Looks to me just track back and slew around. Is the drawbar so short you can’t get the arm far enough away from the tractor?

Arrived might have to make part the full ramp removable though!

You'll probably find that offsetting the boom fully and putting it into the corner of the trailer will give you more than enough room without having to load it backwards. If you do cut the ramp I'd cut a decent section out the middle and make it into a door for loading rollers and micros

I think it’ll only be used for 5 ton as I’ve plant trailer and my nice amarok for moving 3 ton stuff etc but I guess never say never.

certainly don’t intend to be out in it a lot as most out jobs are longer term rather than day here day there

As always never say never I've put micros on artics because it was coming back with something big on

Finished up the play ground and started preparing the front of our rugby club for asphalt. Dads built a outside bar/kitchen so tidying up the front to go along with new look.

 

[Giles]

Been cracking on with the rugby club area that’s going to be tarmac, kerbs tomorrow.

The big whacker did a job on the old hardcore and 120 ton mot in today, had the old 3cx out to play as well pushing the stone out

Nice was that about it's limit? How much did you get out of them the other way round?

doubt t'd pick much up t'other way round Thomas ... hell of a lot of leverage .... VA boom'd make a huge difference

Oh I know I was just curious a pack of pin kerbs is enough on a 8t hitachi

Not tried them the other way yet the way hitch is setup they go on easy facing in but bit more faff when away. Going to drop them in mtk get them to make them suitably for kx161 as well

this was limit if you pushed it out like pallet edge 1m from blade then it’d start to nod.
Can rest pallet Against blade though worked well and we laid out 32 50mmx200mm flat tops think they were 1200kg well pleased with them

 

[Gunners]

They will lift a pack of bricks with them facing you. Or a full pallet of indian sandstone. Over 1t anyway. But away from you its like 500kg max id say. I used to put them upside down when I was using them facing away as otherwise they are a pain to get latched onto the quick hitch.

 

[Giles]

Had the probst stone magnet out to remove and relay some 3x2 flags.
Certainly makes it easier with these big horrible buggers

 

[Giles]

Testing pre rotation
