gradall

[telescopicr]

The G3WD made from the mid 80s to 2000 are the best Gradalls ever made, Gradall went downhill when they came out with there new design in the 2000s , they are high maintaince and very poor visibility which is a major safty factor. Id recomend the single axle model as they can do just as much as a tandem and only have one engine to maintain and a lot more compact , overall they are very useful machines Guysrus

The g3wd's are awesome for working in boulavard's and tight areas, great for city work indeed!

but what if you get on the side of the highway? i have enough trouble with the 4100's reach! or what if your one engine has a break down and your in a bad spot and need to move? I supose it comes down to what you are mostly going to do with it.

I find my XL series 1 Gradall to be very good reliable machines. The manufacturer should have kept to the two engine Cummins powered design which saves you on fuel. Like to try a boom extension to extend the reach.

I have owned gradalls since 2000 and love them. I currently own a xl4100 on a truck chassis and a xl4200 on tracks. both with very little trouble. I had a g3wd it was a nice versitale machine but I had a lot of problems and sold it for a g660c and loved it.

Welcome to the Forums cwestfall!

I am a Gradall fan myself but of the blue kind. Some of the best telehandlers made IMO.

hi....both of my gradalls are series 1 machines. One helpful purchase was a technical servece manual for these machines. It explains how many of the systems work and helps me troubleshoot problems.
