Makes stripping the roof safer

Not looking forward to pulling the long roof to the left off tomrrow, it’s totally knackered, think we will just run the circular saw up the laths and pull the rafters off one at a time.. it’s abit soft and spongy up there to say the least!

Few farm walling rebuild jobs I've been doing the last few months . Mostly earth backed but the one with Doosan was single skin freestanding.

Varies really. The big stuff is all done by machine and I just need to check alignment and wedge accordingly but the top courses I do alot more handballing, it's all the tamping soil which is the killer! The little 216 takeuchi with the grab is an absolute gem on the smaller stuff. Easier to get in and out every couple of mins and position even the smaller rock which saves the back a bit at least.

Thanks! It's a balance, you want to make it all look nice but at the same time all done by the meter so have to shimmy along a bit otherwise never make any money.

I think even the Drema might struggle with that - I think they weigh around 1.5 tonnes before you pick up a bucket!..

I can't understand what you would be doing with a machine that size that would need a tilty other than demo. And a tilty is a bit vulnerable when you look at how well guarded demo attachments are.
I remember Trax on the old forum having strong enough thoughts on quick hitches alone
