hiring tractor with roof mount?

[roseyweb]

Well I was looking at a much older machine, having spent a bit of time forwarder driving I know alot of time can be spent on the spanners replacing pipes etc, £300 a day seemed a little low

I hate replacing pipe i once managed to hook all four pipes to the rotor round a bolster and rip them all off. Took all day to get that fixed. Managed to get a windblow across the traielr on monday (bloody close) which took off the oil filter which has taken all week to fix. Parts arived yesterday but they were wrong as i have the only non standard mish mash boxter trailer ever.

Pictures! That be a nice crane on a nice big tractor. 8m reach is a lot of reach bet thats tippy out at full strech. Thought of putting a head on the end of it yet.

 

I've been on the phone to Wilsons every other day since last week trying to fix my trailer after a windblow tree took out the filter. They don't have any 8100-8200 in for what i'm willing to pay at the moment. I'm after the 570TL as you pay a lot extra for the extra meter of reach and add the complexity of a double extending boom.
