Not as quick but more power/breakout? Or just not a quick with similar power?

 

I steered clear of the E27z as the E27 wasn't much more tail overhang but had plenty more HP.

 

Hows the little 1.7t machine going?

Loads of power, not as quick on the controls but I'll be honest ive slowed down a lot and getting more done.

  The thumb is amazing!  I'll hardly use the grab now unless It's branches for chipping.

 

I only had the 1.7t for 2 months, then swapped it fir tracked dumper as contracts changed and it was more suited at the time

I’ve always found old Mercedes reliable with little cost what went wrong with mogs

Nothing went wrong, it's just 35 years old and gets worked hard. 

Theres no denying that parts are expensive for them. As I said, it keeps going. Just time for some refurbishment if I want it to continue earning me money and hold its value

Using what we already had to make the e85 even more versatile loading chip in the yard, really quick and hardly any mess

Starting to get what the Doosan can and can't do. Just wish it would fit in the average back garden

Interesting that you went for the log grab rather than grapple yet axially rated rotator. I'd have thought that will limit your grubbing out with it.

 

It's amazing what you can grab backwards like that, especially downhill! This lot was whole ash trees, dragged down to the fire area for processing. Then I went and felled/fetched another tree or two before dragging that down, loading the fire and stacking the timber. Amazingly efficient, two men and a machine. Although this was an ADB scenario, it would have almost paid it's way in timber alone.
