[Hardyspicer]

personally i would go for a machine without any electronics so there easier to fix especially if they are in the middle a wood for example

I am looking for a jcb 527 67 . In your position I would keep the David brown for the pto and get a tele handler. One machine to run kit and load is a pain. You can never have enough forklifts.

 

I am going to keep it, it only cost me £1000 including tipping trailer, had to put a new hydraulic pump on and service it. its paid for its self with the logs its split already just not very versatile, i just think that a telehandler would be tied to the yard and of no use in many other situations! tractor and loader on the other hand...i can borrow a big tipping trailer as and when which would be handy on big jobs with lots of chip/log 1 load instead of 6 van loads!

I have three scruffy bits of kit that can have log grab on one bucket on another forks on the tele all working together makes the job. I found the cost of road insurance for the tele to high. I never got on with tractor and loader too slow and can't see after a tele loaders can be a bit annoying especially with the speed of a large bobcat.

What about a multifarmer? It's low, good reach and has 3 point linkage with pto

We got a matbro 4o4 tele old but it's had an easy life and does us proud.

 

Zetor tractor for running the processor and splitters again old but ideal for what we want

 

A bit like us ts260 matbro with auxiliary feed for log splitter ,comes out of the yard occasionally for big lifts on site jobs,suits us well.

We have an old battered one of these that is redundant should anyone be interested, needs some work but it starts and runs ok.

Log splitter is ruining the little david brown, bores are glazed, it's spewing so much oil out, shame to ruin it.
