    see mini loaders in treework thread
  9. John Shutler
    not wanting to derail the other thread to much with talk about loaders etc, heres a thread to blether on about them obviously theres a few choices but i went for a boxer 427, and frankly i wouldnt consider doing dismantles without it now it weighs roughly a ton, has a width of 44 inches and can lift roughly 72 inches in hieght. it can pick up about 3/4 of a ton, slightly more with 3 guys hanging off the back:sneaky2:

    i take 3 sheets of 3/4 inch ply with me to track over sensitive areas or to take sharp turns on. although it weighs a ton it has fairly low ground pressure on account of the wide tracks in terms of climbers, we are a two man team with a part time 3rd man when needed. we tend to stack from the tree where possible if we are both climbing. mess always looks worse than it actually is

    i run with 2 climbers, we knock out reductions in half the time and chip up together. that way theres nobody standing around and your climbing for half the time with my mini loader we can shift timber quick and save on clearing up sawdust no other companys round my way work this way who has the advantage?
  15. John Shutler
    Well that's different isn't it!! I had my last treemotion for 3 years, I'm pretty sure I can justify the 35p a day it cost me
  16. John Shutler

    maccy removal and dead goat willow propped on shed and in conifer ( was standing when i quoted 2 months ago) and eucalyptus reduction (no pic) took most of the weight of then winched it over with the grcs with a block at the top of the maccy stem loader makes shifting the wood easy all chip stayed on site

    The Isuzu will carry more legally than a transit
