Why dont more people use the swinger 2000

[ALPINE TREE CO.]

Im not in the business anymore but when i was i had a swinger 2000ind with a lundtech grapple and an oversize bucket. In my opinion they are the fastest most turf friendly machine you can buy. Why don't more people use them?

Got any pic's? Turf friendly? What about when it is wet like now? Any idea how much they lift? How much to buy? Thanks for any info!

My old man is always stoked on them, but we don't have one. I have a skidsteer with tracks.

cuz they cost sooooo much!!

My buddy has been stump grinding for years, went full-time in 2008, and added a MultiTrac with a bucket and forks to his arsenal this year. Like the Swinger, it is an awesome machine!

They are great on turf, till they tip over sideways. They are top heavy and I know of several that have gone over on slight hills. I live in Florida, and by most standards we don't even have hills.

Anything will tip over if you use it incorrectly, especially if it articulates. I'm out of CT where there's lots of hills and i never had a problem.

Because swinging is morally wrong. :hmm3grin2orange:

Then I would have to buy a trailer w/ tags and that would cost more money.....:jawdrop:

Swinger? As in propane-loader?

We've got one for sale at work. I power washed it all nice and purdy last week. I think they're asking $8k for it?

Usually diesel.

The ones we had were both propane. I was always so tempted to try and cook a hamburg on them. :angry2:

Top heavy?

that is ruling out SUV's cuz they tip over

these items arent top heavy, its the driver! i bet those suv rollovers are women in clover leaf exits, on the phone, driving too fast

the swinger barely has any weight above its mid section, UNTIL YOU LIFT A LOAD TOO HIGH

these machines can tip over like anything can be broken when it is MISUSED
