Do you think you could get a post knocker on a bigger one? I think they are 1.5 ton and around a meter wide.
If you got a couple Druid we could come up to visit and play skid steers.
I wanted to see what doobins was like but as soon as I drove it on the soil it sank up to its belly.

The yanks run them with the breaker type post knockers but haven't seen one with a drop weight type. Looking at the lift capacity it would do the smallest ones but not anything capable of knocking strainers in. And would only be any good in very good going

That was on narrow wheels. Much better on wide wheels. Still not a patch on tracks for pushing dirt though.

My Sherpa will just about take the knocker I use 90% of the time on my diggers. I think it’s a 110kg weight. Does 5-7” strainers unless the ground is hard.

That big vmeng will do rated cap of 500kg and tipping load of 1500kg according to the specs.

I'd hard pushed to justify getting one @Russell let alone a breeding pair, or even a gaggle
