    75 hp is not enough for pulling an 8 tonne digger. Is it 4wd or 2wd?

    You would want at least 90hp for pulling an 8 tonne digger.

    I was hoping the 75 HP would suffice as I would only be moving the machine about once every 2 months :confused::confused:

    I have located a 5635 at a good price whereas a 6635 would cost me about 4-5K more

    i have a ford nh 5635 4wd it will be well able to pull your 8 ton digger as i pull a grain trailer carring 9-10 ton and trailer loads of baled silage 10 -14 bales no bother just take your time

    Anything will pull 8 tonnes once the trailer is braked. You won't be able to go very fast though!

    I have often pulled 16 bales of silage with a ford 4000. It ain't pretty, but it does the job when needed.

    It will pull it no bother there a fair gutsy wee tractor them, as maidhc said about the 4000 i used t pull an ex60 with wide pads and a set of buckets which would be near 8 ton with a 4000 and a 4610 not pretty but it done the trick, i had the brakes hooked to a spool valve again not ideal but functional. ;)
