So….are we back to the UNIMOG 😉
Or a agrotruck from Mercedes-Benz/Paul Passau , you doesn't mention in youre videocomment.
Since the latest Agrotechnica in Hannover they are in the program of Krone/ Lankhorst Nord !
The problem with this is that you need a truck license. And you are only allowed a certain hours of working because it has a tachometer for the hours working. With a tractor you can let a kid drive it with a special license. But that is not so expensive as a truck license (in the Netherlands)And there a no maximum hours of working because it’s not registered on a tractor.
In the USA, trucks used for agriculture are not restricted by many of the laws and limits that govern the rest of the trucking industry.
You can drive a truck like this as a agricultural vehicle in the Netherlands. Then it’s just a different tractor as far as the law is concerned. That also means a lower allowed top speed so there is not much benefit from it. There are however some companies that use trucks like this as a agricultural vehicle in the Netherlands so they might have some advantages.
Same in germany they are even cheaper in tax than a normal semi, also not required to have an electronic tach@@autobootpiloot
Für flache Gebiete bestimmt gut.
Aber lass einen Ladewagen oder allgemein einen Anhänger am Hang drücken.
Der Truck geht Schlittenfahren....
Für Baustellenverhehr definitiv nicht schlecht dennoch würde ich auf Traktoren setzen.
Wenn es schnell gehen muss gibt's noch JCB😊
At least in the USA, off-highway trucks are not restricted by on-highway hours.
I mean, unimogs have been around for a very long time, as have tractors with front/rear trays like trucks. Not taken over, though they have their uses.
Love the video mostly because of the B-Roll really nice footage. ✅
Interesting , Thank You . Not for everybody but a fine concept
I know a vegetable farm that rents land far away from their yards.
They used to use trucks to bring all the veg back for packing.
What they noticed a few years ago while using modern tractors as additional haulage was that the tractors were as fast A to B as the trucks.
Now they only use tractors
я один думал, что еще покажут как грузовик спахивает поле ?
I was the only one who thought that they would also show how a truck plows a field?

While it is typically best to use specialized equipment for specific tasks, for some the financial investment and space required for so many specialized vehicles is prohibitive. While not nearly as efficient, a multi use vehicle like the Argo truck can allow smaller farmers to power equipment on a smaller scale. Also seem great for a self contractor. They could add several services with 1 vehicle. Nice video!
The premise of the original Land Rover
Tractors are designed to be a multi use tool the only thing specialized are the custom or fertilizer tractors. The run of the mill can hook up to and run a ton of different tools and hookups

And trucks can do that and many more in most cases@@andrewhansen4092
It Looks Great
At least in Sweden, taxes and regulations on trucks are so astronomical that truckers instead uses tractors on the road. Even though they are worse for the job, it is more economical.
2:16 I've never even heard of drive axle trailers, WOW. But then again multi clutch gearboxes were first used in farm tractors, not super cars. Agriculture really is a driving force for innovation
Multidrive was a pioneer in the field of driven trailers. They produced products for agricultural, mining, logging and military applications.
@@BlackSeaRC Not to be a know-it-all, but to my knowledge Soviet-Russia succesfully implemented axle driven trailers in the early 60's, 20 years before Mulitdrive was founded. Example of a truck with an axle driven trailer is the Zil 137. Although Multidrive might still be a pioneer in commercialising it.
@@armoredp You are right that Soviet engineers experimented with these concepts to try to improve mobility in harsh conditions. The ZiL-137 was a prototype around 1970. Prior to this there was also the NAMI-058C prototype around 1967. Neither concept seems to have entered mass production.
David J.B. Brown (the founder of Multidrive) spent his early career as a logging contractor in UK and the Congo. He was dissatisfied with the trucks, trailers and tractors available and designed his own articulated tractor (patented in 1958). Multidrive was founded in 1983 but it wasn't until 1987, when David Brown acquired Bedford Trucks and renamed it AWD, that all-wheel drive tractor-trailer combinations started to be produced. It is unclear exactly when his particular concept was formulated. He may have been aware of the Soviet vehicles or he may have come up with his concept independently whilst designing his own vehicles. By the way, the Multidrive powered tractor-trailer combinations are still in production in China (see Junton Multidrive).
Drive Axle trailers existed in the 1950s, Ferguson, later Massey Ferguson, had them. I own one, built in 1957 including drive axle trailer.
Teddering hay with a 8×8 truck, my goodness! Are hay feild are rough that would be sweet. But the neighbors might be confused since I'm in America, and you don't really see that here. Lol. But like the one fellow said at the top of the comments there's a couple of places in our hay fields that are a type spot to get in and my buddy that dose our hay says he has some fields that are really pain in the ass to get in our hay fields at our old farm were like that so I know. So yeah, getting around fields with such a large vehicle could be a problem. But it's still a really cool concept, and I would like having something that could do multiple rules.
I remember a company converting landrover defenders into tractors with rear 3 point hitch and pto and hydraulics , didnt come to much as it turned out cheaper to get a tractor and also visability was crap at the rear
Trantor
UNIMOG......the BEST or nothing at all!💯
Yep we use 4x4 and 6x6 MAN’s set up’s to spread fertiliser here in Australia
That we do in NZ too.. They dont however have a 3point and rear PTO.
Where do you get a driven trailer like that yellow one? is it powered by the PTO or hydraulic drive? I think I've seen a silage trailer which was powered/driven as well but never found info on it..
Soil compaction is the main reason these aren't used to plant or really do anything more then pull trailers. Farm tractors are designed to reduce ground compaction and feild tearup ( the tires will rip up the top layer of the soil) there's a reason why the tractor design and shape hasn't changed since the steam tractor it's the best design for them
Eh…no. Depending on model, more tires, same weight results in what? Yes…less compaction due to less ground pressure and the field tearup is something you would need to show me proof of…as the profiles are just as or even less aggressive. And when you see what a tracked or standard tractor do to wet soil…it won’t look much worse with a truck. And just because the visual appearance hasn’t changed doesn’t mean the insides and the tech haven’t changed. You can’t really compare a tractor from the 80s to a modern one
LOL cringiest comment of the day… can you even back that up with numbers other than „trust me bro“ since we farmers lol . These are the reasons people look down upon farmers… because some still behave as stupid as you do. @@Encarma
Oh rofl just saw… you are from the Dominican Republic…so how big are your tractors you need for sugarcane, coco, tobacco and coffe?! Massive plows I am sure ;) @@Encarma
@@SuperVistaprint You have 1,5x the size of truck tires on the front and 2,5x the size of a truck tire in the back compared with a smaller turning radius and optimized tyre profile. Yes Tractors are better. Add as many tires as you like to your truck...
Show me when your tractors can start to dog walk. It’s not about being „better“ it’s is about having the best solution/compromise but ya all seem to be unable to understand rofl@@thie9781
Need this guy at Snowrunner!
oh yes please
I need one to go to the mall 😂
Just a fancy name for putting a construction truck frame and wide balloon tires on an over the road truck format. Most farmers can do this in their barn for less than a third of the price.
The only real place this sort of truck would be useful is in a role where you are just driving around with a product load. Sprayer on low standing crops, hauling to the grain silo during harvest directly from the harvester, brush fire truck. Big tank, big cargo, long road haul is the 3 key factors for these.
Unimog is for niche/ family farmers who need something better than a lawn and garden tractor, but only can afford 1 vehicle, and need to drive around town.
This has been tried many times but has never been overly successful. They work in very large areas with big turning areas where passage is rapid and ground impact reduced. However, in very confined spaces where accurate ploughing and detailed ground tasks are required they are far less attractive and of limited use to smaller operators. A heavy hauler is a fine machine but like the tractor it’s uses are partial. So really this is an advertising adjunct for sales in America.
Tractors have simple engines and complex gearboxes allowing them to do field work. Trucks tend to focus on engines that deliver maximum mpg as most trucks travel distance. So neither are suited to the tasks of the other. With the advent of faster tractors it makes more sense to use tractors for field work 90% of the time and live with their issues for carting on the road.
"So really this is an advertising adjunct for sales in America."
LOL.
In this video all those agro trucks are european and on european registration numbers. MAN, Mercedes, Tatra. nothing american, besides brasil.
@@TomaszbtdZiobrowski I agree but the target market they suggest several times is America. Dollar rules. Always ask in journalism who is the journalist seeking to influence as important now as when I was at school in the fifties. There is also I agree a market in the East of Europe but that seems to be occupied in other ways at the moment. There is also the point that in some economies tractor diesel is rated less than lorry diesel when used on the open road.
Look at the Marcedes Unimog and tell me that's not a successful agri truck
@@thesayxx I did many years ago and asked a farmer why they were not more successful on farms. Apparently there were problems in ploughing which is not, as many non ploughboys think a matter of shoving the tackle in the dirt and pulling but of constant adjustment in variable soils especially in the years before electronic adjustment. This does not make them bad it makes them workhorses of a different nature depending on the agricultural work demanded of them. In hill country where a farm might have forestry as well as tilling and hauling they may be a wonderful addition but if you are ploughing a large area of plane then not quite as successful as a specific vehicle. So for a small farmer in a very mixed landscape environment they may well be the best investment available and in many areas of Europe they fulfil this role as a trip up mountain and hill farms will show. In modern farming which has moved beyond the child story book stage for a generation or so massive machines travelling over large landscapes are now the rule and specivity of function rules when accountants recommend the best financial investment.
Thankful.
1:20, what may have escaped many people's notice is the trailor was also fitted with a drive - note the wheel-spin.
👍👍👍👍
I like the dump trucks.
Nice example of a trailer with powered axles at 2:17
WOW
Yeah in the USA the CDL requirements are what the new high speed JCB type tractors avoid
Rica etsem altyazılardaki otomatik çeviri seçeneklerine Türkçe dil seçeneği ekleyebilir misiniz? Sizi anlamak ve takip etmek istiyorum!!!
MAN is way to go
Can you plow with it?
It looks like a specialized piece of equipment only to be used during small time windows during the year on the farm.
I knew this would be better than normal tractors, I always do this in FS because trucks are faster 😋
Oh man big fat wide tires with small wheels really gets my pipi going
You forget the utility having a front loader can offer. A tractor does the job of several different machines and can be found used from anywhere from 15k+
When semi trucks are made all are made to custom order. It looks like a bob tail that is smaller than your average semi.
Must admit, never heard of an agro truck before. They look incredible machines! Very impressed!
Like the idea but legislation gets in the way. Licences and red diesel etc
The American equivalent of this is a Peterbilt or Kenworth with diff locks sitting on 24.5 inch wheels hauling a hopper bottom trailer riding through the corn/soybean fields being loaded straight outta the combine, then driving up onto the road and to the grain elevator.
We don't use these in the US cause it's cheaper to put the old Peterbilt in the field besides the forage chopper
The alternative viewpoint is that you can modify tractors to make them more adaptable and versatile. This is where JCB has been successful with the high-speed Fastrac.
Is fastrac a chassis of a truck?
@@bekabeka71 No, it is not a truck chassis. The Fastrac high-speed agricultural tractor series was developed in-house by JCB and the range has been in production and constantly developed since 1991.
NO one vehicle is best for all chores. Thats why every farm worth a sh
owns a dozen different tractors, each intended for different jobs. After
WW2 Mercedes built the MOOG which is of the same ilk, Its great for a
new farmer as his first powered unit as it will do different jobs but, the
farmer will eventually buy several tractors as he can afford them.
!
…aren’t these just basically Unimog V2.0
The lack of GPS guidance will be an issue when using a truck instead of a tractor in the fields.
That’s what the unimog has been doing since the 1940s !
Wow! Using Semi-tractors in place of... tractors...
This does serve a purpose but there are multiple problems, with one or the main ones being visibility and ergonomics.
У нас давно есть агротрак!!! Это КАМАЗ 😁😁😁
it may have some better aspecs for farming than ordinairy trucks, but saying that it can replace tractor is like saying you can affordably daily a container ship to work
I feel something missing. The price that was not showing it need more in depth. As well module parts come with the cost to attach and remove for farming equipment. As well permits for driving and used case. Well there are small and big farms. So it depend on the need and prices.
Interesting but very general knowledge. A video about farming equipment without any farmers providing insight that applies to more than just their own farm doesn’t feel like the best use of the viewers’ time.
Tractors are significantly heavier than the agro trucks to increase their pulling power, a truck without significant additional weight won't even come close to what a tractor can do.
What I'm wondering is iff you need a special truck drivers license to drive these Agro Trucks ?
That will be the question for a lot of farmers,because a truck+trailer license is verry expensive
and in my country(Holland) you need to renew your truck license every 5 years !!!
That's a good question, but we couldn't find anything about it. I suppose it might be a standard trucker's license 🤔. Thanks for commenting!
Here in Germany, where most of these Agro Trucks are made, there are numerous different types of drivers licenses. The one you need depends on the type of the vehicle, top speed, weight and so on. Basically, to drive a truck, you need a proper license for standard trucks. If however the top speed is reduced to 60 km/h, it counts as a "landwirtschaftliche Zugmaschine", or agricultural tractor, and can be driven by sixteen year old kids who are allowed to drive any other tractor. Also, in this case governmental restrictions for the amount of time you are allowed to spend behind the wheel do not apply.
Oke so it's seen as a farmer machine. The you don't need expensive drivers license,only T-license will be enough.
I'm a former fernfahrer so I'm good but it still looks so strange to see a young 16 year old drive such
a big machine that looks simular to a big truck.
Thanks for the information and I wish you happy holidays and a good and safe 2024 !!!@@muskel-john9189
Agro truck concept looks pretty strange for me. If it's only with fifth wheel/multilift upfit- so it's basically 4x4 (or 6x6) truck with funny wide wheels. Common 6x6 truck (especially army truck) with the same upfit could do the same job.
If we use agro truck with full tractor equipment (hitch, hydraulics, PTO and others), so this is a question about price (such agro truck would cost pretty much) and effectiveness in comparison with tractor (tractor has better weight distribution for heavy equipment on the back, tractor cab has a good visibility in the any direction, a lot of controls for equipment and so on).
Maybe these agro trucks with swap body upfits and powered equipment could be used as auxiliary vehicles on the farm, but to be used as the tractors- I think it wouldn't work. (But who knows, I'm not a farmer:)
so it is basiclly a modernised dumber?. That you can switch trailer exc for?
Would be great if it wasn't wet and steep and we had no 12ft gates off narrow lanes.
How does that replace tractor
Mira uno de los capítulos, de accidentes .
El de un avión que cruzó una nube de ceniza .
Se te pondrán los pelos de punta.
Cuando aterrizó el avión entero al desguace. Estaba esmerilado entero.
Un abrazo 😇
Ive used a few trucks for various jobs. spreading,spraying and as a chaserbin/grain cart. A tractor does a better job.
and they are electric too 👍
Tires are wide and low pressure NOT to give safety and stability... It's to spread the load and have lower ground pressure so the field doesn't get damaged. There is a reason why tractors have huge tires and can drive over plants without damaging them.
а ха ха с подкачки колес я поржал
it's thermal, so the same problem with oil as with a tractor that a farmer already owns, so what's the point?
Can't imagine trucks like these taking over much proper agricultural work. An agricultural tractor is fine tuned for this kind of work, whereas a truck is not. Moreover, trucks generally have piss poor fuel consumption figures and poor engine torque figures.
Чё завод Урал вообще не даёт скопировать систему подкачки
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇰🇿
this sounds like it was written by chat gpt
In europe this is called a truck
I guess you are not a farmer or know a lot of farming. Tractors are not "only" used for field work and not only designed to do such tasks.
Agro truck other idea 4 tractor
These cant replace tractors, tractors are still too universal to many jobs for these to compete. We have 2 tractors Case with frontloader and Valtra with forestry crane. We can do normal farm work. We do forestry both falling trees and collecting the logs. We do chipping of the said trees for heating. We haul grain with them because they have 53km/h gearbox. We do crop spraying because the can eqipped with narrow tires and GPS. We do snowwork other with snowplower and other with backend plate and snowbucket. We can do some light excavator work like clearing up ditches when they grown in or too small. And this all with cost of 2 equipment instead of like 5 or 6 specialized equipment.
It's an agro truck until it breaks down, then it's an aggro truck.
Yeah, I've got one or two on Farming Sim. I can highly recommend! LOL
So is it just a jack of all trades or.... I don't see how you could possibly create something that's non-specialized without being worse that something that's specialized.
Tractor is easier to maintain
You buy a 500 hp tractor for less money and..... You can move fast.
Have you seen the price of a new 500hp tractor recently?
needs truck licence, not as good visibility, smaller wheels and wouldnt be good replacement for loader tractors
The world of agriculture should use the chinese automatic, 5g and AI controlled tractor... The one that china made a vid on CZcams...
its something man seems to have copied from tatra
no
I find the artificial narrator SO annoying.
not viable!Fact.Destroyed the land wiht pneus.
that music is annoying and it sucks
Une merde de camion...
Won’t replace tractors because farmers have teenage Eastern European immigrants driving up to 40 tonnes on a car driving licence in tractors with no operators licence, tachograph, drivers regulations etc…. Just like farmers pay no business rates and have thousands of privileges, grants and tax exceptions…. No farmers don’t grow food for us….. they grow food for money…..
OH GOD i'm so tired of this voice
