That looks so much better than the one I used to drive, reverse drive will make a big difference to comfort and that longer reach crane should make it a lot more productive, how's it for stability?

Has the new 1 done away with the centrifuge clutch which is something that gave us a lot of bother...

nice 1, i have only ever heard bad stories about the older models, keep us posted and best of luck.

Looks smart how many days did it take you to extract that amount of timber??

[areleywood]

All good i drove the old one for five years with no dramas but this one is a proper contractors machine , defo more stable but the whole machine has been redesigned its a beast.

[areleywood]

That job was four and half days cutting and extracting 400 to 500 mtr haul to roadside, 150 cubic mtrs 60% ash and other hardwoods if you need some timber the owner is sellling it .
