That was a great idea using the log to smooth out the path!!! New truck looks nice and clean inside, and Boone with his own seat cover looked comfy! Very cool, thanks Sam! 8) --gary
Awesome vids! Been running that grapple for a little while now. Compared to the dangle type, would you go the same route if you were to purchase again?
Good question! Also would like to know if the rotator has a neutral position, so that the rotor will follow the load without giving the load any resistance.
What does that mecalac cost and how expensive are the attachments? Is it a universal bobcat coupler so you can use existing attachments, or is every proprietary?
Great stuff. How many hours on er? I think this machine is really clever just curious how its gonna take cali conditions. Seems like lotsa pins. Hows dealer support? Machinery lover here and dig yer operation! Best of luck Cheers from Santa Cruz mountains
@@VBELTandSON Looks like its the real deal! Would love to see one guarded up w a high n wide UC fer yer type o terrain. Maybe Jewel w build one! Great stuff
If I am not mistaken you have operated both the 8MCR and your current10 MCR, would the smaller machines be able to perform similarly or is the 10 a must have for timber harvesting. I think I am going to order an 8 MCR for spring but screw the rubber track, going metal tracks from the get go and rubber tracks are need later so be it
@@VBELTandSON Don't discount it completely, its impressive what and where an MWR can go, especially when its dry. Its not a replacement for tracks in certain situations but they are incredibly capable.
@ben If you are working off road with a wheeled machine, dual wheels are the last option you want, the big flotation type tyres are far better for traction.
@@specialistplantsouthwestlt3873 Wheeled excavator are good when they are street legal or you work alot on paved ground. On dirt tracks are way better specialy because the Mecalac is already pretty fast, you probably cant drive much faster on the jobside anyway
Hey Sam I got a question, so those D rings you welded onto the machine, what would happen if you got into an accident and those broke? You would be liable correct?
@@VBELTandSON I was thinking like if you crash and the d rings broke off and the machine hit another car, if a Lawyer knew you put those on I think it would be worse then if it was the factory tie downs, then I believe it would be on them for the failure
Should get a bucket or make a carrier that fits on the blade so small stuff like firewood can be tossed in there and transported off. like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qaX5-qbKk6U.html
