Very, lots of uses, good and strong. Really can destroy roots to get stumps out. The only problem is it comes with a welded on stud and nut to hold the pins in, which is a rubbish idea for a soil engaging tool! I've replaced them with a more normal pin and r clip arrangement, would be worth specifying when ordering.

But its a great tool. I have often used it to tear up ground before digging it up with a bulk bucket, rather than having to use the 2ft toothed bucket. I've also dug planting trenches with virtually no soil disturbance. I've pilot holed gate posts with it, ripped out sheets of concrete, handled tons of timber. 

I wouldn't be without it.

I have a ripper for my k008,and its a godsend, but on tree stumps, i like the idea of the saw part being able to slice through the roots.

Might have to order one up!

K008, with a digbits thumb and 450 bucket? Why no quick hitch??

Yes, no quick hitch as I'm a peasant! The machine doesn't get much use, mainly just at home.

 

I got the digbits thumb as I seen their bigger versions on a mates diggers. It's well designed and strudy, but I thought the finish was terrible. Covered in weld spatter and sharp edges?

Spotted this lovely little Selector Grab whilst out at the Pladett factory this week.

Only 75kg and beautifully made with 3 years warranty.

Certainly turn a 1.5 tonner into a versatile tool.?

 

They also had the smallest Powertilt I’d ever seen?

Won’t be the cheapest I’d expect, but Pladett gear is top quality and a fully integrated unit not a rotator bolted to a grab unit.

I’ll find out more but I’d expect touch over 3k with Head Bracket.

Can’t really convey what a journey it’s been so far with this machine, but cracking it now.

Have a new Felling Head landing shortly for it, moving away from Big Shears, they have their place, but not for me.

Hard to scale, but touching nearly 19 metres of outreach or height in this configuration with extension and around 13 metres when the Engcon and Shears are on it.

Seriously versatile and productive now.

the mecanil head has been  a game changer for us

Took me an age to crack it on an Excavator, but got it now.

Don’t mind admitting to being slightly nervous, but I was up at Molson’s Workshops yesterday to see how far off the Sennebogen 718 Mobile is off being ready to go.

Loads of compliance stuff being added at present, but delighted it should be available from December.

Full range of attachments to shakedown on this first, and looking forward to getting it away from prying eyes and seeing what it can really do.

Wow that looks interesting!

Bit of a coincidence but I was in germany last week and saw 2 big Sennebogen with high lift cabs and very LONG booms with flails doing verge clearance on the A4 south of Cologne.

Wish I'd got a picture as they looked very impressive and productive.

Very popular in Europe, but literally going crazy for them in America.

As ever the UK will warm to it in ten years time!?
