Are you seriously parting with it? How did I miss that?

[Stephen Blair]

It's sold , it was on arbtrader for 3 months John.

Going to miss her big time.

But hey ho, I have some toy tokens instead

Välkommen till Timbear!

 

Incredible kit - but 280,000 Euros for a basic one!

Just an update on how the 'Ultimate forwarder' is getting on in it's new Staffordshire Moorlands home.

 

It was great to go up with Greg when he made the purchase and meet Stephen who really is a top bloke!

 

Greg has made quite a few bits of mods before putting it to work, including some belly plates and a grab bar that allows the crane to stow nicely forward.

 

We have just been doing some moorland access improvements and ditching where it's really been a useful bit of kit, but it's into the woods in earnest on tuesday, so we'll see how it performs with some forwarding.

 

It should be a brilliant match to my excavators on projects.

 

I ordered a 20 tonner this week and had a little shock when this thing landed, a bit posh for raking up brash!

Cool, you've gone for the hybrid; I hear its fantastic on fuel but the engine auto revs to the load which takes some getting used to...

A pretty accurate summary really from a brief operating experience, the simple fact we associate engine revs/noise with speed/power makes everything so alien.

 

I didn't have more than a few minutes on it, but Andy who operated it took a few days to fully accept it.

 

Unfortunately it didn't arrive full and I wasn't on site to get accurate fuel consumption, but it seemed very frugal.

 

The client loved it and I'll ask for another next time to see what the real world savings are.
