I've just put two and two together Tom, and worked out it's you! How do mate! 👍🏼

Farkinell!!! I bet that was a bit ‘5p 50p’…! 
Glad all involved are ok, I was anticipating a tree-felling incident gone wrong story, yours is a bit too real-life though!

Was over before I really knew what was going on. One thing I will say it was hell of a ride haha. Was very pee’d off about my yeti mug of 5 years getting flat packed [emoji23]

Oh and one more to make you laugh….

When I crawled out the sunroof….. I thought there was body parts over the road …. Turns out it was a refrigerated meat van [emoji23]

Cheers [emoji1303] Been speaking with Rob he had a 8350 in but I was too slow on making a decision.

It's probably too old for what your after but there's a guarded up Valmet 8000 going up for sale shortly, 1994 model, 10,500 ish hours.  Stickers suggested it had been through wilsons at some point in its life (maybe for the guarding) Ideally wants tyres all round (or tubes as a minimum) and it has a bit ofa voltage drop between the key and the starter (but starts mint when it catches).  Big ol' girl with minimal electrics and sounds awesome.

 

 Also there should be a 2013 Valtra N121, belly guarded (by sovereign) about 3000ish hours. Probably still has the bracket for the forwarder controls in the back of the cab too.  Not a bad cab to spend the days in except the air con stopped working.

 

Both have come straight from work and as far as I know will be in the liquidation auction of where I worked in about a week or so.  

 

No pics on tablet but can probably get some off my phone.

Mark Beach not got anything about mate?

Marks got a 8550 in but a few too many hours for me. He’s looking for a suitable unit hopefully something turns up Mike 🤞🏻

They sound like good machines Chris. Do you know who’s doing the auction?
