Transporter (agriculture)
A transporter is a version of a tractor specially developed for mountain regions .
Transporters were a further development of the motor mowers , after they had become hardly manageable with the turntable steering that is common with them due to the ever increasing weight due to the increase in performance. The first versions of the transporter vehicle category were developed and built by the Schilter company . They were a combination of single-axle tractor with a over ground PTO formed driven trailer. The better transport and climbing performance of the drive-axle trailer compared to normal tractors was supplemented with a steering knuckle, which is less accident-prone than the articulated steering used before . The legislature in Switzerland and Austria created the term motor cart for this . To use it wisely were for the Transporter diverse accessories such as loading wagon , front mower , manure spreaders , crane , winch , mower and specially adapted manure barrels developed.
Similar to the tractor, the transporter became a key machine for mountain farmers in other areas. In comparison to the alternative use of single-axle tractors, a more efficient cultivation of its areas was possible, in particular due to the possibilities of wider tires and higher engine power.
Current and former manufacturers of vans are, for example, Aebi , Reform , Lindner , Rapid , Steinbock , Bucher , Carraro and Goldoni .
