    I would guess 20/20/52/20 ? But in Kg that’s way over my head……I think that’s a western Canadian deal……

    For weight of this crane we get 80% stronger cranes....with wider stabilisers, 20% longer reach...with powerlink (means constant power in all crane possitions).

    Both crane types are used in Chile for example.
    Claims from that market is that largest american cranes like serco 1050xr arr in range of mid size euro cranes like epsilon q150L

    Cleaned out and organized the bike trailer. Going riding at local moto track in 2 weeks…..They are having a fund raiser for racers that have been hurt. Open practice all day, lunch etc……..50+ year old riders only …..

    Haven’t ridden in 6 years. Bike has been prepared by local 1st class moto wrench. It’s a 2018 but has only 5 minutes run time on it . I didn’t have it in me to work on the bike…….
    #1 goal is not getting hurt………..

    Best of what scania ever made...
    Up to 10years before their quality was terrible in most segments. In 1980 it started to improve. In 80s their quality went really high, in this era every component was fine tuned to highest level ever, after that started to drop due cost savings

    They raised their prices significantly last year.
    I am not that much into machines. But will need excavator and wheelloader.
    I think i will get komatsu. They are most common here and models are good priced and well made
