New kit - multione 7.3s

[Mick Dempsey]

Sweet setup.

Thanks. Got quite few attachments to get me started.

I have a log grapple on order as well as the rear bull bars and a plexiglass windscreen - want to beef up operator and machine protection. I am going to look at a thin metal grill to go over the plexiglass, will figure it out once it arrives. I want a bit more head on protection when flailing. Probably something detachable.

Here's mine with a grapple.

Out again today - flail cut the grass path edges and 4m sides (a lot of dead elm and masses of ivy) of a 2km right of way. Side shift flail was a good tool for it, floor and sides without changing attachment. Nice to be able to cut the nearest side of the ditches with it as well. Didn't quite have enough reach across to the sides beyond the ditch but the path was far too narrow to get a full size tractor flail arm. Would have taken 2 guys with long reach hedge cutters a month! Very pleased with it.




Also managed to get the 7.3s on my gh94 plant trailer. No attachment but fits like a glove and feels pretty well balanced. Attachments in the back of the transit tipper or pickup. Going to try it like that for a while and see how it works out. I much prefer a small plant trailer to the big ifor flatbed.

I like that. I have gone for 'side on' grapple as its mainly for shifting bigger stems/rings. I have a skidding grapple from an alpine that I was considering attaching via a 3pt linkage adaptor. Be good to be able to load lengthways or sideways depending on the situation.

I feel I might have developed a bit of an habit. I better step away from the multione website before I end up with another 5 attachments.

Good luck with that!  It’s addictive! The more you use it, the more useful it becomes!!

The leveller is definitely on the list! I like the soil screen - how much was that one? I got a quote from multione for their screening bucket and nearly fell off my seat. Crazy expensive.

The main attachments with any compact loader are bucket, pallet fork, log grab or thumb, grapple, 4-1 bucket, level'er, I would also recommend the multione mower collector for mowing most types of grass when you need to collect it, the rest of the stuff is starting to get in to the specialised sector but well worth a look, the machine becomes whatever the attachment is fitted.

Do you do subbie work with this as I have an upcoming job which this would be ideal for if your in the right area. I have sent you a message also.

Cheers Chris
