Multidrive SixTrac
Designed originally with carrot hauling in mind this unique version of the 6185 model offers an unequalled pay load area with 4.8 metres of usable space. It is designed for multiple tasks with a 12 tonne load capability. It comes as standard with six-wheel drive and proportional six-wheel steering making it the ultimate in load carrying vehicles for traction and maneuvreability. The majority of the parts, including the transmission system and axles are common with the standard tractor range so parts availabilty and servicebility are straightforward.
The benefits of six wheels
The benefits of a six wheel vehicle over a four wheel vehicle include the ability to carry the additional weight on a relatively narrow tyre. Most 4 wheel self propelled are overloaded on their tyres when fitted with 4,000 litre sprayers and above. The large diameter tyre and the additional axle of the SixTrac means the weight can be carried comfortably even at high working and road speeds. For low ground pressure applications narrower tyres can be also used which makes the machine much more practical on the road
Traction and low ground pressure is pretty well unbeatable with a third driven axle and is ideal for applications such as slurry or litter disposal in winter conditions.
