Anyone have experence w/ an Agkrane?

I saw this (http://www.agkrane.com/exb060.ivnu) as an alternitive to a pricey FEL. It can lift more then the FEL designed for my tractor and costs less then 1/3 of a FEL. The only problem is I haven't heard of anyone using one or seen one in my area (MO). The nearest dealer to me is in KS, a long drive to 'just look'. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Haven't seen one, though it doesn't appear to be a FEL alternative. In fact, the pictures show it attached to tractors that also have FELs. Looks like an alternative to a boompole and maybe forks on your FEL and maybe a spear on your 3pt. Could be useful if you were doing a lot of solid material handling.

In the Delta Ive seen a few Agkranes with buckets inplace of the forks they work good for rehandling piled materials and can dig packed soils but its hard on the neck I used to build an itme kindal like that a few years ago when i was in college to support friday night activities lol. THe ones i made just had one cylinder and 2 pin positions one for high lifting for the boom and one with to run a bucket attachment That was trip operated like an old manure bucket I may still have one boom left out back. If your looking for a low cost rear loader to use on your tractor I have a few pics of ones ive copied over the years.

Would you post pics of your set up?

Interesting, but I doubt it could replace a FEL. A tractor with both would be handy
