Looks very handy and well constructed. Noticed the ball hitch at the back, what have you been towing? Cheers, steve

nothing yet but the intention is to tow the chipper etc it also helps when you are tying it on to the trailer

Put bolsters on mine yesterday, this load may have been a little ambitious though, wouldn't pull in second gear.

i am always amazed at how much they can carry that looks like a proper load ours is rated at 580kg and it'll pull it up 35 degrees

[bobh]

Mines rated at 350kg, I think that load was a wee bit over that. No idea about the angle it will pull up, pretty steep though. Across a slope is a bit different, had it on its side a few times.

Got a tow bar on mine too, needs a bit on the front for balance/grip but very good for shifting trailers around with the ground as wet as it is now.

P.S. Only paid £200 for it as it jumped out of 2nd gear, I put a bungee on the gear lever to hold it in place, works a treat. 👍

can i ask what the original base was that you purchased?

[bobh]

Mine is a Kubota, great engine but the body work is starting to get a bit tired.

Basically the same as this one.

If I had the chance to get one with a hydraulic tipper at the right price I'd jump at it, would be even more versatile.

Any progress with the grab? I like the idea, got me thinking if it could be adapted to run an auger for fence post holes!?

I was happier not knowing what it was going to be, I wanted it to be like Ed 209
