I was struggling to find a fork and grapple man enough for tree work so I had a fabrication company make this for me.

That looks more like a silage grab, do the tynes not get bent when you try and pick up gnarly bits?

250kg I'm told is their conservative rating only about 100 less than the £20k+ competition

Get a bit more ballast on and it'll lift more I'm guessing. Looks a tidy little machine!

The original grab was alway bending and snapping tynes. This one not a chance they are pretty big. I'm using it today I will try to take some pictures.

 

I have a weight plate on the back where you stand to increase the lift capacity and for big bits an extra guy of two on the back helps.

I was looking at buying one a few months ago what put me off was the width for its size, how do you get on with it.

What sort of cash are we looking at for the base unit?

[woody paul]

A base unit from Pons medda engineering how are starting to build them again is £10,264 + vat.

Second hand £2500-£4000 depends on what its like.
