Re:Re:Lumberjack Jimny

A short video of my Jimny towing the gang mowers. I'm really pleased with how quick and easy it is and what a nice job it does! Much better than the noisy tractor and hay mower I used before.

A few more pictures of the Jimny at work. It's getting pretty wet in the woods now and we've been a bit too ambitious loading the trailer at times, but the Jimny is coping pretty well.


Stuck in the soft wet peat here...


But with a bit or weight out of the trailer I could drive a few yards onto firmer ground and all was well.

Holy moly, that looks a load and a half for the jimny.

This is a proper working Jimny!

It looks like you work it hard too. What tyres are you running Busta?

I wonder if you'd benefit from a rocklobster to be able to pull that load with less strain on the clutch? If you use it alot the whine of a rocklobster might get irritating though.

Edit : The roof bars look like a good improvement!

Impressive that mind !

It gets worked hard but copes just fine. It really is a fantastic vehicle for the work I'm doing. I think Suzuki have really missed a trick by not pushing them towards farmers and other outdoor industries.

Tyres are BFG MT, 215/75. Running them at 15psi in the woods. Wide tyres on the trailer would be nice. A rocklobster would be good but to be honest 1st low is fine for all the work I do and I'm still doing a lot of road miles so I'm not sure if I'd cope with the whine. It's got a liana lump in it now which makes things easier.
