Quite small tractor (60-80 hp, 2500 kg) is good when you are working with a crane that is mounted on the trailer. Oil flow is a critical thing. Minimum oil flow needed for our smallest crane model KESLA 211 is 25-40 l/min. Bigger cranes will need more oil flow. For example KESLA 304T works properly with 40-70 l/min or with LS 100-130 l/min. Powerful oil flow is important for good control of the crane. If you mount a KESLA crane on JAKE-frame or 3-point hitch your tractor's weight should be at least 3 500 kg. That is minimum weight for KESLA 200-series cranes and 200-series cranes are possible to mount on the 3-point hitch. With KESLA 300-500 –series cranes tractors weight has to be 4 000 or more. JAKE-frame is the best option for tractor mounted crane. For crane control we have manual, servohydraulic and electrical control systems. With all of those you can operate properly inside the tractors cabin. Servohydraulic and electrical controls are the easiest for the mounting.

Main purpose is to lift logs from narrow places, like transport chains on the saw mills. It can also be used in skidder cranes.

Yes, the connection surface is made compatible with the majority of the rotators.

KESLA 40LF is equipped with mechanical controls. Using requires taking the whole control valve into the tractor cabin and keeping the window open. The 40LFe in the other hand has electric control valve which is integrated in the frame and you need only a light electric joystick inside the tractor cabin.
