Dont know where to start or who has to them to sell...even a separtate small hydraulic crane would be considered.

Any advice would be appretiative.

This one is sdvertised on MR trailers website, they are outside Navan, Co Meath. 046 9023950. Dont know if they still have it, they might not update their website all that often.

That looks perfect for what i want....im gonna use it for for things.....1: picking up logs of timber. 2 engine blocks. 3 square and possible round bales.....but only possilby....you seen at the moment im starting out in farming but its disadvantage area and we dont have much use for a tractor.If we did have one we problay only need it one day in the year whereas this is in a weird way more conventional for me and my family.
Big thank you for your help, it is really appretiated:D

You'll pick up a small tractor for less than a trailer with a crane on it. The tractor might be rough, but you will get far more use for it around a farm than a trailer with a crane. But that's only my opinion. You're the boss!!

id be inclined to agree with you there, tractor and loader much more versatile. think long and hard before you make a decision.
