Great idea! It’s what we do here apart from it’s my contractor’s mini digger and he drives it, saves having bent gates!
Small pivot steer for cleaning out - buying advice.

Good idea but id say hiring the pivot steer would be as quick. Either way i have to hire a machine.
It’s usually just the joints and pins that fail so there shouldn’t be major issues. As long as it’s been greased regularly they will give you a long trouble free life. Best disclose that I work for a Weidemann dealer but prior to that have used the machines regularly over the past 20 years.

I quite fancy getting one of those, mainly to replace a compact tractor I use for scraping out. Anyone on here with any feedback?

If you go for a cheapo, search youtube for all the cheapo brandnames you can come up with, there is bound to be somebody having done a review on them.
I had a clamber over one when I was in his yard 2-3 years ago.
They did not strike me as well engineered or finished as my Kramer, but I would guess they are well over half the price new for an equivilant european machine....

Going for a look tomorrow. He has one Heracles H180 in stock and a line up of the CRXs. The H180 they have been using themselves around the yard.
Will report back my uneducated, hillbilly beef farmer thoughts

CRX810
Kubota engine, 1t lift, euro headstock, fully enclosed cab, 12mth warranty.
Seems a very capable machine so far, but only had it a day so not properly tested it yet.
Is a very basic spec (particularly in the cab) and not up to the refinery of more expensive machines, but when it's half the price of equivalent machines what do you expect?
No ECUs or other computer wizardry to go wrong on Christmas morning when you've got cows to feed, which I like.
Yes it's made in China, but what isn't nowadays?
£21,950 list price inc bucket and pallet forks.
Did look at the H180 but it was much smaller than I expected, only 3'6 wide! And so didn't look up to lifting round bale silage on rough terrain!
I can't find any info online about this, do they have a UK dealer?

Tbh this size are quite new to him, he's sold bigger ones for a few years, and I don't think he has them listed on his website yet.
Health to wear and tear @Whitepeak - Hope it stands the test of time. Looks very decent.

Perfect, and and about a matched capacity of implement and loader.
Keep the oil changed regularly, and PLENTY of grease in the pins.

Got a bucket grab, bale squeeze and an adapter plate for 3point linkage so we can use the existing yard scraper
How are you getting on with this? Would you use it in a field? Got a quote today
