Some video of the KUBOTA R430 articulated wheel loader. Great machine for almost anything.. landscape, treework, small logging operations. Very powerfull machine. Enclosed cab Heat/a/c ,lights,wipers. comfy cab. The machine is a bit heavy, too pull down the road on a trailer.. But its not bad..
And it makes up for it by what it can do on the job.. Its got a good old' kubota turbo diesel. Hydrostatic/shuttle style trans.. It will travel a top speed of about 13MPH on flat ground. its 4x4 system is fantastic. It will go anywere, i like it much better then tracks. as long as the ground has some sort of hard base underneath..

The skidsteer style mount, w/ hydro' quick connect, means you dont havta leave the cab.. too switch your skidsteer attatchements, unless you have a 3rd function attatchment, like this grapple.. you neef too hook the grapple aux' too the machines aux.

The VALBY SSGR 50 SKIDSTEER GRAPPLE, is great. Has a opening max of 50".. you could pickup a sheet of plywood with its width.. It grabs and holds logs, fantastioc. Does not BLEEDOFF, or loose what you grabbed even with the harshest movements, or bumpy rough terrain.. it grabs even the smallest of misc limbs,brush,logs..
I like the strength of the unit. I have grab'd and skidded some heavy large logs, even whole trees with it.. as well as even grabbed and picked up oddball shaped stumps, rocks etc. and the valby never dissapoints..
