Thats an awesome rig with the crane in your photo skyhuck. You ever need to rent in much kit then?

 

Never rent anything :001_smile:

sorry what i ment by saying they get stuck was they are very heavy and sink IMO .

 

Sky hucks mog is the nuts probably one of the best equiped tree surgery mogs on the road, but it has come at a great expense. If anyone is looking buy or use a unimog for tree work the bench mark has been made.

 

I have owened a mog and worked for worked a company wich run mogs and none of them realy use then to there full.

Very true!!

 

I run a mog so I don't need any other machines, its a winch tractor, an off road chipping unit, a forwarder, timber wagon,ect,ect.

 

Its not cheep to maintain but it does ever thing I ask it to.

I like your style mate:001_tongue:one machine to do it all. I can relate to that on a much smaller scale- my defender has to do a hell of a lot to earn its keep, and be expected to go anywhere and get out again, loaded or not. Sometimes its no wonder i am breaking it all the time! Maybe i need a mog...:001_smile:16112007108.jpg.995ee5281989581a6b07e3d22b0a7df7.jpg

That log on the trailer is sweet chestnut- its a 10x5 ifor. It took several hours to get that out of the woods with pto winch, which also loaded it onto the trailer with ramps and cant hooks.......i think you get the gist of it. Wish i had a machine like yours sometimes. That landrover cost me about 14000 to run and maintain the year before last! That was a record mind, and did a huge mileage that year. Oh well!
