I'll be selling my 9x4 plant trailer if it's any good to anyone, gh95 bever tail. 15 month old nd only ever carried a zt grinder with mats under the tracks.

Send me details I ve just sold a machine and the customer is after a trailer

I carry my MO in a gh94 beabertail. Can't get any attachments on with it but it's a brilliant trailer to tow. Perfect behind a 4x4.

Ok so I have just (hopefully) joined the mini articulated loader club brought an avant 520.  Fist thing I need is the log grab/timber grapple.

 

Is knock about ok or do I need a rotator..?

 

Recommendations please.

Rotator will make it heavier but is handy. The one on my Tobroco is handy in tight spaces.

I have a knockabout, it’s great.

 

Multione have just brought out a grapple with rotator, looks good, check out some Facebook owners clubs for info.

If your looking to feed chippers with your machine then it is more effective.

Hywel Evans seems to have been the place to go in the past, designs seem to have moved on since last discussed here 2 years ago..

Does it need a heel? 

It's going to be used by employees (less careful then owner operators)  will a rotator be more likely to cause accidental  damage? Do we need any alterations to make the rotator work? or is it just plug and go?

Yes, you absolutely need a heel.

 

Been putting up a new log store round the back, MO makes life a lot easier.

I know guys using them without but personally a heel will make it better and sit better and less swing in the grab. The rotator s are fast so you need to be careful of people, bodywork etc. I ve only used one a few times(I am yet to own one) and it takes some getting used to. The pressure of people watching their chipper etc doesn’t help. Get the guys practicing off site first. 

 

Personally I would have one with a cranked arm rather than straight this willl help with load centering, lift and visibility. 

 

They all have plus and and minus points but a rotator grab and big log grab and your sorted. 

 

I also like the look of Hywel’s recent one. 

 

This is is MultiOnes new offerings.
