Giant mini articulating loader branch manager edition $35,000

Sfoppema · Oct 9, 2021

Bought this Giant to complement my DW 1050, but just haven't been using it. Don't need two loaders, and am thinking if I am going to have two, I'd rather have something that lifts more than my 1050 can. Either a 1550 or potentially going mini ex. Open to trades for mini excavator. It's a 2017 with 8xx hours. Comes with BMG grapple pictured. Works as it should. Pin height is very impressive. $35,000

I’ve seen these being listed as having a tipping capacity of close to 1900~lbs.
this number seems like it’s more than what a 1050 is rated for. What has been your experience @Sfoppema ? Is there a weight kit that goes with these? Are parts for these generic or is there a a lot of proprietary stuff like with Ditch Witch. I’ve got an sk850 that I love but, the one drawback imo is that parts tend to be very expensive.

It can't lift as much as the 1050. Pretty close. I've put them side by side and tested it with different size logs. Parts seem pretty easy just call branch manager and they drop ship from giant. Kubota stuff easy to get. you can get a weight kit for it I have not gotten around to it. It's an impressive machine just not what I need for my operation presently

Where in MA are you located? I’m in NH and would like to take a look at your machine. I can’t figure out if there’s a way to PM on this site. Apparently I’m tech challenged.
