If they intend to use this scissor lift
then it's going to take forever because it's just absolutely superb on snow and ice 😳😣🤢

see that a couple of weeks ago, but haven't watched Mat's video yet ... was a steal at first glance
so having watched it, I'd say that's a Grove TMS 2584 ... solid lifter ... couldn't decide if it was a 4084, 'til i'd seen the boom size and 't ain't big enough for a 40tonner plus the outriggers are only single extension
he's gonna have it on its side if he doesn't get some decent half sleeper cribbing for under his jack pads ... his ground's way too soft without it ... a crane in the hands of someone with only a little knowledge of it is an accident waiting to happen.:rolleyes:
Bought a TMS180 once that'd been 'laid over' ... some idiot got in it, tele-ed out and swung round -- without the outriggers out or jacks down ... bent no3 section, when it hit the deck :(
Only ever seen one 4084 in the metal ... Grove had one in their yard in Bicester for their own use ... they were an awesome lifter

3.5k seems to run ok tbf

Towing it up that hill with the F450 was fun👊
was a bargain ... wouldn't mind finding one of those local too :giggle:(y)(y)

Bump started my Hydrocon Huntsman 15 tonner once with a SIII SWB Landy, on the flat ... starter'd packed up and needed to move it PDQ ... :giggle:

"what's the catch?" ..... I don't see any SLI on it and with an inexperienced bum in the seat, with little idea, it could get exciting/expensive real quick :oops::(
Did worry slightly about the cribbing situ..or lack of. Matts got a sound head tho 😊

Preservation of forestry roads allowing less materials in their construction.
In forestry it's not unusual to see road going wagons fitted with central tyre inflation for reduced pressure running and convoy running is banned
