How did you fare with the big Leibherr repair Eddie?

I dont seem to have seen you about this while?

Cheers

mth

 

Liebherr repair is finally underway thanks. It has been a total nightmare for me, but I'll hopefully be back in action in around a week with my new Kobelco unit and the Liebherr following back soon after.

 

I'll probably take a few adverts out as both are aimed at guys who simply need a few days muscle on the job and then off again.

The Kobelco is some spec and I'm looking forward to getting it all finished and shaken down.

 

I miss the Kubota, but I've done that class of machine to death and want to offer solutions to guys who would normally think such kit out of reach.

 

 

Eddie.

Haha why have you had a few problems with it? It doesn't seem to be the strongest thing in the world I must admit.

Just always seem to be welding it up! I think it would be perfect for the use of stacking 3m lengths of seasoned spruce.. however in reality, the everyday lumps within the diggers capibility is not within the grabs capibility!

Get a fixed demo grab for timber wrestling.

Had mine 3.5 years, abused the life out it, not even a ding in it![ATTACH]221629[/ATTACH]

 

Couldn't agree more. Free swinging grabs just straightforward rob you of an extra dimension the excavator can provide over traditional timber cranes.

It's almost a culture thing, guys are used to having a swinging grab and rotator and seem reluctant to try anything else.

Cost is obviously a factor, but when you see what benefits something like an Intermercato grab, properly setup fixed to the machine with heavy duty rotator, it's night and day.
