What a load of Cow Manure.

A member of this forum asked for some photos when I next used by MB for a towing cow manure. There is close to 1.5 tons here & the suspension is very stable. The diesel torque gives great lugging power. In picture 3, I transfer the trailer to my 4 wheel drive tractor for the final haul to the house.

I don't understand why you have to do that with your C...?

Attached below a photo of the receiving end of all the cow manure. Please note how green the citrus , mangoes , vegetables & nut trees are growing.

To answer why I use the C Class, towing would consist about 1% of its use so why buy a 4x4 ?. I chose the car because I knew it would do the job.

The dairy farm where I source the manure is a few kms on a public road & as the tractor is not licenced the C does the job .

Anyone for a juicy orange?
