i bet you can get sod all on it before your train weight is over.

[Stephen Blair]

these are great ideas, and even though they seem expensive, looked after it will last you 10years, but it is the whole weight issue as Steve said. Am i right in thinking that American pickups are allowed to tow a serious amount more.

I said you shouldn't have washed Skyhuck as hot as that, look you've shrunk him!

caledonian forestry services have a second hand ifor williams with rexon crane and power pack for just under 8k.

Its all well and good BUT it would be interesting to know what the nose weight is on the towing hitch with the trailer unloaded & the crane in its transport position, as the 2 sections of the arm would almost counteract them selves when folded back on them selves along the length of the trailer but the base & kingpost + extra chassis steel-work would put 50% of its mass on the tow hitch & the rotor & grab ~30% of its mass, if the nose weight was >150kg then even land rovers couldn’t tow it so it would only be of use to tow behind trucks above ~5t. (there are very few 4x4 that can tow 3.5t with a nose weight above 120kg)

 

also why is it seemingly OK depict it on the back of a something that can probably only tow 2700kg MAM when it’s a 3500kg MAM trailer?

Looks a waste of time and money to me mate, at the most it will only carry 1.5 tons at the very most that is..
