My Grenadier spends 90% of its time towing tipper trailers, wood chippers, MEWPs and agricultural kit. It hasn’t missed a beat and makes light work even at full tow load. Will be interesting to see how everything wears like the engine, brakes and drive train. As my previous 2 from new defenders were suffering by 60k miles.

will be very interesting to see. keep me posted on that!!! as you can confirm, it feels like the grenadier is doing it effortlessly....we should know in a few miles/years

Hi any problem turning around reversing the trailer with the poor turning circle? Regards Dave

Good video again Ingemar, fuel consumption i don't think was to bad, we have a small 3 half litre, Mitsubishi worktruck, which averages around 14mpg , pulling same weight. 😊 from Steve near Chester England 🏴 where the Roman's once lived.

i was actually surprised. also think it's not bad at all. was fun to drive as well

Hi did you do any reversing whilst towing as regards the bad turning circle on the steering? Regards Dave in the Uk
@grenadier_exploringАй бұрын
i did reverse but that was not caused by the turning circle. just had to donit during loading/offloading. with the wide trailer no problem. a nice feature: the rear pdc is turned off automaticaly when there‘s a trailer attached

For the fuel consumption, I noticed one of the trailer tyres 'looked' a little flat - maybe not correct pressure. If so, that may have a small impact on the overall performance.
@grenadier_exploring6 ай бұрын
I just saw what you mean! the trailer is parked on a little pothole. guess that's why the pressure looks low. actually i checked it before the trip and the values were good.
@hedydd26 ай бұрын
I guess that the running pressure for those tyres is 90psi/6.2bar. 90psi is what my similar Ifor Williams trailers run at and I check at least weekly or every time they are used if idle for more than a week. Visual check every time it is heavily loaded. I guess almost everyone who tows heavy trailers has a similar regime because nobody wants a burst
@grenadier_exploring6 ай бұрын
correct. also checked the temperature of the tyres every now and then. pressure was at 6.5 (acc. to the manual)
@hedydd26 ай бұрын
@@grenadier_exploring That’s 100psi for those who are not metric. These tyres are so small and pressure so high that they can lose quite a lot of pressure quickly with the slowest of leaks

Did the trailer lift the back end of the Grenadier off the ground when you were climbing up the ramp? I notice that you edit those few seconds out 😅. My IW trailer has jack stands that swivel down in order to take the weight and stop it lifting the back of the vehicle, which is especially important if the handbrake only works on one axle and it isn’t on perfectly flat ground.
@grenadier_exploring6 ай бұрын
in fact it did start lifting the Grenadier in the back but i stopped going up and installed some stands (the trailer hasn’t got any). I stopped the time lapse and forgot to turn it back on 🙈🙈🙈. realised when i was already ON the trailer.

@@grenadier_exploring I guessed as much. Got the T-shirt LOL. It helps to have the centre differential locked for braking but always some stands are needed.

What model of Massey Ferguson is that? The cab is not familiar in the UK although I suspect that it is a 200 series. French built model?
