power box

Tomjim

Anyone know the price of a new power box. Got quoted 500 stg for a home made one in Antrim - it was on donedeal. While another quote for 775 euro (name escapes me but the company makes gates crushes etc)

Anyone any other prices

That was a good price for a new 6ft one. Most are around the €700 mark. Where did you get it?

Im interested in this Lindin box too. Do they make a 5ft power box for the likes of a 165/185?

I got a quote of 1000 euro off Atkins Cork for a 6 ft Gibney ,800 from Hurleys Bandon for a Fleming 6 ft and 850 off a local small garage for a Malone 6 ft.Atkins are to get back to me when i told them about the other prices. I saw the Gibney and its a fine job . Does anybody know if its 200 euro better than the Fleming as Hurleys have none til next week.

did Atkins ever in their lives sell anything that was reasonably priced?

GERMAN ROCKS

we have a gibney that we bought maybe 5 years ago. seems very strong.

i've the idea that malone is the strongest but i dont know why:o

We have a fleming bought in 1995. Its a heavy duty and is at least 30% heavier than a modern day heavy duty fleming. Cost £540 at the time. Its on one tractor 350 days a year, has got a lot of abuse too. Ram and pipes are original with no faults. Paint is the only thing worn on it.

vanderbadger

also have a fleming 6ft, body is strong, not sure its a great ram, had to have seal done there a few years ago and still the box tilts back by itself over night. friend has a malone, would think its a bit heavier maybe

Would they be better than the Nugent powerbox?

We're looking at buying a new powerbox, 5-6FT range.

Nugent 5FT-€735
Malone 6FT-€785

Malone seems the best value, but heard good views on the nugent boxes.. Opinions? :P

Farmer Pudsey

I rate the malone as better than a nugent box and I'd spend the extra 50 for a six foot no matter what type of power box you buy make sure it is wider than your back wheels

Barrett12

Which would the best box to get fleming, Malone or nugent

Farmer Pudsey

Personally I think Malone

What would you pay for a six foot one

lakill Farm

i bought a 6ft 6 fleming 2 years ago for 650e cash

Muckit

I see no one mentioned Major. Had the loan of the neighbour's one.
I thought it was built like a brick sh*t house

Muckit

Farmer Pudsey

There is a firm in NI that do them as well I think they are fairly reasonable I do not know what they are like.

Is major mcm ? The are advertised on donedeal as been stronger. Does anyone have any experience or details of their power box?

restive

I got quoted €875 for a 7 foot MCM power box. I will see it tomorrow.

DaNiEl1994

we got a fleming 6ft power box about 3-4 years ago cant fault it great yoke and can be worked off small tractor aswell

convoy

I have a Malone box for 5-6 yrs,built to last, no problems with rams or pipes, uncle has a Fleming,they are a lot lighter and pipes corrode after few yrs, so I can only reccomend the Malone one, major make great stuff too.

What are they used for? Is it instead of a loader bucket?

Muckit

I wouldn't have work for one over an ordinary link box/transport box.

I borrowed the neighbour's one for a day last summer to draw chips from where lorry dumped inside field gate and fill into shores. Great job for that in fairness.

I suppose lads use them for cleaning out bedded sheds is it? I don't know.

restive

I will be using it mainly to clean muck out of a shed and spread it on land.
Also I will b using it to help spread gravel in my driveway and bring clay into my garden to raise it.

Just about everything picking stones they will take 2-3 time a transport box as well as being better to lift a rock out of the ground, cleaning sheds, yards, slabs. There are loads of jobs you would not do with a loader bucket that you could chance with a power box. They have there uses especially if your tractor is less than 80HP.

Cheers, I see loads of them when I go west and north of here. I don't know of one around here they sound really handy and not too pricy for what they can do. Sounds to me like a well kept secret or perhaps I need to get out more. Would be really useful in the garden where loader would be too heavy. You may have planted a seed!!:cool::cool::cool:
