roof mount crane tractor

[w6cloggs]

 

I don't know how I ever managed without mine ! It serves me well and is very useful in the yard,yes sometimes in tight places in a wood it may be a little easer if it were mounted on the trailer. but as other has said I tuck it up behind the tractor.

Have you considered a Jake plate mounted crane? What you loose in visibility you make up for in stability.

 

If you want to get into tight spaces look at a 6000 series Valmet. If you want something a bit bigger thus stable look at an 8000 series Valmets. As for a crane Botex if your on a budget anything Scandinavian if you want something a bit more expensive but a bit more thinning friendly.

 

As for lift don't bother with less than 6m anything 7 is a nice 8 is better. Really depends on how you set the sites up to use the crane. Longer reach does normally mean a bigger base unit for the stability.

 

Leaver controls are simple and easy to fix and any operator can jump in and use it. EH is more expensive and fiddly and you need a good opperator to make the most of the increase in productivity.

I've got an valmet 8100 with a crane on a jake plate. I use it for arb and site clearance and don't find visibility an issue, sure id like it to lift more, but that's always going to be the case

Big lifts are for trailers. The 2.8t lift of the botex is really wasted on the roof unless you like damaging axles and tipping over.
