Had this machine a few years now and finally getting round to pushing on with it,
U1300L, was a om352 engine but have fitted an om366 engine.
Still not fully decided on its final use.

Both. The old grey cab was absolutely shot so I've had a second hand one and had it sprayed.

It's a bit under specced for anything at the moment really. There is a front PTO and it does have a hydraulic pump which powered the hiab I took off.

I will get round to putting a pickup on the back and maybe 3 point linkage.

He changed the beet harvester and it had Ad blu which then ment having to buy a trailed bowser with both so the moggy got parked up

My dad had the earlier 404's with cranes for forestry. Both rag tops. They were great tools but parts cost a great deal so when one got burnt and the other was too expensive to overhaul it was relaced with a County.
I still love them but have no need for one.

There was a Purpose built Taskers forestry trailer complete with air brakes to tow behind so the best beech could be hauled to Ercol's mill at Latimer.
