Contracting to another company to assist with felling works on a golf course. A fair bit of brash burnt and timber stacked over the last few days. The 6 tonner proving that it’s more than capable on the larger sites with a bit of methodology and a reasonable operator. All timber cut to 7 or 14ft for extraction in a couple of weeks time

6 tonne class with a full tail are such capable units.? Great job.

There's not a lot you can't do when there's a grab and rotator on this tb175. Lifting these 30ft lengths of windblown Ash out across this dry bog hole in our old sandstone Quarry on this beautiful Saturday. I got bogged down here the winter before last with it, after getting a bit too cocky with one of these lumps pushing me through the frozen crust. No worries this time. Using our old Thwaites as a forwarder! 02f88ea31db42205217a108190936826.jpg969680cdb59b89a13ba383a33cf48e98.jpg887cf9d7af85371811057cbed2eec8bb.jpg

Which thumb is that Conor? Who makes it, Looks quite good with a bit of a curve better for holding timber. 
Company called ferrybridge. It's a great thumb, (of course I would say that, I'm so used to it now!) the geometry is measured well against the bucket, the outer teeth and thumb spikes form a pinch point and with a bit of practise you can even pick out strands of barbed wire or the farmers favourite- baler twine!
I bought the digger secondhand from the above company. They had fitted the grab when new.
