Hiab vehicle

Does your tractor hydraulics run it fast enough or are you on a PTO pump

just need a ladder to reach the controls

Yea it’s way faster than I was expecting you have to watch the slew especially tractor has a 110Lpm pump tho, I have got the ladders of the wagon but was thinking of making the cable controls moveable to either tractor back window or ground level save climbing up every time suppose I should of got a hiab with electric controls

I would sack the cables off. They are never as good to operate as the nearside controls and get worse with age. Then come winter they all freeze and you can't use the crane atall.

If you find it is a bit rapid you could always hang it off the back of the David Brown, that should slow things down a bit

My Fassi runs on electric pump at 8lpm (IIRC) Keeps it very calm and under control. Very slow on the extensions but fine for what we do

Did notice plenty of play in them levers but I’m used to old shite I quite liked the idea of them though back window tho then I could walk things around the yard without climbing up and down all the time
