Hey Warren,How has that machine been working out for you? Would you recommend that brand over a different one? Our framing load has been increasing again in the last two years and I am considering a purchase.
Ya the gradalls are 4x4 but rear steer. I can't stand them. There terrible for getting stuck in deep mud when you try and turn. I like the bulk and the well built construction, but the steering alone would forever keep me from buying on. One mans opinion anyway.JT Wood said:I think that the gradall is 4x4 but it might be rear steer only.
The Gradall's are selectable 2 or 4wd. 2wd has a pretty good top speed for cursing down the road. It was a steep learning curve when I first bought this machine. Was always used to 4wheel steer. Now that I am used to it and have some good hours of seat time I am perfectly happy with it. You are right that they suck in deep mud. Useless honestly. But having 65' of boom flat down infront of me with a jib, I find it rare I need to be in deep mud. Doing a small 1800sqft house right now that I can reach front to back from the driveway, without the jib. A rarity I will add thoughYa the gradalls are 4x4 but rear steer. I can't stand them.
