out of courocity how does it handle on the better than the botex

 

So it's you I have to thank

 

I have never used a noted roofmount, I used to own a kesla though.

 

I have only played on this tractor for 10 mins tbh.

first obvios diference is visibility , you just have to look around the king post.

it certainly isn't as top heavy due to the lower mounting.

so far that's allI can tell you.

 

I looked at the build of the botex while at Jas wilsons yard and they are very impressive. Especially the grab and rotators.

I now have a botex grab as the original was worn, and even visually it's a lot sturdier looking.

Dave still wanting some pics of your chipper

 

Go and have a play on a valmet and crane first in the woods and on site before you try a fastrak. You already have the Mog, so that box is ticked and won't be beaten.

 

Ps cheers guys

as you do A lot of arb work it may intrest you that stabliser can be atached to the jake frame and the would be handy for those extra heavy lifts you get

 

ps what was your old roof mount

[NI Tree]

dave if you are needing felexablity this is the sort of set up you what i would lol

[Stephen Blair]

It has levers for legs, if they didn't get in the way I would be tempted.

 

My last tractor was an 8950 with Foresteri 9m crane.

all singing and dancing, reverse drive etc.
