It's Much easier loading a trailer with a rear mount, it will get on your tits constantly working over the box

 

+1 on the rear mount, if it can be detachable even better. I think rear mounts for this game make more sense, with a rear mount you can back right up to a rivers edge and use the whole of its reach unhindered , also a lot easier for loading/unloading trailers. Great looking mog Ian .

Currently it will do 1.2t at full reach. So I'm not massively worried. Would my lift capacity be reduced if I moved it?

 

No .

Cheers,

 

Might change the crane for a newer one after its started earning. Long term buy so I think it's going to be changed around a bit.

Hi Ian.

In one of the pictures you have a large log grab on the hook. Could I ask where you got it? I'm currently looking for one myself.

Ps what's the max reach of the crane?

Thanks in advance, looks like a smashing setup. I've just acquired something similar. Let's hope they are as good as we imagine.

Just borrowed it from the joinery near to me. Clarks might sell them or riko

Hi Ian

Thanks for the tip.

Clarks do have some big tongs.

Can't see what they are rated at so I'll give them a buzz this week.

Looking forward to the mog updates.

Cheers Jon.

I'll have to keep looking then. As 1 ton ain't good enough for what I want.

So today the new heavy duty springs, silencer and pipes arrived. Didn't get a picture because I was in a rush.

 

Super speedy delivery by Atkinson vos. A rarity in Norfolk.

 

Next to order a fuel tank.
