Another pond job.

Got my mates kubota u35 there, I think it's prity decent, always a nice change to drive it compared to my 8025.

However as much room as there is you currently can't get all the way round the pond so fortunately the groundworkers let us use their 6t for reaching the other side

where about is that? Dore?

Little outing for the avant today.

Lifted 2x 6m 300x100 channel in. Few obstacles in the way. Hardest part was manipulating them round the back of the acros, so I could then lift them up.

Lifted 2 smaller steels for them too.

Made a change to the usual.

What sort of weight can it lift comfortably? I'm thinking about a 640 as it ticks alot of boxes for me.
Is yours a 2 speed model?

Yes 2 speed.

I'm still getting used to it's limits.

In terms of today, it lifted to full reach comfortably and felt stable enough to move forwards and backwards considering they were 6m long. I also had to lift them over some brick pillars and trees to get them in and it travelled OK with it fully up (didn't need to use extender to clear them)

It will pick a 1000kg pallet up and travel with it, not sure how far you'd lift it before face planting. It'll fill the 4in1 and I've had that extended up and out ok.

It handles a bulk bag on the bag lifter quiet well. Especially if you go up before extending and not the other way round.

Float has been disconnected on mine, not sure why but I think I may look into why just in case I get any other attachments.

No water main in the floor whatsoever.

Builder used the copper pipe as a measuring stick.
