This is the Volvo with do you class it as a fixed grab or grapple? 

 

Love the thing! Couldn't get tractor to trees so digger brought them out in 6-8'  sections 

 

Ideally next digger wants more weight, and ability to have grab and rotator and twin speed tracking

Odd looking grab, what make? 

Intermacato. TG12 I think the model is. It doesn’t normally have the plates but I asked for them to be put on as I have quite specific job coming up for it.

Can I just ask, why does it appear that no one operates or even rate jcb. I only use 1.5t diggers now and then, so haven't got that much experience, it just seems odd that there is little mention of jcb. Cheers.

absolute cracker of a machine

Had this on site yesterday - great concept and worked very well (the operator knew his stuff and could get the best out of it to be fair).

Really like the concept of those hydrodigs, so efficient on roadside stuff

The only problem holding these back is they are not allowed to tow a trailer, so can’t take more than a couple of attachments to site. If these could they would be a game changer.

how can jcb build a machine like this and then produce such poor mini diggers?

Rightly or wrongly this turned up to site towing an Ifor plant trailer with attachments. 
It all looked legit on the road!

A bit like those electric scooters then, looks like the law will change in some way.
