I heard that Liebherr is the single highest quality crane you can buy, are you guys feeling that with The Beast?

(me chanting) TEREX...TEREX...TEREX!!!

Btw, I've been enjoying your photos on facebook Dave, keep um coming.

 

[MarquisTree]

Thanks Cameron, as far as the quality goes we have no complaints so far. Its only been 200 hrs and its the first AT we have owned so we really don't have anything to compare it too

 

[Cameron]

Same here, I'm just going by what the sales guy told me, lol. Of course he's gonna say they sell the best brand.

I have a bunch more on our facebook page, much easier to post pics there and I don't have to compress them first.

The crane is an amazing tool...but it is very expensive to run. Just ordered a set of filters, 10 gals of Hyd oil (special syn 37 weight made by liebherr only) and 12 tubes of grease.. $4000
We knew what we were getting ourselves into when we made this move but its still has a bit of a shock factor to it when you place a routine service order and get that kind of price tag.

that cranes is sick !

 

[PassionForTrees]

Did you NAME er yet? like Garganchua or something like TINY! LOL Be careful all the time!

 

[Mark Chisholm]

The offset jib is crazy. Is there a limit to the boom angle you can go to with that on?it must really add to the deflection a bunch.

 

[MarquisTree]

Mark,
With the jibs on you can't flat stick it. The way we had it setup we could boom down to between 20-30 degrees .

The deflection is pretty wild with both jibs on.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

20-30 is pretty crazy though...really! That is amazing and makes it even more usable in the real world.

 

[MikePoor]

CONGRATS DAVE! I know you've been wanting to do something like that for a while!

 

[MarquisTree]

Nice to be able to reach the last log without moving

 

[brendonv]

156ft radius
10.4 deree boom angle
164ft of main out
35.8ft of air below boom tip
0.1 degrees off level in y axis
0.5 degrees off level in x axis
light on outrigger #1 (opposite boom direction)
heavy on outrigger #2 (in boom direction)
