new TPS with powered trailer

[domo]

Hi everyone
I'm thinking to buy a 10 HP, TPS tractor ( it is a Lombardini clone ) with a powered trailer . It comes with 12 inch wheels with agri tyres , and ground clearance is kinda short . Any ideas if it can handle a really rough terrain ? . (The dealer says it can handle any road no matter how difficult ) ..

Found them here Labinprogres TPS , nice looking machine although I don't think they're available here. I'd like to see one in person and I would think that the powered trailer would go about anywhere.

Here is a youtube video with the tractor in action YouTube - Macos & Hall . I never tried one of these tractors for real , so that's why I still worry about ground clearance and problems with differential . The dealer says it has lockable differential but I think that is only for front wheels . The trailer doesn't have a lockable differential so in case of a slipping wheel you can lose traction and if you are going uphill on a steep slope with a loaded trailer you can get in trouble ( correct me if I'm wrong ) .

Finally bought one , two days ago . I got also a couple of attachments ( 32 inch rotary cultivator and 42 inch sickle bar mower ) . It has electric start :licking: , 4 speeds forward and 2 speeds reverse with lockable differential . I used it to cut grass ( 2 acres ) and I tried the trailer too . There is lots of torque and power to haul almost one ton easily . There are two PTO's ( upper and lower ) but you use only the lower one with the trailer , rotavator or mower. The upper PTO (smaller ) is for powering a water pump . So far I'm happy with the machine but I haven't tested the rotavator yet .

Sounds like a nice machine, I'd like to have a sickle for my BCS. Would like to see some pictures of all that machinery, is the rotary cultivator the same as what we call a rotary tiller?

Ok...long time since I have been here. But if youｴre intretsted in pics of 2wheel tractors with driven trailers, you should join www.einachserforum.de in the pictures (Bilder) section You will find a lot of 2wheelers with driven trailers

Guess this combinations are more common in europe then in the US.

the second pic shows a Gutbrod (Bucher CH) with driven trailer from the 50th. The pics have been taken from a bookside.

Hi JS,

fine so far. we have purchased a Honda F 700 walkbehind an Agria 1600 tiller, a Eicher tractor with 72 hp and a Welger baler Type AP 45,

Winter has come early this Year, lot of snow. Lot of work to care for the animals, the hens and heifers we own.

Snow means, that we canｴt go for work. Fine for doing repair in the shop..but ...no money.
