That's the new price! Blinkin hell, the new kesla16/18 was only 45k! We were quoted circa £30k for a new keto 51 or £15k for a recon 51.

 

I was meaning a 100 that's done a fair bit of work but is tight and still half blue! Needs computer and measuring module tho...

I took a guess based on the quote of 20k for a good recon keto 51. Although with a computer and measuring module its going to be a lot cheaper.

 

Need a big base unit for it though.

Quite a big head fitted to it

[Brushcutter]

Oh man Elf! You went and done it!

 

Is the front end 578 or 678? I'm guessing 6..?

 

I saw a gorgeous Valmet 820 yesterday - I WANT!

 

I've been offered an ok condition keto 100 head which would suit a track base; what do you reckon it's worth tho?

 

Wilsons have a Keto 100 in at the moment 20K+vat.

desperate for another set of band tracks now 6.00 size, called everywhere, budget of £1300 but do they really exist second hand??

[County 764]

there was a guy selling up his equipment in the forestry journal a few months back, he sent me photos of what he had and there were a few sets of band tracks, don't know what he was looking for them but will try and dig out his number.

[fergusonforestry]

Took delivery of this today....it has a few leaks etc but all expected for sub 10K!!

 

 

 

 

drove that at college might be worthwhile askin them if they have any bandtracks kicking around

[Logrover]

That looks good in that pic!!! :thumbup1:got a few more battle scars now, well i have called the college, called wilsons, called every forwarder dealer who have given me several people numbers who i called......... then i resorted to calling random forestry contracters in scotland and wales. So far all i ve had is possibles and lots of sucking air through teeth.....oooh youl struggle to find a second hand set of those

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Clarkes do those half track half chain things - might they fit?
