul out a lot of cable/chain: since having my Polaris Brutus I'm at least not having to walk long distances trying to carry such stuff!
