Yanmar SV26 vs Kubota KX027-4 vs Bobcat E27

What's the e27 like without the extra counterweight? I was half thinking of leaving that off and putting steel tracks on.

Ah. I recognise that post knocker. Were you on arbtalk asking about it when you were building it? What size hammer weight does it have?

And chained the post cap to the bottom of the mast- a man who hath seen the light!

I bought the bateson trailer because it was marketed as light, I think it was something like 580kg. I added a strip of ply to the centre of the trailer and with a spare wheel it was mid to high 600's but can't remember. Split ramps have meant I can't move a roller which is really annoying, otherwise they're great

Yeah they're all much of a muchness by the time all the bits have been added to make like easier. Tbh I like a stripped down flatbed as much as anything because theyre pretty light, flexible with different machines. a bateson 12x6 is 600kg without ramps so perhaps 650 with and gives a bit more room for either attachments or load positioning them a standard plant trailer- the down side is its more of a faff dealing with ramps and props stands
