Some great rigs on here guys, including Martin's Volvo...ace.
Scaling things down a tad I forgot about this. Proved much easier than dragging the sib solo by hand through the dunes.
Sadly boat and motor now gone but still have tractor and trolley. :)
Amazingly this little monster will also pull the rib.....on firm terrain anyway.

Casting my mind back a few years ago here, but was it you that made or bought the electric launch trolley before getting the little quad ?

Not guilty Martin, although have gone through more than a few hair brain schemes in the quest for effort free launches.

Quite sad I remember, but 9-R from over the pond and Andy B have both dabbled successfully with battery powered tugs.

what is that tractor? Do you think it would move an 1800kg rig on slightly sloping solid driveway?
