Giant Compact Articulated Loaders

[lumberjack]

Yes sir!

 

[hseII]

Will I have to put the grapple in the chip box, or can I leave it on?

My platform measures 95ish"w x 54" front to back.

 

[lumberjack]

The machine and grapple is right at 102", possibly 103", with the grapple attached.

I've hauled mine sideways on my trailer.

 

[lumberjack]

Here we go:

 

[treebilly]

That's an awesome little machine

 

[treebilly]

In the woods video , what was the average length, diameter, and species you were dealing with on the wood? What is the width of that machine with those turf friendly tires? I'm impressed with it

 

[lumberjack]

That was a dead red oak... I don't really know the lengths and diameters off hand, the stump was likely 28" in diameter. When we are cutting up material we either cut it for what the machine can carry, or to fit an area, drop zone, path to the truck, or the truck's bed.

The tires are 13" wide, 24" in diameter and the overall width of the machine is 48". The machine (without the grapple) is 88" long. Perhaps that will give you some dimensions to help make size comparisons to the logs.

 

[treebilly]

That helped. Can you get different tires and rims to skinny it down and to how narrow? Just being a PITA now.

 

[lumberjack]

Haha the max skinniness is ~35" with 7" wide tires.

 

[treebilly]

Sweet. That's the important part. How small can this beast get. I'll say it again, awesome little machine.

Absolutely.

Thank You.

40.000 $, wow!
Too bad it can't be nothing more than a sweet dream for me

a good groundsman will cost you 30K a year

Thought I would add some more pictures to Wet your whistles over

The Duals under 36" wide option

Branch Manager Edition 254T next to the Avant 528

Just after I snapped this picture, Carl dropped this log

This feature is just one of the reasons I believe,
The BME 254T is superior to all the compact articulating loaders on the US market today.
I have close to 40 hours on the machine now, the oscillation provides so much more traction,
and a much more comfortable ride

Was that Ranger Danger locking the pin??

Looks like an awesome machine, would really fill a niche in my operations, but the wife thinks I have enough toys. Crane, 3 big trucks, 2 conehead chippers, wheel loader 2 pickups and a stump grinder but man I need a nifty Lil loader for the tight access jobs......

 

[tntree]

That is Danger Ranger. mucho talented kid

 

[MasterBlaster]

A kid, for sure.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Damon it Carl! That one with the duals is kill in me.

 

[tntree]

The duels and 13 inch wide tires are badass

 

[tntree]

Adrian working it




We have the loaders

Bump

the telescopic boom, is especially nice with my 38 special stumper , note Kevin Greens Bizarre quad wheel (hearing good things about it)

Heading to Central Park NY on Tuesday, to do some training with a BME 254T and the BMG . Should get some good removal pictures I hope

 

[squisher]

Awesome!

 

[Bixler]

This machine is the real deal. It has been a blessing and a curse. The blessing is we use it on 95% of the jobs. The curse is that we have mini skid and a Gehl AL540 that just sit now! If you need one do it all machine, this is the one.

 

[tntree]

So I went to NY with a new BME 254T to work with a big company. The central park Job got canceled so we went to a high end golf course
