Not a skiddy, but a good example of the Klou grab in action, we sent this out last week and this was there first Job with it, needless to say they were pleased https://youtu.be/GWiaSsQiIGs
-
Thanks to both @andy ellis and @Will C - I love what we do here and it's customers like yourselves that make it so rewarding
-
Triton is pretty good for budget stuff, my understanding is alot of guys use them on slab beds as they are pretty pokey for the £
-
Not quite, but it'll help! They wanted the Giant but we can't manage in the yard without bit for that long as we use it so much the moving trailers round. So we brought the one that was listed on here a few weeks back, actually suits there job a bit better. Hopefully keep it after the job as I've always wanted one!
-
If I get the time I'll weigh some lumps of would and take some videos of our various machines moving them round, except the ditch witch as that's out for the next 10 weeks. Be an interesting comparison, I'll use the same Log grab on all 3, Klou with no heal and manual swivel

Kennedy Grinding in Craven Arms did some for us years ago when we had a couple of Preds, were fine for the back teeth, wouldn't get the edge for the leaders though
-
Slightly complicated to make although you can buy direct a blank plate for making your own stuff for £150 or so. We have made an adaptor plate for the giant/Avant bracket, doesn't weigh to much and the design of the microBull loader means it doesn't actually change the geometry too much. I'd post some pictures but it's out with a customer at the moment
-
We've made an adaptor plate to use the Giant attachments, as we were short a pair of pallet tines for a local customer. Works fine, doesn't add much weight. The microbull own brand attachments are pretty competitively priced and only as heavy as they need to be. Some others tend to use attachments strong enough to go a much bigger machines, eating into your lift capacity

Klou Log grab, pallet tines, and a bucket of some description covers most things (I do quite like a pelican bucket) Augers handy if your doing a lot of planting or fencing, tow hitch is pretty essential as well (can be fitted with the klou grab, but if moving a 2ton plus trailer I'd always go for a stand alone option) The light weight Klou grab can come with or without the 'heal' part of it and largely depends on what machine it's going on, the Giant handles the heal well, the geometry on the Cast and microBull suit the 'without' version better in my opinion. I'm planning on doing a few videos of both moving brash/logs to chippers and loading trailers to give people a better understanding of this. I'm always happy to answer any questions if you want to know more, we currently have a Giant, worky quad, microbull and ditchwitch on the hire fleet! (Yes I do have a problem!)

Little video of our hire Giant SK252 in action - with the Klou KSG1 Stump grinder - I was pleasantly surprised by how effective this was - Not in the league of a dedicated self propelled machine, but certainly similar to the smaller hp pedestrian machines in my opinion. Nice thing with this unit is you can interchange the attachment plate, it's the same grinder on the Giant and the mini digger, 4 bolts to swap it over.

Got our Sany set up somewhere near now. Very impressed with the spec as standard. 2 proportional Aux functions as standard. Both have I think 8 presets so you can vary the flow in 5% increments, means we can have the rotator on the grab at 5% and the flail set to 100% and you just change the setting on the key pad when you change the implement. Not used it in anger to know general running etc, but all looks sound enough. Local dealer had one in stock as well which is always a nice surprise in the current climate. Made this video this morning, making the most of the sunny spell! Didn't come out quite as smooth as I had in my mind when I thought of it, but quite pleased with the effect non the less. https://youtu.be/DY_0dFUWAWE

Very basic video of the 1m flail in action - this is on back to back grass flails but would cope with bramble/light scrub. I was going fairly steady as I wasn't sure what was in there... Floating linkage works nicely

The mad thing is I spent 10 years as an arb wishing I had access to even half the kit we offer. It was a TW150 and alot of sweat! now we've got it all available and I don't do the job anymore! Couldn't even hire a tracked chipper near me 10 years ago, now we can offer tracked and wheeled loaders, stump grinders, chippers, tracked mewps, Robocuts, alpine tractors, compact timber trailers, digger and grab or flail...

It is, it's on our website www.frankalviti.co.uk

To be fair even wheeled machines your going to need track Mats for any serious amount of material movement. Especially when turning/ spinning involved. We sell the giant machines and have a worky quad we brought for a 6 we hire job we couldn't spare our giant for, so have a good understanding of what's available.
