whats the best tree rig set up on a mog??
« on: November 06, 2013, 12:32:54 pm »
ok so i've had time to try to work out what the best setup on an arb mog is, but i cant stick to one plan  :-\

on a big tree job my rig is good as i can tow a mittal muller trailer off the chipper (well when i sort the air brakes for a trailer  ::)) which gives me an awesome amount of chip moving. 2 problems with it
                                          1. Shes back heavy with chip in the mog and chipper on the linkage
                                          2. cant really fit a crane anywhere without loosing the chip box on the mog or mount the crane on the trailer

or would it be better to have front mounted chipper, crane on the back and able to tow a trailer?

what do others use/ seen and think??

Not the best picture in the world, and I'm not sure if I can upload it. I can't find the really clear pic but this is the same truck/owner...

Yeah that's the kind of second option. Slight problem if u need to chip into the trailer as it really needs a blower on the chipper. I'll try get a pick up of a mog I used to drive but not sure if my phone could handle it  :D Unless Brian beats me to it (yes the blue mog bri :) )

Why? Just take the trailer off and drive up next to it? Spin the chute round and fill the trailer, hitch it up again and away to go. It's not like a trailer takes much getting on and off?

It's a smaller compromise to do it that way than it is to restrict the back end of the truck with a tool that takes time to set up and remove.

If the front chipper was a turntable it would work ok. most are fixed facing forwards so there won't be a lot of space between Chipper and trailer to get the chip into the back of the trailer (plus you loose a lot of chip between the chipper spout and trailer)

Drive up along side it with the trailer on the outlet side of the chipper. I suppose sometimes things may be a bit tight for that but on a site that can hold enough trees to fill the chip box and more there should be room?

I have seen front mounted hiabs, but they look expensive and they're always on the bigger mogs. How often do you think you would use one? Is your work large commercial or little domestic stuff usually? I think you can get linkage mounted cranes, but just by design I don't suppose they'll lift much at full extension?

I'm mostly on domestic stuff so space is usually a bit tight. I can't get the pic up of the blue mog as it was a nice rig but dam heavy. It needed hiab on the back to balance the front Chipper lol. Front hiab would be interesting! I've only seen one pic with it mounted on the front

I'd heard something about the 4 wheel steer but thought they were taking the p***! I wondered if you'd recognise it - I didn't know the guy's name but he's from up your way somewhere.

I actually found it on google, but once I'd followed the link to the site I realised that's where I would have seen it to know what I was looking for.

That fella is one lucky bloke. His rig is just about perfection I reckon.
