readiescards Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Serious tool jealousy today watching Grand Designs with that tracked pivoting mini digger. Mooreno can't find much about them though
readiescards Posted September 22, 2016 Author Posted September 22, 2016 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.
Declan52 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 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.
readiescards Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 Presumably a tyre'd digger would have do more damage to the ground though?
Declan52 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Would be like a ploughed field in mins. An ordinary tracked 5/8t digger with the extension arm would have done the job. 1
valmet10 Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 have a look at this site , this is the guy , http://www.norcar.co.uk/four-track/4589489471
PeterW Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 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
