Mates dad has a county, wonder if he'd let me pimp it up forestry style:thumbup: You still got this Chris?

 

You can pimp a County up any way you like it's hard days work using it.

but not as hard as dragging logs out of the woods all day by hand

i would agree with this. My log splittler broke so borrowed a friends mf 35. Took me an hour to drive a journey that usually takes 20 mins.

 

Not much hydraulic power but it does the job, brakes arent too hot either.

 

Have driven a county a timber trailer on the road got it in to second and shat me pants, as there was so much play in the steering, and had to crawl back home in 1st gear!!

Although dragging out buy hand might be slightly easier on the body.

Why do you say that ?

County's can take a bit of handling if you don't know how to manage it at first due to the poor steering lock, but I tell you what after driving a few valmet 8 series my county 754 will climb the side of a house incoparrison with the valmets.

Steering can be a bit of a physical work out. The seat is best a bit of padding on some metal with a back at worst a metal seat with no back. To use the crane the controls of which are normally on the right side means you sit in a awkward way pull some leavers and get rocked around buy the roof mount. The windows are normally gone so you are a mixture of hot cold and deaf. The vibration through the seat isn't that bad but its noticeable.

 

Plus side it will go anywhere and it will always be worth a small fortune even if it looks like it's worked 20 hours a day since it was built.

Oh, just wondered, ive owned 7 down the years and didn't find them that bad tbh.

It is possible to fit new seats. and windows. Turn on the spot on the brakes.

It was quite easy to fit a rotating seat in the flat decks.

To be honest i'm not old enough to be a County man. Valmets and the creature comforts that come with them are my thing.

Just bought a ford 2000 for log splitting and the saw bench

 

And it depends if you want to class a mog as vintage?! Think my old girl is 1973 off the top of my head but she's out with chipper or trailer working for her living
