Ultimate show goer tractor accessory?

[Handy Don 12,167]

Here in "Implements and attachments" since it could be a handy accessory to your tractors!

 

I saw this and thought of all you folks doing the long hauls to the shows. While there probably isn't room for more than six tractors in the "garage", they (and you) would be riding' in style! Loading and unloading would be a snap, of course.

 

Course you could always add a double-decker trailer to tuck into the slipstream behind for your other tractors!

 

Dialog is in German but the video shows the stuff!

I've consulted the BBT about this being a potential Wheelhorse hauler. The answer I got was, "Definitely." 

We may have to start saving our pennies around here...

I have a cheaper alternative… and it’s staring me in the face!

 

 

[SylvanLakeWH 25,500]

That is slick!!!

 

Can’t wait to see @pullstart’s lift system for the magic school bus…!

 

[rjg854 11,352]

Magic bus, now that brings back alot of memories.

Don't have a clue what that fellow was saying in the video, but it sure is an impressive rig. But I will stick with my 5th wheel and pickup, much more affordable for an old retired truck driver.

@pullstart That is an ugly yellow. Paint the sucker.

All I know is that I didn't hear Radpferd in there anywhere. That's German for Wheel Horse.

 

Yes, I did just google that...

The gist of what the inventor/seller was saying had to do with the exceptional convenience of not needing to be without personal mobility when you reach your campsite (camping? with this? right!) and how much better to have an auto than even electric bicycles!. Plus not needing to attach, load, tow, and otherwise mess with a trailer. There was also a bunch about how easy it is for the average person to load or unload the vehicle, how the built-in safety sensors and weather-proof enclosure protect the cargo, and, of course, how smart you'd be to own one. Startlingly, there was little mention of the interior fitting out, other than to mention the wide array of options for decor. As expected, no discussion of cost to purchase or operate.

From my very limited knowledge, the cost of registering and insuring a beast like in most EU countries is quite high (that's why a lot of Euro tour buses are registered in Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, and other "lesser economies"). Also, getting a license to operate a vehicle like that in the EU is not trivial with required training and testing--not least because many roads are smaller than we here in the U.S. are used to--especially in built-up areas of cities and towns. Perhaps @Tractorhead can fill us in?.

I mean, yeah, it would be great for guys like me who only have 1 horse (I know... working on getting some more horses in the barn... already got engines ready for them). Coming down to the  show would be easy.

 

Anyhoo... one day in the years to come I will come down to the show with my horse, let some of you guys see it in person! ...Probably not in lederhosen...

here’s some Lederhosen… AKA Party Pants!

First I love those Basset Hound Ear mirrors!

 

Second when someone sits down to give you the details......it is going to be expensive!

[Pullstart 62,807]

Speaking of fun RV’s, our toy hauler has been delayed again, until at least September.  I talked to the salesman yesterday about them/the manufacturer sweetening the deal because of the delay.  I asked if they would include the generator offered instead of just generator prep.  Some day, we’ll have a 13’ garage toy hauler!  Some day…

By heritage only though, all of my great grand parents migrated to the US from Germany. I do wish to visit Germany some day. One stop that would be on the list is a little town that shares my last name.

There’s a slight chance… We’ve driven through before!  Jil is from Duisburg, just down the road a piece from there!

 

 

[Pullstart 62,807]

I’m actually quite certain I have @Achto  She lives right by this lake with the red dot!

 

 

[Achto 27,511]

I just might have to stow away in your carry on bag the next time you go to visit her.
