Yep I always say think like an Egyptian, it's a wicked tool and there are so many applications for it. The winch is radio controlled so I got involved too. We did make sure that every strop/ ramp/ rope and pulley was within capacity before we tried. I don't think we can get much more on it but screwy and squirrel on here do!!!

To be honest i had the same thought about novelty. I wont use this if the drag is short, i wont use this if the drag is long and open as we have a quad and timber trailer. Its for carrying 5 loads worth in one on those tricky sites. I have possible got 10 jobs lined up already where it will be crucial to the smooth running. Those two lads dont like kit outside of the ordinary hence why my mini chipper and battery hedge trimmer still look like new.

I have a few adaptations to the trolley which will make it even more useful. I have owned it for 2 weeks now and this is its 3rd outing with great effect.

 

Oh and yes if you bribe sean with cake he will lift anything!!!!!!

I liked the look of the product when it was a prototype and even more so when it was launched.

However since then I have still not found even one job worth thinking about having one.

 

Maybe you need one to get your new big felling lever on site.:001_tt2:

I'm not convinced, but what did you say "battery hedge trimmer!!" your kidding!!

 

Its done a good job today, but 400 quid to move one cherry log, its still has a long way to go! I could probably have found a way to move that with two (30 quid) sack trucks tied together to make a trolley or some other contraption but time will tell.

 

I showed it to the guys workign for me last summer and they sdaid no thanks, that was before I saw the price!
