  1. As the title states; I'm new to the forum and keen to gather advice on purchasing a new forestry crane for both a forwarding trailer (approx 12 tonne, highspeed axles, which I also need to purchase - possibly new again) and on my new MusMax 8XL chipper which I need to build a drawbar mount for. My first question is if 'A' frame legs on the crane better than the 'Swing Down' type? I'm guessing that the swing down ones are better on softer ground condition but I'm unsure if they as good the 'A' frame type for leveling up - and provide more force - or theres no real difference between the two?! The second question is about brands. I was looking at a Kelsa 305T crane as this has the reach I require (approx 8.5m). As a counter quote I looked at a Palms 840T model which was considerably cheaper - whys this then as they look identical on paper?! Is a Palms crane not as well built Is a Palms crane slower than a Kelsa crane :confused1: Third and last question; has anyone made a demount system to put a crane on different trailers and if so has anyone got any advice / pictures to share. Kind Regards Nitro..........
