Nice machine, I bought the wee Yanmar and collected today 

Nice- seems like it’s the time of year to treat ourselves! Hope it works out well for you.

Very nice ?. Is it coming with a shear or grapple saw on it too? Be a handy machine for dodgey roadside trees and ash dieback.

It will do eventually but 8-12 weeks till that lands, ordered a new rotating man basket and merlo will be coming out to update the controls so the boom functions can be fully remote control to comply with th regs for controlling the basket from itself and itl mean when the grapple is fitted you don't need to be in the cab so can stand out for a better view.
Dealing with the dead and dangerous is why we decided to make the investment as already do a lot of roadside stuff so was looking at bigger mewps but this is more multi purpose so hopefully kept busy and help keep staff safer.

It’s a route I’ve been contemplating - I’ll be watching how you get on with interest! Significant investment but very versatile how you are setting it up - if you are able to keep it pretty busy then it’s a no brainer. 

Any idea what sort of weight of piece you’ll be able to shear at max radius?

Any reason why merlo and not manitou
