2 hard winters in canopy machines makes to an upgrade  of a warm heater and radio musch 😁

Well I have to agree. I had a cabless kubota tractor and got fed up with getting cold, wet or too hot. So after 12 years got a cabbed one. Old one never missed a beat and still had original battery

Few little upgrades for the E85, some beautifully designed guarding fitted to help keep the glass in 1 piece and radiator hole free and then we have gone and blown a whole wodge of cash on a GMT 35 with total tree control for it to speed up and make safer felling a lot of skinny tall roadside ash we are dealing with at the moment.

Is that guarding from Hywel Evans? Looks ace!

No, unfortunately he just didn't seem to have time to do one as concentrating on the smaller machines.
Had Mark Jibson Engineering make it for me in the end with a few tweaks to make it fit and follow the cab lines a bit tighter.

Is a 1.8t big enough to run a grab and rotator? 

 

Currently run a 1.5t which only weighs 1350kg! With a fixed grab and think it's awesome! 

 

Running this track base size I can take digger and grinder to a job at same time etc..... 

 

Just wondering if the 1.8t is a upgrade and fit for the grab and rotator or they're just to heavy for the machine..... Two speed tracking be nice also!!!!

 

So it's either newer 1.8t and move the little Volvo on or keep the Volvo and buy a bigger 2.5t-3 t machine..... 

 

Don't have loads of space or brass either

2.8t will be way better and far more planted. 1.8t will do it but got to be realistic in your expectations- you loose stacking height by adding the rotator. And you’ll be working at far reach most of the time to avoided twating the boom when rotating. Personally I’d forget the rotator on the 1.8t and leave that until you get 2.5t plus size. 1.8t is still a very useful tool with a fixed grab to be fair.
