Fair spec of a used 4cx here.

 

Sadly lacking the extra rotate circuit for a grab by the look of it, but certainly a two way auxiliary that’ll run a Shear and the extra long legs will get you up a fair bit higher.

 

Plenty of options got ticked, would have been some money new.

Yes obviously the old gag about needing it whilst you wait for the fitter, may or may not apply!!?

Have 1 extra cx for your money, a full 5 for the price of 4...

Didn't spot a coffee machine though

Could be a interesting addition for people doing lot of chipper feeding with a 8 - 15 t machine where you need more reach but haven't got room for a true long reach, it'd be interesting to see how stable it would be with Eddie's grapple saw fitted.
I'd guess also useful if you have restricted overhead space with other trees or cables.

Here’s one with Westtech’s version of the Mecanil on it.

Big mistake going with the 3 arm configuration, you actually look for limbs to wrap the 4 finger type around to ensure a 100% hold at times.

 

Having used such a setup and another in build, I’d say 20 tonne under it to make it worthwhile.

I ran mine on my SK270SRLC Kobelco with the Mecanil, she was pushing 32 tonne plus and 3.4 metres wide with no tail, but rock solid with the extension.

Nice setup with that walking leg on it and being able to lock the head in so it's not swinging around wildly, wouldn't mind making something like it for my jak250 on the bobcat E85 as it can be a pain not being able to easily push down on it

Put the big slippers on the JS145 long reach yesterday.

First time I’ve swapped them and certainly an effortless process if you follow the procedure.

Having an Engcon and Grab makes life easier, but a set of pallet forks on the Engcon would be the tool for the job.

Main thing is I now know I’ll be happy to do them on site without the aid of another machine and the JS can lift a full LGP track no drama.

 

The one application I’ll say makes a cordless grease gun welcome.

Just spent a week on the old JCB 806 C with the ditching bucket successfully helping to release the massive amount of water that has been building up in the drains and ditches

However I just had about fifty yards left to do on the last drain in the woods and the track came off the front idler having hit a stump

It should go back on easily enough but it is better with two people so it can wait till later.

While I was waiting a little Bank vole came out into the stream and swam like a jet boat.   Amazing little creature, I did not know they could swim like that and it did not seem frightened of me at all.
