hi,

Just read the thread.  I have a 4.4 tonne / metre crane on my 406 on a de-mountable frame. 

Max recommended MB gross weight of the mog is 6 tonne and with the crane on it's 5.3 tonne so not much weight for a chipper.

If your only after a 6" chipper get a tracked one and put it on the trailer or put 3 point link on the chipper and carry it on the mog.  I do this with mine and it works fine, means you can drive to the tree, and save dragging the branches too far, even persuade the owner to keep the chip as well.

Tracked chippers are also good for pulling trees over as it's easy to get in line with the tree when a little assistance is required, ideal for domestic jobs.  Mine also has a towball so it can drag the trailer around.

Crane on the mog is brilliant, very useful on all sorts of jobs, especially removals when the tree is resting on the house!

If you want some pictures have a look at my 'hello thread' to see what it's like.
