Digger with grapple hire East Midlands

[benedmonds]

We have at least three weeks of work with LOTS of chipping. I have never used a digger with grab but would be interested to try one with an operator or without.. for feeding our 10 inch chippers..

 

I am guessing a 2-3 ton machine would be ideal.. ?

 

If you have one or know of one in the Nottingham, Derby Loughborough area let me know..

I can't face trawling the 45 pages of the arb digger thread... What is the optimum size digger for aiding the chipping of a load of big trees. We have a loader tractor and 10 inch chippers. I am thinking a 3 ton machine. I don't want it to be too unwieldy and smash up the chippers.

 

Advice please..

[madmatt]

I would say 3 tonne would be OK Ben 5 tonne absolute tops

When are you wanting it? I've got a mate that could do it but has just left to go Canada for two weeks.

Is there not someone with a timber crane near you?

 

We regularly feed our chipper with the timber grab on the hiab and works fine.
