have you seen the one scotish power are using a bit larger than yours, it has a 20 ton winch on the front and a big crane on the back i think they use it on the power lines

[Stephen Blair]

no mate, looking for a hydraulic winch right now if you know of 1.

ace, i have a lot of draining to do, i have teamed up with my mate who has all his own diggers.

So with clamshell i can self load and fill with gravel.

also run the spoil off site and it will be a 1 man, 1 machine operation.

we will shift it locally by driving it over the hills and thru gates, if it needs shifting further i will just use a local haulier.

 

Ground condition really effects us, this machine will now ensure work right thru winter now. As we will do very little damage

 

Chris, nice 1. we are only here once.

ah nice one, that would be sweet, you going to get something fabricated that fits between the bolsters to hold gravel, soil ect.?

ahh i see you can get around most places without going on the road? thats ideal

would love to come and see that beast working!

[Stephen Blair]

the bolster comes off with 4 bolts then the original sides and autamatic tipping back door clips on. job done
