6 tonner making light work of this wee felling job.

Is that the grx20? I have the grx25 on the jcb86c. Sat in the E27 with TG16 grab today to shift some timber into the mill and it felt like a toy 🤣

 

I borrowed the chainsaw holder from the E19 the other day and grabbed a couple of U bolts that looked about right. It worked a treat, looks like I will need to remake one for the e19!

 

im loving the tab boom on this. It’s a savage amount of digger for 29k with 380 hours. Honestly feels like a new machine in the pins. Somewhat less shiny than yours though!

What advantage does the tab boom give you?  Assume the controls are standard ISO.

Way more reach and also more lifting power close in. Great for working uphill- something which is torture in a normal digger as they are designed just to dig. For groundworks you can close the swing radius right up for tight jobs.  
 

It’s in no way as good  as a timber crane for moving timber but its a lot better than a normal digger. 
 

Controls are standard iso with the tab boom and offset controls on foot pedals.

Do you do a lot of tabbing in and out or tend to set and forget for a few minutes like the offset?

I use it all the time- you get used to using it in conjunction with the regular joystick controls.

I assume it’s fairly gradual on the pedal? Not like a mini boom offset where you press press press and get nothing and then suddenly the pedal gives and you dent the side of a house

I can imagine it being very intuitive on a nice big rocking footplate pedal like a wah wah (guitar effect pedal).

Yes pretty much. Very smooth.
