Very suitable.
As with all multi-plex ride-on's routine maintenance is compulsory. The time taken to grease 5 x lift arms & reels & 10 x rollers is longer than a triplex obviously.
Remember the cost of servicing 5 units on an annual basis too.
There are a couple of members on here that run these and a Test venue down here that has a 3235C (with boxes) that I know of.

Sounds like you are still trying to spend ECB machinary grant money Peter. I did'nt think there was any left to spend this year.

I've got one at Woodhill Peter, if you want a go come down!
It's good but is due a grease and the number of nipples is in excess of sixty!!!! (If you can find 'em all that is!)
Bed knife to cylinder is dead easy and it's a big powerful bugger so does my place in one hour. Servicing is at twenty hours (ish) so ten weeks. But, I tend to do it every eight weeks, so it's due now.

I go in on 13th July to have a trapped nerve un-trapped! L 6 I believe. Kendal Hosp. Will be off for at least 4 weeks.
If you fancy lending a hand at the ground mention it to someone on T'committee.
J C said on Sunday, when he was sat next to me, that he'd seen you. It must be the lager LOL
