September 21, 201610 yr Serious tool jealousy today watching Grand Designs with that tracked pivoting mini digger. Mooreno can't find much about them though
September 22, 201610 yr Author Nope not a Merlo. Just re-watched it. Mooreno designed by a guy called Andy Cox, who was the driver in the programme, can't found out any more info though.
September 22, 201610 yr An 8 tonne digger would have done what he needed. At a push maybe a 5 T. Made him out to be a real smart guy then it shows him manhandling the timber up using the kwikstage as steps. Never heard of a lever hoist or if he wanted to go all out you can even get scaffold hoists. I bought one to lift the 4.2m concrete heads on my build. Done the job in mins with out killing myself.
September 23, 201610 yr Author Presumably a tyre'd digger would have do more damage to the ground though?
September 23, 201610 yr Would be like a ploughed field in mins. An ordinary tracked 5/8t digger with the extension arm would have done the job.
September 25, 201610 yr have a look at this site , this is the guy , http://www.norcar.co.uk/four-track/4589489471
September 28, 201610 yr For the baby version of the 4T - they are reworked wheeled units with a track system that is supposedly patent however Claas have been building them for years as quad track units. Oddly the selling point seems to be on environmental basis which I can't understand - I would have expected it would be more about ease of use on soft surfaces
