Mercedes Sprinter - Loading up Ransomes Crawler

[Seattlecarnut]

Ah. I see. Someone special ordered it?

[Seattlecarnut]

What's special about it? What's that you're loading on to the van?

[Bevoin1970]

Its special because its a 1950 vintage crawler tractor, not so many around these days.

Was a replacement for horse drawn farm equipment such as Ploughs...

[aid2003]

WOW.

What a SPECIAL LOAD..

When was this trctor build??

Where did you deliever it??

[Bevoin1970]

This tractor was built around 1950. I delivered it to my house, I bought it... :-)) Was a very special day for me, I really enjoyed this journey. :-))

[SirBenjito]

loaded safe. well done.

[Bevoin1970]

Yes nice driving...!!!

[pwalpar]

Quite a cargo- An awesome machine.  Maybe you can deliver me one 5*

[Bevoin1970]

That would be one hell of a drive, I'd need a cup of tea when I got there mind... ha ha Thanks for watching and rating Walter

[uzigallore]

could you please tell me how you made that wooden ramp, and also how you managed protecting the bumper from impact scratches as the machine enters the vehicle

[Bevoin1970]

They are just ordinary wooden planks, nothing special. If you look closely you will see the wooden planks sit on another piece of wood that sits on the step and not the plastic bumper. The crawler tracks don't come into contact with the plastic bumper at all.. Would be bad news if they did. :-) Thanks for the Q

[birdman404]

did it move on your journey to the field and how heavy do u reckon it was???

[Bevoin1970]

No it didn't move at all, It was well tied down and I drive much more careful when Im carrying items such as this. At a guess I would say it weighed in at a good 600kg possibly a bit more?? judging by the way the van felt.

[Bevoin1970]
