A fixed (ie non-swing) rotating grab gives massively more control and dexterity than any other type BUT is subjected to a great deal more forces than one that swings, so needs to be used with a degree of mechanical sympathy and built as strongly as possible. For the money suggested above I’d probably consider the Kelfri free swinger, as I’m not sure how well a cheap grab would stand up to being fixed onto a digger.

Intermacto or however you spell it. Hands down the best, most robust grab for smaller machines. Ours gets used with zero sympathy, used daily, for tree work, demolition, forestry, ripping out smaller stumps, ripping old fences, used as bucket when I forget one, you name it. 6 years and not a fault

How many hours are you up to on that? Any issues?

Lots and it hasn’t missed a beat Ruben, the thing just goes from job to job. Could really do with coming in for some love.

Would be very interested to hear feedback on this machine, they look a really smart bit of kit.

I’ve been surprised at what’s included from the factory as standard, even more than the sany. I’m awaiting a cost atm for one, wonder what it’s comparable to.

I have a hankering for a 6t machinenin the new year. I like older stuff usually so mid to late 90' or early 2000's. Any makes or models worth a shout at this age? Budget maybe 10-12k. 

 

Nothing set in stone yet but been looking at some machines and seems achievable. 

 

Would be for a grab and shear. Maybe a flail at some point. Thanks
