my dad bought a coles hydra then replaced it with a hydracon , if you could put the coles chassis under the hydracon it would have made a great crane . the coles was quick on the road , it had an aec engine , but was slow to erect, the hydracon was woeful and slow on the road , but quick on the job as it was all hydraulic, ok on local work where you could get 3 or 4 quick jobs in a day, but painful if you had to do some distance.
