these machines look like they could come in handy in some really awkward places like a side slope
BrianHay would be best able to comment on these tight machines... www.spyderhoesolutions.ca I believe is his website, he owns a "sypderhoe" here on Vancouver Island. I have yet to check it out, but I'll be making a trip up to his home base to take a look, seems like an extremely versatile machine to get the job done in those tight spaces.
They are an incredible machine, heres a link There are several others as two Brian's on here now, run these machines. Search Brian Hay, and also AllMtnConst
Great videos! I gotta take some videos of mine one of these days. Here is a link to Kaiser's website http://www.kaiser.li/en/home/ Thanks for the link guyinthesky! Here is a link to the other Brian's website too http://allmountainconstruction.com/home/Welcome.html There are three of us in here, Foster has a Menzi as well.
Thanks for the link Brian. Sure are incredible machines!
Menzi's I have a Menzi 5000T with 3 wheels but just the rear wheel drives, and am looking for a older 4 wheel (either 2 or 4 wheel drive) Menzi. Can anyone tell when they first started producing 4 wheeled machines. Can the older machines be retrofitted with drive motors on the other non-powered wheels? There is supposedly a used Menzi dealer in Florida. Anybody got contact info? Ren Hanix SB-550 Menzi Muck 5000T Komatsu WA-180 2 Schaeff SCL-515's AC 130
those things are crazy looking... good idea though
Spider diggers :drinkup
The importer for Menzi Is in Florda He is a real nice guy to talk with and is sharp as well heck he rembered selling 2 machines to the city of detroit 20+ years ago. They were sold a few months ago for a little bit of nothing, they only had a hand full of hrs on them also. I would have been after one but it is a 3 wheeled contracption, I do alot of work where I need 4 drive wheels. I will be taking a drive to visit him when I get back "north" I currently have a Schaeff... it is a bit slow and feel that I am hindered by its abilities, ie I need more hp. and faster cycle times. also I am not able to run a mower deck on it. I am looking at a upgrade. It is a nice machine balanced machine and is as nice as any thing built by the current imports and does not have a computer ony where. ....It is a real trip to opperate... It puts the opperator back in the seat.
