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!?

 

it probably could be adapted but the hydraulic rv is set to 110 bar so i think this would be a bit too low for it

Thats a shame, was hatching a plan! Can the RV (relief valve?) be reset to a higher pressure or swaped?

almost forgot to post picture of its first job we were trying to find its limits so today its been bogged rolled front ways and then flung a track all in all a good day a bit of mods to get done as the timber slipped out of the lifter so i welded retainers on the bottom and put an extra pulling eye on the front of the chassis to stop it flipping front ways when its pulling

yep but the valve block is only 3/8 bsp i think post borers are 1/2 i don't think there will be enough flow as well i aint to keen on raising the rv pressure as the machine is built fairly light i don't really fancy bending frames and links

Fair one mate! I was thinking it might have been a cheaper option to a skid steer / mini digger with auger! I appreciate that it would never be as good as these machines but would be easier than digging by hand!
