Mounting a crane to a bandit 990xp

[LGP Eddie]

Personally I'd give an excavator with a decent rotating grab setup a go for a few days?

 

Plenty of guys have gone this route and found it an extremely cost effective piece of kit to have about. Your crane budget would pretty much get you going with one and with nothing being special build the excavator will lose very little money.

 

Obviously I'm totally biased to excavators but they really can do some work for little money, and even a nice 1.5 tonne machine setup can move serious pieces of timber.

Sound advice. The excavator can be used for so much more other than feeding brush e.g. You can move wood, add a root rake, stump grinder etc. mounting a crane on a small chipper like the 990 really limits you.
