How I mounted TNT\'s BMG on my trailer

Yep, TNT's BMG in AUS is OK. /forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I just made a vid of it and how I mounted it.

Tomorrow will be it's first day in the field for a work out unless my first job holds up or it rains (ha!)

about 1.45mins and 8.5mb wmv

Also I attached a large pic 658kb of what we did so if you want to copy or get ideas you can see the detail.

I'm envious. I've got a bobcat 7753 but I can hardly ever get it in the yards I work.

Nice video.

You become an expert in removing fences and gaining neibs access I bet coz whenever I'm bidding I carry a tape measure assessing access.

I explain to the customer that they'll get a better deal if I can get a machine in to load, a machine that saves backs and can lift 250kg+ and grind stumps.

Some-times we remove fences to neibs and load that way, bribe the neibs with beer if neccessary.

I need 1m to get in. But now having a grab that can carry long ways is certainly gonna help.

I just leave my BMG on the machine during transport. After all it IS used on everyjob. Well amost anyway.

Tiny trailer!

[/ QUOTE ]

It's 8'x5' and the sides are around 4'6" high plus it's a tandem (dual wheels). It cubes out to around 4.5m3 which is a fair whack. I'll get some vid today of how I load and unload it with logs.

The most I have loaded in it is 2300kg's, about 5000lbs

The rule here on trailers is wierd. A tandem trailer cannot exceed 2000kg total when loaded, that includes the weight of the trailer. So having a larger trailer cuts down the load capacity as the trailer weighs more.

Yes, that time I was overloaded and if I got busted would have got a big fine ... but seldom do you get weighed by Transport Cops.

I needed the BMG mounted somewhere as the Kanga sits in the trailer and 90% of the time has the stump grinder head attached to it.

Ekka,

How about a pic (vid /forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif) of whats towing the trailer? Maybe some specs...like horsepower numbers...gas/deisel?

Ha

An extra cab Mazda 2.6litre 4 cyclinder petrol, 5 speed manual 4wd.

The Trailer weighs 450kg, the Kanga + stump grinder + BMG = another 1200kg.

So I tow around 1700Kg every day. Plus all my stuff in the ute and that'd have to be 200kg of crap.

That little ute has done 265,ooo kms now, I bought it with 100k on the clock, so it's earned it's keep and it's only a 4 cyclinder 2600cc .... not bad, but fuel is $1.35 litre here.

Just shows how you dont need 7 litre V8's to git her done /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif
