Nice looking rig Kim  how much? Articulated loaders are great for manouvering but it sure is a different feeling driving one. I have driven Letourneu loaders when i worked in the mines. Thats a massive mulch scoop mate. Is the Kubota diesel or petrol?

| Re: new loader
Schäffer is one of the top brands here in europe.Must have cost nearly a fortune this one... Meaning somewhere around 30.000 dollars... Most loaders we have around here are the articulated ones. I've been looking at a new loader too but I can't make up my mind.I'm known for weighing decisions for a long time, and then going for the one I've chosen, simply not looking at costs. I've been invited to a demo of a new bobcat with steerable weels. So you can shift it from skid-steer to normal steering with the flip of a switch. Very very expensive machines too... |

Im trying to work smarter not harder. labours hard to get here and i end up doing a lot of jobs on my own or with just one bloke,having labour saving devices is a real morale booster,just come off a job where 15 metre trees were covered in bougainvillia and the loader was a great help in shoving them thru the chipper | |

| Re: new loader
schäffer is very common over here. it´s very very versatile,(just like your  vegemite), and you will find one on every farm. i´m more and more intrested in somthing smaller and a kanga dealer is just 1hour driving away. does the 2series do the job or will i be better off, getting myself the 5series. i guess i´ll need a 4in1 bucket, fork and a grapple bucket?!? the 2series has this small width of 80cm. the 5series is stronger. sounds cunfused? yes i am. any ideas out there? greets, becks
