I am considering buying a trailed Ransomes Mole plough and have found one 170 miles away which might go at a price I can afford. Does anyone know what size they are? If I get it I will need to fetch it and am hoping it will fit my 7'x4' trailer ( The length isn't a huge issue but the width is. They look about 40" wide. The trailer will take 1/2 ton.
Does anyone know whether my diesel Major will be man enough to pull one of these ploughs?
Ransomes trailed mole plough - size & weight
Re: Ransomes trailed mole plough - size & weight
Porteous I've mole drained many acres using a 100hp crawler tractor.
A Triple D, (effectively 2 super Majors) wouldn't pull it - too much wheel spin. Your tractor would be fine pulling it if you keep the machine out of the ground!
I think the trailer width might be an issue. I guess it will fit but I would check the measurements before you travel.
You could possibly take the wheels off and put in diagonally across the trailer.
