[QUOTE="CORK, post: 6768001, member: 2193"] Have used a crane with a good number of years. Our land is scattered and we only have one tractor so I find it invaluable. You’d definitely need a 4wd tractor and I’d imagine 100hp. Cashel engineering do a relatively light weight crane over here (southern Ireland) as do Rossmore engineering. For spreaders of 2tn capacity plus I’d go for a heavier crane like the Kuhn mentioned above or a Bogballe crane (which we now use). Very impressed with the Bogballe crane. It can handle at least a 2.5tn spreader and has a lift capacity of 1.3tn, it allows me to lift 2x500kg bags at a time which speeds up the job. Cranes do push the weight back a bit though as others have mentioned. [/QUOTE]
