He probably loads that 3/4 ton over the 48" sides on his truck, too.:msp_sneaky:
Are clam trucks still viable in this economy? (for a smaller mid-west residential co)

There's pics in the equipment forum... And i perfer to load my dump trailer with five foot sides using ramps I stack them in there perfect.
The track loaders operating capacity is one third tipping load. Then when you put a platform off the back to stand on thats weven more counterweight. And you can buy a wieght package too.

Wow, yours is still shiney! Had to look in the garage there but then wait, theres no leaves yet
Tell me more about this counter weight package. I was trying to explain that shot to arbor pro, how you have that log under the hinge pin toward the motor. If you really grab it farther, it 'tricks' the weight, and you can really pick up some big wood.Natewood

you should see the job we did yesterday! lil 52 worked hard! i gotta go back and cut the 70+ inch butt today. Five 30+ inch leaders.
I only saw one mt52 with a weight package,but it goes on the slanted area right behind the tracks.Now that I've brought it up I should probably stop by my dealer and see if they're still available.When i was at the dealer in tampa,I think he said not to get the weights for some reason and that bobcat was gonna pull them off the market.I'm guessing it was more liability than mechanical reasons.

Well that sux. I'll find something to booger on there. I think I saw them in a pic on the 55. My 52 works hard on every job thats not a lite trim. I'd take that machine over 5 good gruntys any day of the week. Lately Ive been laying the big rope shots down with it. Now thats sum than 2 C.

Yeah maybe we could teach it to let it run prolly be no worse than the normal groundy
Now tying saw on would be a challenge.

If I had a big chipper with auto feed, Id put it behind a forestry bucket, and wait for the day they come out with remote control like they have on the big ones. Then Id roll out by myself and under bid anything that didnt need a rope, b-cuz I wouldnt have any employees!
Any hoo, wish I had a clammer yesterday, and today. Baby Bobbys nice, but takes longer. 27 hours for me in the last 2 days. Coulda knocked off at least 4 with a clammer.
