Looked much slower than a decent man, IMO.

Probably would have been quicker with a decent driver! 🤤

Saw one working a couple of months ago & yes it work'ed ok , taking into consideration it was mid summer, it was been used on some very damp land.

Was the floating boom option installed on the machine?

If you had to use an aerator regularly would you buy the attachment or buy a dedicated machine?

No problem, Pleased we could help.

This is what I had in mind. Perfect fit. Should shovel a whole lot of chip.

That's got the job sorted nice sized bucket, less journeys = increased & better tyre life.

Yeah, 900 litre but heaped I reckon it'll be 1200. I have the 4 in 1 and a HD digging bucket. Should be pretty sorted now.

We tried to fob " Smurf " of telling him this was a " Green - MultiOne " but he noticed, he threw his arms in the air & demanded a Blue one, saying " Blue is best "

 

Guess he does know his stuff after all,

i almost bought a green one in 2008  but at the last minute the dealer (Vermeer) got greedy.

End up with a 2026 Schaffer  a great little loader which has nearly 3000 hours on it now

Is there an attachment that will split timber rings where they lay - ie something that will crunch thro it whilst picking it up - not a 'normal' splitter. I have a large pile of rings to process and i'm hoping there's a less painful way of me picking them up onto the log splitter to split them - cos some of them are rather large.

Something like this could be adapted. Not sure how speedy it'll be.

What splitter have you got? pick them up with grab and put on splitter maybe an option.
