Would be on test, then sent me an email saying they will hopefully have something available forJune for the Arb show in Cirencester.

 

 

Who is your local dealer?

Yea that kept the farmers happy for a while, I've got plenty of free tip sites now:biggrin:

 

 

weighs over 2 ton though

 

To give you an idea of scale, the guy feeding that is 7ft tall including boots and helmet. Don't forget the hopper is wider and taller than other similar machines. When it looks full there is quite a bit of bush being dragged in.

 

If you want to brash down pencil sticks like i see most people doing choose something else. If you want to put as much ugly bent hawthorn/blackthorn and avoid brashing out as much as possible the Bandit is great. In that video the knives had 20+ hours on them. It is a 45hp kubota engine so is directly comparable to the Forst TR8 I think.

 

Deadwood is much less of an issue. I had a 65 which is the problem machine. Although that was made better with some mods. This still jams occasionally on deadwood. But nothing that would effect my decision to purchase.
