With engine driven pump and strengthening it's about 600kg

I thought long and hard about this years ago, I ended up going down a different route buying a valtra instead but not because the landy crane is a bad idea.

 

Great for picking up timber on jobs and even small dismantles, lifting stems out of gardens over fences etc, plus if you deliver logs in bulk bags it would be ace, I was going to have a 110 landy with a toolbox behind the cab and a hiab behind that.....

how easy is it to mount a pto on a 90? is this possible on any other pickups?

 

Hi Brett my mate done mine mate look easy but then he is a good chap 👍thanks Jon

As soon as you said 'dedicated crane unit only' I thought 'What a cracking idea'!

Very interested to see where you go with this Brett.

I wouldn't like to say, but I would think something around the size I have on the trailer, which is meant for a 3500kg base vehicle.

I'm not 100% on this but if you reclassify this as a crane carrier does it not then exclude you from pulling a trailer?.

A guy I bought land rover parts from years back, put a digger on the chassis of his 90, but the flexing and twisting at reach split the chassis rails. Rover chassis's arent that great. - would need a subframe for the crane , therefore more weight

Thats only if you reclassify it as a crane, you could just keep it PLG and its not a problem. The reason dedicated cranes can't tow is because they run on red. if you keep it as ply and run on white you can still tow..

Isn't that always the way with the revenue. Win one way and lose it again elsewhere. Evil robbing dogs !!
