Portinscale just out side Keswick was just under 4ft at the wide end and 10ft long been back today to do some smaller bits and managed to roll some to the road side and pick up with my crane to take back home to cut with my bandsew mill

Loving the Crane! How much can that lift?

Lifts 800kg at 4.2 meters and around a 1.5 ton close up its been a winner

Awesome! Would love something like that. How much would I expect to pay for something similar?

Similar age, i bet £6k - £10k depending on achievable weight/lift of hiab. Tidy MAN on flea bay at min for £8.5k +vat

Got a phone call at 7.30am yesterday from a local tree surgeon saying he's got a couple of elm logs.
So picked up the main stem today.
Should get done this week before I have to collect the rest of it.
