Not for arb, for general landscaping.

 

Are the benefits of a hydraulic version worth the extra wonga?

Thx guys

Stroll down to the near bottom of this page for a video on this topic from a member called Eddie. There are interesting comments on this very topic throughout that thread, if you have the time to scan through.

My 2 bobs worth- for multi purpose a fixed grab (as opposed to rotating) is fine for general timber handling/scrub clearance, . I use mine for all sorts of things (grubbing out gorse bushes by the roots etc and piling up for burning and for the outlay its probably once of my most used bits of kit. RSL make well built grabs and thumbs- definiately reccomend

I went for the bog standard rsl manual thumb and ripper tooth, I plan on getting a grapple and rake combo at some point but always wanted the thumb to avoid any "I wish I had the grab with me" scenarios on general digging jobs where I might not have had the room to take a special grab with me.
