Is the micro arb truck worth the expense

[TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX]

yeah thats what im looking at it has attachments for other stuff i just want to know if they are reliable hardworking etc

 

does the engine last, is the build quality going to last at least 3-5 years without rusting and busting ?.

 

does anyone have one thats rates or hates ?.

The muck truck is good, Honda engine pretty bombproof. If they'll take the abuse a builder will give them, arb work will be fine!

 

Can't speak for the build quality of the 'arb' truck bits, but they're well overpriced. Nothing a decent agri mechanic couldn't do much cheaper.

heres our tracked arbtruck uses the same chassis as the stump grinder but with pinned on attachments we were using it today to haul some ash from the bottom of a farmers park we had no chance of getting the iveco near it 8 loads of this was enough to overload the iveco twice

Interesting maybe just stick with a muck truck then

we have had a muck truck for 3 years now and its still going strong u can put a flat bed on it witch is very good for moving big rings

dump body is good for wood and I use it quite a bit for the jo-beau moving chip in long gardens where u only have a gate to go through

 

that arbtruc is made for the job so I would say its good as its made from a much truck

see if I can dig a vid or pic out for u

hope that help

IMO the muck truck is worth every bit of money u spend on it

It saves me employing a extra man on some jobs

 

When we first got are one it was a good Q is it worth the money

But I use it more and more I would not be with out are one:thumbup:

Great bit of kit!! Especially if you can get it up to the tree!! Lower big bits straight into it and away it goes!! You also get them with tracks!! Normally around half a tonne!!

can anyone recommend where to buy one for a good price from ?. I have a guy that seems genuine but requires a bacs sent first and then the unit is sent out.

 

The problem is if they dont send the unit i am out of pocket, first time ive buy machinery like this ?.
