Not sure about what is available in Italy. I bet there are some real nice knuckle booms available over there, that we cant get a hold of state side.

We use all Prentice loaders at our company.

This is the cats meow for tree work. No turf damage with this loader. The original lightweight articulating mini loader made in Finland. Sold in the US as a Gehl Advantage it is No longer available in the states

Then the Italians copied it and came out with the Multi one, multi trak (in the US) now it is the only light weight articulating sit down machine in the US and is private labeled as a Boxer. I am not sure what its name is in Italy or where in Italy it is made.

Tank you for informations TNTTREE,I asked estimates to DITCH WITCH,TORO and VERMEER,I would ask also to BOXER but it's impossible to E-MAIL them for not americans,it's a pity because boxer seem a good equipment!
To move logs and bushes i think to something like demonstrated in BRANCHMANAGERATTACH.
