Compact telehandler

From last month, the start of a new burn pile:

That huge grapple reminds me of Hulk Hands. :laughing:

:laughing: Yep, it may be as strong too :thumbsup:.

I can't justify the cost of a telehandler, but man, I can drool all day :drool:

:laughing:

The cost ($52K) was less than some of the bigger tractors I have seen on here and it will do more and go places they can't.

Even with a brand new cost of around $70k for the v519, it's the same as a new tractor. And you are exactly right, it does more. MUCH more. My front mounted hydraulic bush-hog doesn't even bat an eye at stuff I wouldn't even consider with my tractor bush-hog. And the options for tools are nearly endless.

Right, and here is a V519 thread for those that haven't seen it: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums...1162-v519-compact-telehandler.html?highlight=

And a 7' brush hog on my V417:

I can't justify the cost of a big tractor, either! :laughing:

(don't need one either. , but it would be fun!)

I really like the linkage on your bush-hog - how it allows the angle to tilt. Was that the way it came, or was that something separate?

 

[Xfaxman]

It came that way. It is needed with the front castor wheel.

But I can also curl up and keep the front wheel up off of the ground if necessary .
