Which tractor for small grassy airport
Hi
We look for a tractor, thad will do a heavy duty work in small grass airport in Prague. The airport has 800m long RWY and the total area of aerodrome is around 220.000 m2.
We want to maintain the grass on airfield, and also to get rid of the snow during winter.
We do not plan to tow planes with tractor.
Is there any operator, who can reccomend us good tractor for airport? We look for 100% reliability, nothing is more important for us.

We have tried several Kind of tractors, just to find out that only an MB Truck can do the Job.
We use a MB Truck 1000 with front and rear hydraulics now.
It is used for gras cutting and also for snow removal.
Easy to maintain and due to its 4 weel drive never had problems in winter.

WF Trac
Shure the Unimog can do the Job, but visibility is much better from the MB Trac.
That will safe your Runwaylights during Grass cuting and Snow removal.
The MB Trac was produced by Mercedes Benz until 1991.
Now it is built with some modifications by a different company called
Werner Forst und Industrietechnik.
The Name has also changed, it is called WF Trac now.

East Midlands Airport uses JCB fast tracks for the winter stuff and as a farm tractor would be suited to grass cutting though I do not think they are cheap.
JCB: Airport
Probably have some photos of them being used in the winter, if you want I could post some up for you.
