I have to do some work on the river side of my retaining wall near the river on my property. I was going to fly my excavator down there, but at 6600 lb it's a big lift for my crane at that distance so I decided to fly the Kubota down there instead.

My Crane:


Getting set up. I had the FEL removed in this shot. I ended up putting it back on when I couldn't find any good points to sling the front end.

Cool, but it doesn't look like much room to maneuver down there.
You have two cranes? (1 silver & 1 white?)

Neat idea, and yep that one picture did look like a tight fit. Did notice the crane was orange also [emoji16]
I actually use Kubota orange whenever I touch up the crane paint. It's almost an exact match to the original paint. The boom tip has been completely repainted in Kubota orange.
