I am very very envious Are your trailers from Price ?

[skyhuck]

Yes, Alex all the way.

I thought about one of these for timber extraction.

Good looking tool.

 

I run a very small firm,me and one or two groundies.Theres only me who drives the mog,so i don't really want to have more than one vehicle.

 

I went down the road of getting more staff and vehicles and found it to be a real pain in the arse,more hassle,less money,more paper work and less of what i love,climbing trees.

Exactly the same here mate, i did have a forestry tractor with crane and trailer and sold it to get the mog, we really need lifting kit but i just don't know which way to go argghhh.

Buzz,I would talk to Alex, the trailer i have tips three ways has high mesh sides for chip,removable bolsters,and can be stripped down to a flat bed,i moved my own 20' shipping container.

 

It is very stable,Palfinger thought i would need extra legs,but once it was fitted they tried it and it passed its safety test with flying colours! they were amazed!

 

Mr Ed have a good crane cheap,its on earborist for £2200.

I went to look at that exact truck, superb value, think he wants £14k for it, absolutely immaculate condition, perfect for treework.

This one? http://www.earborist.com/Other_Loglift-71f-Crane_3536.php Thanks skyhuk.

This has been sat in my yard for ages, and needs to go (read as need the cash for something else...).

 

It would go really nicely on a trailer behind a mog....

 

That unit of yours is really nice skyhuk - reckon I would prefer it on the back end of the mog, but I suppose that would ruin your chip box.
