Please can someone give me a rough guide on how much and how far out you can lift stuff with a hiab crane mounted on a fastrac 2150 with out the use of stabiliser legs and does it put a lot of strain on suspension as its fully sprung unlike a conventional tractor. the tractor will not be ballasted and the crane is a small hmf which will lift about a ton at 5 meters. cheers john

You need the stabilisers.

 

A better choice of crane would be a proper timber crane, that way you just pull a lever in the cab and the stabilisers go down. With the lorryloader type crane you'll be forever up and down pulling them out and pushing them back in, especially if you plan to use it in the woods.

Unless they go out hydraulically, like mine :001_tongue:

Showoff!

 

A little HMF won't have those fancy pants hydraulic outriggers though, they will be push pull like mine!

 

My next crane will have powered stabilisers, radio remote, and one more extension than yours!
