Small Tracked forwarder

[Jestrac]

Hi all I've finally logged in!!

 

I'm just finishing building my small tracked forwarder and was wandering what was the best crane to mount on the machine

the carrying capacity is about 2-4 ton (not to sure yet) and trying to find a crane around the 500kg mark with the best reach. I'm not sure what to go for any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks James

Kranman and Farma sell suitable cranes of high quality that can be mounted on a small forwarder.

Hi there thanks to everyone for there input. Hopefully the photos will appear for you all to have a look at! I still haven't finished her yet but she goes well and the foot print is so minimal. I'm looking forward to getting the crane sorted and get it working

Any pointers or advice much appreciated!

(The bonnet has not yet been painted and the rear tub has not been started on yet)

Nice to see a tracked machine with a comfortable cab. Most you see are just a cabless seat.

Looks a fantastic base unit for a very capable forwarder.

a timber grab on the back off that would be the ticket

Here you go.

 

Farma would be my choice tho.
