Backyard knuckleboom

[CanaryBoss]

Been meaning to get on here and post this new toy, just been busy. It has a 100’ feet of reach and is rated a an 54.5 ton meter knuckleboom. It does have grapplesaws as well. Mecanil. Sg 160 and 280. It is 74” wide and weighs around 40k lbs. length is around 20’. The model is a JF545T. There is an exclusive dealer for it and I will not tell you what I paid for it so please don’t ask.

Congrats! That looks amazing, looking forward to more pics or video if you do anything tricky

Bet there’s folks hard at work trying to shrink them even narrower.

curious about cycle time for making picks, a little lite for a 54.5 kboom if it was a truck. Wondering if its made stable by being really slow kinda like the CMC lifts are compared to the heavier machines.

It’s moves pretty good. I don’t see any real derate in speed.

Just curious why you are so adamant about not talking price. Besides old-fashioned “common courtesy” ideas, of course.

I just don’t see the relevance. Let’s say for example the manufacturer showed me some sort of special circumstance, for whatever reason, it’s not a circumstance you can get. So why would I bother saying what I paid It will just create confusion for everybody involved. Or let’s say I overpaid and the manufacture really just pulled my pants down and I had no idea, then you come along and you got it for $50,000 less. What’s that going to do just piss me off? I know what they list for. That information is not hard to find. I’m not gonna tell you what I paid though.

So if you don’t mind answering what do they retail for not what you paid for it?

Nothing like shiny new stuff. That thing is wicked. The green/black dune buggy you got next to your bobcat is pretty badass too.
