Try and find yourself a Timberliner 8000 drive trailer and crane then sell the Botex.

I really would not bother with the vreten they look well built but there not

 

I'll third that, crane looks good but found the 1 I used for a while very underpowered especially on the slew rams and struggled with anything bigger than chipwood. Always having problems with the electric controls for the grab and extension.

Should add the palms I have had a few go's with was excellent and seemed to perform above its specs.

No i don't know them. One I drive from time to time you are forever finding cracks and welds failing

I saw a Kronos 6020 mounted on a Jake plate the other week looked a tidy crane. Which means you retain the use of the 3pl for chipper or winch.

How do u find the Botex 360...

 

 

It's ok , it's had a few issues like I don't think any of the bolts or hoses were tightened in the factory but it does the job, it won't lift big timber but will drag stuff in then lift it closer like most of the smaller cranes ,the 560 would be a better crane for Arb work.

I did like the massive wheels and clearances on the vreten especially after getting stuck a few times last week this may have been avoided..

I've Seen quite a few vreten In FMS's yard they looked well built and with the right clearances for work in boggy ground....have heard nothing negative about them before talking to users , I've got to say if you had brought it from FMS they would of done every thing possible to make it work and help if you had problems, I've never known a company go out there way more to be helpful.

Fms have been good but when you buy some thing like that you want it to last longer then a year before you start having parts replaced
