The Classic Machinery Network

Hi everyone!

I just found you guys while I was checking out where traffic was coming to my site from in my stats and there you were, thanks! I went straight over to the links page in my forums, added this site and then popped over to say hi.

Hello and Welcome.

I too live in BC. South East Corner.

Welcome to CMN Brian Glad you found us

I see you use the Kaiser Spyder Hoe, perhaps you could tell more about these interesting machines ?


Martyn

Hi Brian,

I have read your posts with great interest over at HEF and I must say its great to see that you have joined us here at CMN.

I look forward to your input here and it will be great to hear more about your spyderhoe!

Nick

Hi

this may be a daft but canot say I come across a "Spyderhoe" , is it a type of mini digger like a smally or powerfab ?

We sometimes refer to the Ultra compact tracked mini cranes as a spider crane due to how the legs look when extended out. (these are the ones that will pass through a doorway and lift about a ton, bigger versions go up to about 5 ton (great for inside buildings, or on the roof).

Thanks in anticipation
Dave

Dave,

The Syderhoe is very similar to the Menzi Muck machine that I wrote about on my blog recently.

Thanks Nick

Tere was an article on the Menzi or similar in Earthmovers mag a bit back IIRC. So its abit biger than a Smalley or the Powerfac type m/c then.

Sort of specialist machine that for certain jobs is brilliant but most people dont know about and QS will not pay for as they only see the bill not the time and safety element.

Thanks

Hey thanks for the welcome guys, glad I found you! I see a lot of familiar names from over at HEF, right on.

Ross I will likely be passing through your neighborhood in the near future. I make at least a couple trips a year out to Alberta, love that drive.

I'm going to go start a new thread and post some pictures of my machine
