1.5 ton and grapple will save you so much time and make you a lot of profit. Buy smart and it won't cost much either, they hold their money well. Start with a grapple and buckets. Other attachments will help later but might not add that much to the bottom line on a small carrier. It's the cheapest man on the job by far .

I havent really a problem with towing weights really as i have a defender 90 and 12 foot ifor which copes easy with a 2 tonne bobcat and grab etc.mini digger is no problem.I dont think i have seen a 2 tonne mini digger will have to google some pics!!! I have found a nice new grab and rotator for £950 its a intermacato grab and a baltrotor rotator which sounds a fair price.Its of a local dealer who is good to deal with.

 

The new 2t bobcat got a great review in this months earthmovers. Looks a nice machine

We are just about to do the same, but also putting an auger on it for our fencing contracts! Not sure where to go for the grab though

 

FR Jones do various grabs at good prices - look under forestry section

I think you are right doobin im convinced it will give you the edge when moving timber and brash quickly speeding the job up which means more money in the pocket and less labour got to be good!!!! I will look at fr jones website....

Much truth in here, we helped another contractor with this tree and he used his little 1.5 tonner with a grapple to clear it all up on his own. He is 70 years old.

A Vahva jussi grab and rotator would be well suited to a 1.5t machine and are only £560+vat! Bargain!

 

I like the grab setup on this takeuchi. Very clever for extra reach and lift height.

Where did you see those grabs for sale? i looked at a cheap chinese thing yesterday and that was £750 plus vat.... it did come with its own rotator mind....
