Micro bull experiences?

[Dave Alviti]

Nice little load heading out this week - MicroBull, Grapple w/capstan, pelican bucket and 130L bucket

Some reporting after 50h of use. Machine has been over all expections and it has become already everyday tool. Everything has been working as it should. Machine is not very complicated and doesn't have too much safety switches etc. but it's still safe to work. Machine is surprisingly stable to drive with load in rough terrain. Tracks leave some marks on grass but nothing severe. We had log grab and pelican bucket. Both of those work fine and the log grab seems to be better for tree work. For handling branches log grab works best when coming from above. Grab opens about 80cm so pretty close for small hanging style grab. Only thing what is not so ideal in this machine is its maintenance because everything has been packed so well. For example adding hydraulic oil is trough pump in take hose.

Some chip handling in 1ton bag. Surprisingly well can move just squeezing with log grab.

Looks good - I've seen a few other mini loader attachments that are essentially an upside down set of pallet tines for moving bulk bags, meaning the boom is in a lower position when in transport - The little log grab works well - a good amount of crushing force and can even shift logs lengthways  -

That looks a very handy machine.  Whas goin on with that blue impact block though as it looks to be configured incorrectly or is it a photo illusion?
