Of all machines, even super big chippers which I adore, I think this has made me as green as the machine itself with envy!!! It would however be too big for me but still, it's just fabulous! Who started this thread?!!!

 

How did it handle laurel brash mate? Doing the same with normal forwarder at the moment, making a heap the size of St Pauls!

Will be looking for a machine like this in the few years. Have several boggy sites coming up. Sites near Hungerford and Henley-on-thames.

 

Anybody know when further south?

it handles everything with ease, the body isnt ideal tbh for what i am doing with the laural but until i get the fabricator to it, it will do.

But the more i use it the better it becomes, like most machines its down to the operator.

The fact i can self load and not tie up another machine is great, its just the same as the valmet and crane but ground conditions do not allow it to work safely and efficiently.

It has a turbo charged 6 cylinder diesel engine, it still only 7'5" wide and can carry 4.5 ton:001_cool:

Didn't know it was a 6-pot but from memory it has a thumping great 7.7 litre engine
