I'm looking at buying a 17.5-20m tracked machine at the moment. Hinowa are good but a good bit more expensive than CTE. Already have a 23m CTE truck mount and find them good.

Just about to get a demo of an 18m Easy lift 18m. Anyone had any experience of Easy Lift?

• See Pics, its all cut into 3m lengths, mixed diameters. Located near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. Looking for £30 a ton collected, or I can deliver (delivery obviously extra) in Suffolk or within 40 miles of Bury St Edmunds.

I have this which is surplus to requirements. It's pretty much unused as was bought as a spare while the original one was being repaired. Just checked and these are £745 to replace. £350 plus postage.

New unused 1100 series Greenteeth. These are the genuine ones from the US. Cheapest I can find the Chinese copies for are £7.45 

How about £160 the lot, there's 28 so less than £6 a tooth. Prefer collection but I can package up, postage will be extra. 

Just renewed my grinder again and this has led me to clear out the cupboard where I keep all the spares and bits. So turns out I've got quite a few bits I wont be using again....

First up Finger teeth... I've got 82 new unused finger teeth - 73 straight - 1 left and 8 right. Cheapest I can find these for is £2.35 a tooth. Will take £140 for the lot. Also I have 11 new pockets and 13 used (but in v good order only 10/15% worn) plus 13 of the pocket bolts. I'd like £120 for these. I also have approx 100 used but sharpened finger teeth all with a good amount of use left in them. And a big box of ones that need sharpening but with wise left in them. Plus a diamond grinding wheel that fits an 8" bench grinder so you can sharpen you own. These for sale as well pm me to discuss. Ideally like to sell the lot in one go, there are enough teeth and pockets here to keep somebody going for a long time....

Collection preferred but I can parcel up and courier, obviously this will be extra at whatever it costs.... 

As per the title. In need of 1 or 2 artic loads of first thinnings. Hardwood or softwood is fine but maximum diameter needs to be 6"

I know, it’s what I’ve been requested to get for a customer, but it won’t matter if it’s all 6” either, 2” they can use.... If anyone has a thinning job it may well suit and happy to take 30/40t of it.

Were they the metal ones? If so probably nicked for scrap

Nope nice new roll up ones. Ok in the grand scheme of things it’s not a lot of money...£140ish but it’s just such a shitty thing to do.

Working at Gt Finborough near Stowmarket on Monday this week. Signs out on the road, as we had a small amount of work to do out front near the main road. Come to collect signs at the end of the day and someone has pinched them. Sadly I can only presume another tree surgeon as who else wants Tree Cutting signs?  Shame to think that there is some lowlife thieving scum bag in our industry that's local......These were pretty much new 750mm high ones so not cheap. If anyone can shed any light on this you'll be rewarded. And if the thieving lowlife w*****r happens to read this you should be ashamed of yourself, what goes round comes round.....Lets hope for your sake you stay hidden in the gutter you crawled out of.....
