... and this is why I have a towing jaw!

Foxy was playing tractor at the shearing last night as the Nashy is all set up for muck shifting at the moment with a large concrete counterweight on the back... needless to say the Troll didn't feel a thing, shifted it on tickover without a grumble

That's a lot of sheep fluff........

close-up of the jaw (couldn't resist

)

Wasn't towing far or on the road so didn't bother putting the clip in (the autolock holds the pin in anyway)

approx 60 whole fleeces... would make a comfy and cosy (if slightly smelly) bed!

I can cope with smelly. can you take me a load to woodlands.
I don't fancy an air bed

is that the truck your going in?

Sure is

She's only standard but as a Troll that still means she sits on 31" ATs, with front and rear live axles, a disconnecting rear anti roll bar and rear diff lock

... so I'm hoping the only weak link will be the twit behind the wheel... although with the long wheelbase I will have to watch my crossovers!

Will prob unbolt the towbar flange as well since it's only a couple m12 bolts and I've got a torque wrench in the toollbox for re-attaching it - it should give me a better departure angle.

awesome!! I bet Nissan NEVER considered this as a possibility for the use of their Patrol range when they designed it!

Nice one!

Barrbeast · 19-06-2013, 21:39

Cheers lads, had complete faith that the Troll could do it, but even then I was well impressed with the ease she performed the job!

I would almost say she did it better than the tractor

Erm I'll bet the troll could tow a plough

Thomas-the-Terrano2 · 22-06-2013, 20:15

some nose weight there, even just the trailer, so how did you get it hitched? with a jack?

96terrano · 22-06-2013, 20:33

i'm sure you could make some nice wolly seat covers for your patrol

Yeh jack under the drawbar, my open the small back door and get a guide back from my Grandad. Pin in, let oil out jack, watch rear suspension sink down

and away we go!

Hmm... problem is I don't know anyone with a trailed plough I could use

(mine needs the tractor lift arms on it).

Now a triple set of 2.6 ton rolls that is a possibility... I see myself doing some rolling come Autumn

exosteve · 02-07-2013, 07:29

that's a fancy tractor. Ive not seen one with 4 wheels on the back like that before.
