Is there a reason that you don’t reverse the hitch to put the rotator motor on the driver’s side where it can be seen? Or would it block the view of the head/saw? 

It would be upside down so to speak and water/dirt would get in it.

 

You can see it clearly now from the cab, but version 2 has the side plate extended to give the motor protection and that’s being put back on with a cover for the small pipe.

 

The cab side is fine now, just the details on the other side, run it and then tidy it up on a finished design.

Be about 600mm cut and around 1000kg, I’d expect.

 

It’s not reinventing the wheel stuff, it just shows you can be sold solutions that will work, but can they cut it when really put to work.

Tiltrotator installs is one thing I know inside out, and it still pains me to see what some guys are sadly paying for and expected to take to work.

It’s improved dramatically over the past few years as more knowledge is shared and guys get to know what to look out for.

Wade would be the man to ask, he’s been using his grapple saw for a couple of years now.  Well worth subscribing to his channel, he really knows how to deal with trees from backyard felling with a grapple saw to huge clear fells.

I joined the club today. After the advice on this thread I have taken the plunge and bought my first arb digger, a 2008 Takeuchi TB016 with 2900 hours. Collecting next weekemoji3.pngIMG_3015.jpg

What are the pins and bushes like? Whats the machines history. Always wary with a machine of those hours and its been used with a breaker attachment!

It’s an ex hire machine, pins and bushes all remarkably good. No idea how much breaker use it’s had but for the money I am very pleased.
