Does the skid steer headstock have a crowd cylinder on it to?Delivered this little package today, JCB Hydradig that we supplied the attachments for. Rototilt R3 with gripper, Nordic style grading bucket, forks 300mm trench bucket and a Hurricane Utility bucket. Mounted on the factory fitted skidsteer headstock.
Love this little set-up

It does yes
Giles showed me this the other night, along with a couple of nice Krupp/PPM AT cranes .... you'd need to keep on top of keeping one of these up to scratch
Be grand behind the fastrak
had enough room cleared in a few minutes with the loader and the rest in and pushed out in under an hour on my own. The front loaders are so handy be lost without ours nowThis loader was such a good investment. f***ed up and forgot about the power lines so had to drop on the road, which completely blocked it
That’s on top of the work it’s done on this job moving dirt over fences, moving materials and levelling spoil out.
Both the e27 and the multione have done maybe half a tank of diesel on this four day job, and by god they make it easy. Especially knocking in fence posts. Profit!
Made up a self rising steel post for this job- worked well. View attachment 50415View attachment 50416View attachment 50417View attachment 50418View attachment 50419View attachment 50420View attachment 50421
Think @JD450A has used one and said very front heavy with that boom as well. Not nice to grade supposedly
That will be v interesting - look forward to that.....is that the one that digger girl has been demoing @Gunners ?
Should make a good video, looking forward seeing that
I believe so. Think it was at Plantworks, then Scotplant, then went to her. They have fitted the extra counterweight now though probably knowing I would no doubt comment on it as its got the long dipper fitted. Has she done a video on it? I've not seen anything myself
if you're going to build a m/c with a TAB boom, then for ****'s sake build it with enough weight on the arse to compensate ... at that class it's a truck job to shift about anywayI've briefly operated both Cat and Takeuchi 8t machines with Tab booms and Tiltys, and both felt cumbersome and unbalanced, always nice to have additional reach but not at the expense of the agility that's needed to take full advantage of a tiltrotator, would be my opinion.
I guess diggergirl will be doing a review at some point.
Forgot to add ...the idig 3d really interests me ( well the mid setup that can use GPS so it knows when you’ve moved) for me if it knew when you had moved then that would transform it, unfortunately seems like it's not upgradeable.
A whole different ball game when you start using those satellites, but some automatic way of recatching the lazer would be really useful although it doesn’t take long, just tends to interrupt the flow of things I find.
