Opico Skidster or sherpa mini loaders

[Mark Bolam]

It’s like Mick said.

 

Nothing on there is particularly impressive on it’s own, but when you’ve handballed thousands of tonnes of it in the past you really appreciate the benefits.

Testing/playing😅, 6 post mix, 4 wet sand, 2 cement, pallet.

Wheels flat on the ground till I put the 2nd bag of cement on which was also further away from the head.   

Definitely enjoy having this around the yard👍👍

 

 

Until we have the powered exoskeleton from Alien, these things are boss.

Got loaded by a Sherpa this morning, very impressed by what it could manage on the skiniest tyres, in deep mud. 

Got to have a play myself, feels much smaller than the Giant, but it's on wheels 1/3 the size, and it's dangling 75kg of grab, not my superlight pallet forks👍👍 

The grab really impressed, definitely want one of some kind for brash but for timber I prefer my forks👍👍 

 

And has been said before, smaller weights, handled quicker, are definitely the way to get the most out of these machines 👍👍 cut that big log in 2, pick 2 bits quickly  and easily,  rather than fighting with 1 right on the limit 👍👍

What were you loading them up for?

 

I agree with the sentiment, but you don't want to be cutting saw logs in half!

Firewood (and lovely logs its making too,👍👍)

A mates dumping ground has expanded too far forward, the land owners wanted some of there space back. 

If it was milling timber I'd have found a way, probably taken the mill to their yard with the Giant on the truck...

Those logs are for sale then? Otherwise surely you'd just burn slabwood from your mill!

Yeah all for sale👍

I need a bucket for my Worky Quad.

Avant buckets seem a fair bit cheaper and much more readily available.

 

The headstocks are meant to be compatible, but if I get an Avant bucket will it fit straight on?
