very old botex could say its an antique

 

Is it one of the 50 series ones or even earlier than that? I learnt on a 5050 5m of reach and i with about 12 levers. Oh what a joy a 560tl with the joysticks was.

 

Given the choice of the cranab, kesla or moheda cranes i think it would come down to who gave me the most bang for my buck as it were. They're all fantastic forestry cranes. I'd have a slight leaning towards a double extension cranab as thats what i had on an 820 i drove and it was fantasticly quick and smooth. If its a parallel moheda crane i'd be put off as despite their increasing popularity i really think parallel is better suited to harvesting rather than forwarding.

Have a look at the flow rates required for the cranes. You may need a pto pump to get the best out of them if the MB trac hydraulics aren't too powerful.

 

Might be worth seeing the cost of full electro hydraulic as well. Adds a degree of complexity but also add massive ease of operation and increases productivity.
