Will your tractor pull 13.5tons at 45 MPH, while carrying 3tons of chip?

The om mog engine is bomb proof, the only failures we have had x3 with them is when the rad gets blocked with crud from the chipper and no one is in the cab to see whats going on with the engine temperature so they get cooked.Gear boxes are running all day every day, when you add up the miles then the pto hours I think they are pretty tough.

We wouldent be without them you based in the area? The u140l have had about 13 year I think its a good tool works hard has an 7" ducker on the front 12m mewp

 

U1450 has more power and load capacity 11m mewp 10"ducker on front grate chipper

 

The 2150 was brought for moveing timber and big site clerance jobs

 

Bothe of these we had built from chassis cab buy A.C Price at a fair expense you need the work for them and it helps if you can maintain them your self if not it will be exspensive

 

 

What sort of work do you carrie out ?

Is the ul140 running a hydraulic chipper or pto ?

 

Mechanical pto. bumped up the price a fair bit when it was built as the chassis never had the facility. useto only have 540 output

But a few year ago had a 1:2 box put on the chipper
