looking awesome stevie, with that engine, whats she like on fuel?

 

she is on her 2nd tank since o got her, she is used daily. at first it was only brash but recently its been moving wet soil/mud. easy 4 ton on her back, she doesnt even drop a rev, excellent in fuel:thumbup1:

 

easily shifted 100 ton today in a few hours:001_smile:

anything is possible but it would loose manouverability and the crane wouldnt be long enough. It would be better on a haggland i think you call them and have a smaller crane and the bunk on the artic back unit.

a big hydraulic winch mounted under the crane on the chasis, re inforce the back body, a big top roller and some welding and then i will have a hardwood extractor:thumbup:

would a counter weight on the front help like tractors, help keep the traction spread even?
