mini skidsteers/loaders

[gensetsteve]

Just my opinion but I cant justify spending decent wedge on a machine that cant lift approaching 1000kg . I tend to have my bobcat which lifts 800kg at a push and a 3 tonne telehandler.

We occasionally lift big trees with the avant 635, 1.5 tonne plus, like Deans machine it has foam filled tires and big counter weights, only downside being with no attachements on the front it can tend to wheelie for no reason:001_smile:

The Vermeer mini skid cannot lift as much being abit tippy, but you can move a tonne around close to the ground with the s800tx.

I do find it quite amusing that if someone mentioned a cheap Mculloch saw or homebase special they get shot down, but people are actually considering buying this little skidsteer it, knowing what we do with ours that thing would be done by 10 am and in the scrap bin by the end of the day. The tracks looks like they will fall off just going round. Also there would be no chance of getting it onto a site as I doubt it is CE marked etc.

I realise the bigger brands are an expensive proposition but in this case you really do get what you pay for.

Got my grinder out for my skidsteer today, no way as fast as purpose made grinders but this stump was big and fair play it got through it! It has a multitip head on it so it pretty quick.

Aha! glad this thread has resurrected.

Now for me the main reason for buying one of these little beauties was to cut down the lifting/cutting on takedowns.

Having had this thumb attached to my mini-digger I can honestly say that this does the job brilliantly and at 400 squid leaves enough moolah for something else cool.

do you have any videos of this in action?

[Theocus]

not yet, i have just got a contract for 200 stumps at a golf course so there will be a video in due course. i think i have found it limitations today but it did cope well with the big stump.

It's called The Criquet, I have drooled over your loaders for long enough so when i spotted this and I saw the factory was 90 mins from me I went to get one.

it is not up to the level (quality or power) of the Boxer or Vermeer but s/h those things are like hen's teeth.

Will lift 350 kg (which is it's weight) and can go in the back of the Ranger.

Cannot do a link but if you google "chargeur frontal plus" and go onto "nos produits" you will find it.

Mick ps €3500.

 

How are you getting on with your 'chargeur' Le Sanglier?

Got to replace the fins on the TW first.

Lot of spanners on the workshop floor atm!

boxer mounted stump grinder.

completely different way of grinding stumps to a normal style grinder but very pleased with it plus it makes further use of the boxer
