What sort of radius gives you 2 tonnes plus Eddie? What can the JCB cut and hold 15-20m up?  
How much reach and what sort of capacity does the Merlo offer @Gray git? 
 

If I need max capacity I’d take the Liebherr and Westtech Grapple Saw, if I need maximum reach I’d use the JCB

 

If I need fastest cycle times and the ability to reach down slopes then the excavator based solutions can’t be beaten.

 

If I need maximum height I’d just use the heads on a Rotating Telehandler to get the tops out, and let the excavators pick up the rest.

 

Horses for courses.

Again really depends on where your reaching too as I have more capacity 8m out and 20m up than I do 15m out and 4m up and also depends on which head I have on as the GMT is half as heavy as the westtech but with far less cut and grip capacity and as Eddie says I can't reach down so useless if the trees are on a down slope apart from getting the stuff about wher I'm set up, anything under has to be chained and lifted.
Beauty with my machine is I have a live load chart screen constantly telling me wher I am and what capacity I have left so I know what's safe to take as a big lump or pick apart.

[Gray git]

Depends on what setup is fitted to it, but approx 22 metres and 500kg clear capacity at that reach full 360.
 
Eddie.

That's impressive!
Quick cycle time too I expect.
Yeah I think you could be heading up our way on this job for whoever gets it as I don't know of any other machines that can do that.

What sort of reach (radius) would the Liebherr have 2 tonne capacity then out of interest? 

[LGP Eddie]

It all depends what configuration you want it in, (there’s many) and there’s actual capacity on the chart and clear working capacity minus the attachment.

 

I work the solution to the job.
