110 cherry picker

[john p]

I suppose now that we have hijacked Joels thread we might as well carry on Thats a mother of a lift for a landy Gray

 

On the back of ours we fitted a 6 ton hydraulic winch betwwen the chassis rails with spades that run off a diverter valve from the picker hydraulics. Also fitted a pull out drawbar, it comes out about 3 feet. It all gets a bit heavy and the old landy engine used to struggle a bit so we fitted 3.5 litre nissan patrol engine in it. All up its about 2.8 tons

That's well cool!!

Sorry Joel, didn't want to hijack your thred but we have so

Is yours a 10 or 12m? Looking a lot better now than it did, a decent set if wheels and treds can transform the look of a landy.

 

That's 1mean winch in the back of that landy! She must have been a linesman's construction vehicle in a former life.

We built the thing from scratch Gray about 15 years ago. Its a cherry picker off our defunct transit. The winch was a spare hydraulic unit we had kicking about We were destroying too many baskets so we fabricated one in steel, never had a problem since. The cut down van back has a full width locker in the side which is spot on for cans , saws and kit, behind the seats inside there is a shelf over the top of the lockers which is handy for all the other clutter the lads need . The cage also comes in handy to for somewhere to strap down pole saws etc, to call it a handy truck is understatement.

Hi it's an 10m the tyres I had fitted at my yard my KK MOBILE £600 for a set of 5 the 110 can drive across wet fields without any spinning,

I'm fitting a winch up front but going for 12v as there cheep to buy and easy to fit I did think about hydro but then iv got no drive when useing it as the pto on my 110 needs the transfer box in neutral

[Joel77]

You've got to love the cage/working platform on the blue cherry picker it's got me thinking lol, with a landrover there's so many things you can do with them to suit your needs

I put a warrior 1200 on my other 130 and it's proved an excellent winch with the bonus of built in remote control so if your using it to pull a stem over the cutter can be in control from the stump especially handy if out of line of site.
