Seems a bit of overkill having that (albeit small) forestry machine on a lawn, but minimal damage I guess.

Minimal damage and best of all minimal effort.

No different to a multione or avant, except lower ground pressure, and less runs!

 

[Mick Dempsey]

Is that right you can tow the lot behind a pickup?

[josharb87]

The machine weighs about 1.8 ton, I use the beaver tail car transport trailer for the machine, load the logs (as in the picture) on the trailer then roll them off later

I hadn’t realised they were so light.

Only 30k as well.

Watching vids on YT. Atm.

IMO it suits arborist work, (over here and for my type of work anyway) far better than loaders. For me loaders only exceed at lifting heavy oversized bits - Those trees are pretty rare here now.

The stems on the trailer are pretty average diameter of tree i take down. About 4,5m long the logs were just over one load on the machine, i think the branches from the 4 trees was 5 loads and no shuffling the machine about to grab and collect like a loader. I went back the day after to grind the stumps, you couldnt tell it'd been in there.

 

The only real downside is the trailer used to transport it aint a tipper!

Is the deck on the LB wide enough to fit your tipping trailer on Josh?

 

Could you weld two channels to the deck for the trailer wheels and just pull the trailer on with the crane?

[josharb87]

Nah, no way, the tippers bed is 3.6x2m, plus draw bar etc. the logbullet is 5x1.8m the decks about 2.5m long
