up here in MN we mostly called them a Prentice loader no matter what brand, technically thought it was called a Knuckle Boom loader mounted on your debris truck making it a clamtruck
Minnesota nomenclature ?
Justin has got it down, Branch Managers Rake making tree life easier. Thanks Ben @ Hiawatha Tree for the Idea. We now have rakes for all style grapples. Dave the tree guy Founder and Industry leader for over 20 years focusing on Tree guy mini attachments
Branch Manager's Mecanil Rake, another original from the Dave the tree guy. Founder and Industry leader for over 20 years focusing on Tree guy mini attachments
Here is a one truck setup I had built for a friend, Custom 24' Goose dump with Platform, all the attachments a one man band tree guy could need (if you have a Class A license anyways).
All custom painted, Giant G1200 Articulating Loader, Branch Manager Powered rotating Grapple with DP capstan...
ha ha used a lot of rakes like that
forgive me I is old
I always called my prentice and Serco loader style clamtrucks, Knuckle boom loaders
Thought booms like EFFER and such were called K booms, which cannot take the sideloading my BM rake would put on it
Those tracks look like they will be a lot easier on the lawn
ARRRgh
let me know how that Berlon grapple holds up looks like a 95% copy of my BM gtrapple
I like the extra reinforcement at the hitch plate
