That's cute!

Yours is certainly bigger than mine.

Only having a laugh! 

 

Yours looks good, just the turning on lawns, and the speed put me off.

 

Anything is 100x  better than handballing.

 

And yes, getting a grinder and a loader on the same trailer is a real winner.

[Jon@CareFell]

Probably lifts about the same though.

Doesn't matter anyway, tipping capacity of 1 man=50 kg, on a good day, for about 45 minutes.

Another advantage of wheeled machines is when working on undulating ground the wheels can easily adjust to dips in the ground- a small track machine is rigid and any undulation makes the whole machine rock which can be a little off putting when carrying a heavy lump!

i can Defo see a few advantages of a boxer but I think these advantages are mainly confined (pardon the pun) to small spaces.

I don't really work in gardens, but just in terms of usability- I have a 3ton digger/grab and also a 85hp tractor with forks. The efficiency of a digger IMO is far greater than the loader and is always my weapon of choice when clearing scrub, brash and stacking timber but where it really falls short is is distance is involved and only then do I begrudgingly get into my tractor! I know my example is bigger kit then you are envisaging but basically the same principle.

That does look ace. I bet it's a good tool for brash bonfires too!

That silage grab is what the machine came with, this timber grab is what I use day in day out now.
