have any of you mounted a hiab to the front of a mog ?

[combined tree services]

was just looking on flebay and saw a mog with a hiab fitted to the front of the mog , have any of you ever done this or seen it done ? i would have thought that the weight would be way to much ?

yehaa!!, who needs stabilisers when you have springs?? Its a 3 point linkage crane bolted on the front, cant wait till B101uk sees this, and the wriggly tin greedy sides are awesome:thumbup:

I wondered when Shrek would come to this, Steve, I still have that remote crane to fit on the front of your next Mog and it has stabilisers!

i have seen one like this before and it had a second one bolted to the very back

although i think the front one was on a three point linkage

I don't think weight will be much of a problem, that crane will weigh under a ton (IMO) and is mounted very close in, which really helps. Also much of the weight is over the cab and rear body, when its stored and the stabilizers will take the weight when its in use.

i forgot the stabiliser on the patrunas are telescopic so maybe it still has them on, i am just huffy coz i always wanted to do that and didnt lol

 

Pete, your price will keep it on the pallet in the corner of a shed:sneaky2:
