I think he has one of those Mike, also known as a "schmit plate" (sp).

 

Thats what mine fits on.

I'd just use that.

Easy on,easy off.Mine also doubles as a "stump detector" when travelling in long grass.

 

Invaluable!

what the differance in crane lifting/reach capacity hiab vs palfinger

what the differance in crane lifting/reach capacity hiab vs palfinger

 

Hiab 071 7M reach

 

Palfinger 10501 14M reach

 

Palfinger has more lift, but all those extensions are heavy so it losses some.

 

Palfinger will lift about 2.5 ton close in and 450kg at 14M

i would say thats pretty good .half tonish @ full reach is better than carrying it:001_cool:

OK,

 

I just went out and got some pictures and measurements. I wonder if I just remover the ram, and lower lift arm/platform will I be able to just use the plate to static mount? And, were these plates made to handle a static 3 point implement? It measures pretty closely to where I need the reverser, and where the chippers pto shaft meet, assuming I match the top link of the chipper with the top link of the plate, where the ram is currently attached. This would really make life much easier if this all works out.

 

I didn't realize how far this chipper unit extends. It's about 6' from the 3 point links, which is stupid long... and its about the same length with the chute folded up for transport mode. -but, its about 2' less wide when folded up for transport. I may even try to offset the mounting, to compensate for the widths, but may not be necessary. Here are some pics:

 

This changes everything!! and even gives me a new hydraulic circuit to use for my hydraulic winch, which may come in handy up front, but will also add all the extra weight we just cut out.. so, we'll see..

 

Now, with the responses..

 

Thanks!!

definately email alex, i was talking to him this week about this, if you dont get the alignment 100% you will goose your pto on the mog, he recomends putting the reverser straight off the mog not onto the pto then chipper. send him an email mate. a din/schmidt plate doesnt cost much. a few hundred pounds.
