[Rwhiteheadfirewood]

We have a OMF 

 

Good for thorny crap covered in bramble you would't want to do with a saw

 

not as fast a college leaver full of red bull with a sharp topper

It's a bit animalistic, but most of the stuff in those photos I'd expect to just snap off and lay down with my grab and rotator. But then I'm usually not being paid to leave a tidy finish, just to get rid of it.

Nice work and what these shears are all about. Currently looking at a load of gorse clearance contracts for later in the year and was thinking its tree shear territory if they will allow tracks on the Heather.

I don’t recall it being anywhere near that sort of dollar...  Have you tried EXAC1 for current prices??

 

Appreciate what you say about feeling you want the work confirmed before committing. 
 

I have tended to ‘do’ a couple of jobs with the tools currently at hand but not necessarily the ideal set up, then think, I’m not struggling like that again and invest in the better kit ready for next time. 
 

It’s always there when you need it and you’ll (hopefully) find that previously ‘unattractive’ jobs suddenly start to take on a new appeal.

Can you get ones for the 1.5t digger range? Possible something 4-6"

That was the price I was quoted yesterday by them, they are only 15 mins away from me. 

Yea I know what you mean. 

As I say got one job that would be handy on. 

I already got 6 Buckets, a flail head and grab and rotator.

Yikes!

[Rwhiteheadfirewood]

That's what I thought when I saw yours.

I’m sure my OMf was only about 2k 

it’s a TMk copy 

 

I bought mine as I had a big thorn toppy job which wanted a load of thorn hedge topped to 2m and it couldn’t be flailed or disc’s 

worked a treat

You animal, I put the two over three grab on for that, rather tuna fook my usual grab

some if the stuff was quite chunky and it went through a chipper, 

to close to road to mulch
