Kranman Bison micro forwarder

[josharb87]

Yeah they’re getting expensive, then again alstor has jacked their prices up too! Too whack alstor here is over 80k! 

 

Id like a go on the diesel 8000 bison, see what the difference is. This 6000 seems thirsty (might only be noticing its consumption as its running aspen mind!)

The one to have out of the Kranman range is the 10000 Pro but it's over £50k now. If I had that money to spend I'd be getting the Kinetic 8x8. 

 

Heading to Finland in 3 weeks to see the Logbullet. Much more sensibly priced and looks really nicely engineered.

Looks good, haven’t looked at them for a while, the original ones had big drawbacks apparently, which look to have been rectified (no reverse drive for example) What’s a fully loaded Kenetic cost? With crane extension, joysticks, winch, lighting etc? And weight?

When I spoke to Riko about 6 months ago it was about £42k plus VAT, and for that they'd chuck on lights and a few extras.

 

The Kinetic comes in at about 2.1t, so a bit heavier. It's a nice machine, but out of my budget really.

Ah, sorry, i googled Logbullet and it looked almost identical to the Kinetic, i assumed it was model name or something, whats the fully loaded logbullet cost? sorry 

[Big J]

About £30k delivered, with tipping body, clam shell attachment and almost all of the other extras.

The log bullet imported to the UK is around £25k, which you will have to do ,as there is no uk dealer.
35hp engine, 1.5t payload , and very exposed hydraulic pipes for the wheels

[josharb87]

You’re right @slack ma girdle, i dropped a log or two today exactly there! I’m sure they could be protected a bit better though? 

 

 

Amazing price! Will be interesting what you make of them @Big J, discount for two?
