slf-uk 914 #8 Posted July 17, 2016 No problem Chris, happy to help. It gave the Land Rover a bit of a workout dragging it from it's resting place and the trailer winch knew it was on the end.

Stormin 4,458 #16 Posted July 18, 2016 Ignore those two. Frame egg shell blue. Leave wheels as they are. Never painted in the first place. No point. Soon off in use. 2 slf-uk and bbf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #17 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) I had another look at the roller last night and it looks like it would come apart easily and would not take a lot to change the width of it. I did take a better picture that shows that but I am still unable to post pictures ATM. I need to move it at the weekend so I will hook it up to a tractor to move and to take some pictures which should give a good idea of what it looks like behind a GT and if it needs to be narrowed. The hard bit will be finding a tractor with the same capabilities as a WH without removing lots of features from a Bolens Iain Edited July 19, 2016 by slf-uk 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #18 Posted July 19, 2016 That will be interesting to see, hav'nt you got a Bolens on tracks, oh never mind you might be able to pull it 4 ranger, Stormin, slf-uk and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slf-uk 914 #25 Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks for posting the pictures Chris. The hitch needs changing because it is very weak and pooly designed. I think the size is perfect. I was very surprised when I weighed it as I was expecting it to be double that. The Bolens pulled it easily and you did not know it was on the back, so I expect a horse might be able to pull it on a good day Iain 2 Alan and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
