The drill here is fairly wide on the road and similarly the roller is not the best being carried full.
Do any of ye lads have something similar and what do you use to bring them around?
I know the drill piece is probably complicating it a bit ;)
Oh there's a couple of pockets of heavy stuff il let him into first to soften his cough.Ohhhh watch out [MENTION=2627]john415[/MENTION] - Nashmach must be gearing up to take a heap of conacre in the fertile crescent around Wexford town......
Didn't some of the Massey drills have a towing kit? At least I can remember something like that. Mightn't be possible to retrofit though.

Haven't seen one of those in ages, I'd reckon they are very scarce now with most having been scrapped.Reekie drill transporter? Then fabricate a couple of cradles to take the roller,

Hi Nash, got a 4 metre transporter in under a drill recently, it's got ramps to reverse up into which could accommodate a roller as well. Wouldn't take a lot of work to shorten it for the 2.4 metre. Thought I had a photo of it on file but it seems not the case.

The one with the transport kit attached was sold locally and the axle ram position altered to balance it better and make more room for the roller. Then used 2 folding draw bars as ramps! Neat job.

Looking for a transporter for a 2.4m MF drill or similar size if Anyone has one.or knows of one.
We need pictures.....Got sorted today anyways lads. Thanks for the suggestions that some sent :Thumbp2:

I just love pictures......Of what though ?:rolleyes2:
Those wheels look like they're off a Ford Cargo 4 cylinder truck from the late 80s, those split rims are also known as widowmakers so be careful! 7.50x16 was the size and the newer Cargos were 8.25x16.5 or something odd like that.The wheels turned out to be more complex than expected but my tyreman has tyres sourced (the others were pretty rotten despite good thread) and the rims are being blasted and primed locally and another coat on them here. Very good job these are too.
The rims are an unusual size with a 190mm PCD so not easy to find so that's why they are going back on.View attachment 50081

Alot of tyre lads won't even touch them now we had a bale trailer with them one timeNo, it's off an older Isuzu NPR or similar from the late 80's. Axle is exactly six feet.
They are actually 7.00 x 16's tubed tyres and I know all about their reputation which is why I'm sorting them right now and the tyreman took off the old tyres and will be refitting the new ones.
