mini loaders in treework

[John Shutler]

not wanting to derail the other thread to much with talk about loaders etc, heres a thread to blether on about them

obviously theres a few choices but i went for a boxer 427, and frankly i wouldnt consider doing dismantles without it now

it weighs roughly a ton, has a width of 44 inches and can lift roughly 72 inches in hieght. it can pick up about 3/4 of a ton, slightly more with 3 guys hanging off the back:sneaky2:

Yep she's def a handy little workhorse

 

I still think you want a tow hitch/eye or similar on the front for pulling a small barrow trailer - that would save time on long trips.

i paid 9 all in for mine with bucket, grab bucket and pallet forks(essential imo for moving decent sized pieces of wood) its second hand with 305hrs on it

the 427 is a petrol machine

yeah you can get a grinder attachment, but dont know what its like

im sure you could get it on the back of a transit with some decent ramps
