Iron horse power!

[Chris Hayes]

Hi,

i've been working in woodlands for over ten years and the Ironhorse has been my go to machine, but am thinking of trading up trailer with mounted crane, like a VahvaJussi, just wondering if people have experience with the latter and the pros and cons.Have pasted in a link to my Ironhorse so people can see what I have been using.

Thanks

Chris

Nice piece of kit there Chris! Like the tree house too!!

Always thought that the Hoss was a decent piece of kit and surprised that I didn't see more of it. Good luck with the sale.

Looks a good set up. Is that a bear?!

I have never seen these before, they look a really useful tool, what does something like that weigh?

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

I was surprised how (relatively) expensive they seem since it appears to be pretty much a "one trick pony" (excuse the pun!!)

How much are they? who is the uk distributor? i can only find info on us sites.

I'm not sure if there is a UK dealer for the Iron Horses? Are they still built by Jonsered?

 

Was in sweden a few months ago and saw loads of them - made a comment to one guy about how few I'd ever seen in the UK and he was surprised as they get used for all sorts over there.

 

I did wonder if there was a bit of a market for shipping second hand ones across.

A company call Marshall's import them. I had to email for details. I can't remember how much they were. But I've just brought a quad instead, but an open horse is next on the list. I can see loads of uses for them.

They look great with the crane on.
