[QUOTE="cowboysupper, post: 7791669, member: 711"] We normally use a telehandler and forks to lift tyre sidewalls over the wall which is grand but the Merlo resides at another yard most of the time and it's a slow round trip to go and get it. We've a Volvo loading shovel in the yard we clamp the silage but it doesn't have the reach to get over the walls which are 4m high with a safety rail on top taking them up towards 5m. The biggest pit is 54m x 19m wide and the Merlo only has the reach to tip the sidewalls over the safety rail. Sidewalls then have to be carried across the pit. Its a good enough set up when there's plenty of labour but can be slow when we're short on helpers...and we were the other night. We generally end up covering the pit at night so anything to speed the job up would be great! The capability of the tyre shooter to fire the tyres up onto the middle of the pit and also fit on the Volvo would be attractive. [/QUOTE]
