  1. I cant belive it!!! Is it already sold?!? I would have payed double that, picked it up and hauled it back to Sweden and sold it here and still made a profit. Who was the buyer, can anyone help me to get in contact with him?
  2. Is that brand new or the later transmoddled one? Well impressed by your way of keeping things! Ex marine or something? Shiny and all...
  3. Is this at all related to Annas´gem?
  4. Ours broke one day so we had to hire one for a day. It was the smaller one... Get the big one with the proper "crane arm", enables you to do a lot more with it! The small one was pretty useless compared to the bigger one. More power, faster and overall a better buy.
  5. I´ve used one alot. Id say im a master of that machine! Very narrow (gates never been a problem...) climbs steps! Up or down...no problems. Winch capable of pulling/lifting 1000-1500kg, logs can be stacked on the flatbed and extracted with no marks left on lawn (have to be carefull as it is skidsteer) Extracting brash from below steep slopes is easy, just let the wire run as the machine goes up the slope, with you riding it, then just pull the brash up and off you go! Pros -light, versatile. Cons expensive and not very fast. Id buy one again...if I couldnt afford a Avant with a grapple....
  6. YouTube - Swiss Spaghetti Harvest 1957 Considered to be the first on the Telly....
  7. Good point! Is that some kind of electric fence in the foreground? If so, good measures! Will keep most oportunists away!
  8. I knew that! I just got back from my neighbour down the road...He said it was sold 2 years ago (unfortunatley) but offered me a new orange original shaft extensioner for the lower wingmoddler and a preused suspension holder. He claimed that it was from the 98/99 model:scared1: Luckily i turned his offer down as I was pretty sure they only made them in electric blue that particular year! Any ideas what year they made them in orange? Or is it simply a Chinese imposter part? Close call that one...wouldnt wanna end up with that in my garage... Expensive and probably unfixable!
  9. I dont want to be rude, BUT its quite obvious from the picture which one it is.
  10. Thanks Andy for the info. I newer realized that they were british. I remember seeing them when I was a kid. Are they really that rare? I seem to recall a guy down the road that had one only a few years ago. Cant remember wether windows were opague or double reflective or just the more common, as seen on later models, yellowish-brown. I might have to pop down for a chat and see whatever happened to his.
  11. Way too much work for me then. I was hoping for a cheap option, but i realise that there no such thing as a wonder luck solution. I´ll just have to make do with my current set up, but thank you Anna for letting me know it was for sale! Good luck with flogging that. Might turn out as a million dollar baby find. Is it on your land? Otherwise you better claim title to the land or at least squatters rigt b4 the legal owner finds out that he/you are sitting on a goldmine!!! If in any doubts how to do this Dean has some knowledge on the subject.
  12. But if I could get hold of a 69 twincam shaft with nylon bushings and a cranked mirror splitter. Wouldn't it work then?
  13. Is that any different from the Honda fourstroke? I admit i'm not very good with motors. If not is there some kind of conversion pack available? Happy to get some help on this one. Will you take bids or is it a one off offer with a set price tag?
  14. Darn....I was free for thursday! Wouldnt mind giving a hand...
  15. They are common around here....known to kill goats and sheep and other animals. Deer is their staple diet. Good hunters, and a bit of lust murderers. Friends lost all their goats to one of them, within a couple of days.
  16. Hardwoods bear seed-containing fruit and come from the botanical group called Angiosperms. Pines and so on are from the group Gymnosperms.
  17. Ok must have missed it then... I still think this is the best Vid there is... It´s all in there! It still amazes me the guts the toppers had. How da heck did the guy manage to get that top to go the right way with that Beaver technique? Fully automized saws....speedlines.....no atv:s but hey! Lets build a railroad!! I wonder if my next customer will have any objections to that?!?
  18. Its not Oregon Tea Break but a few other bits... Topping, Speedlining, Chogging and so on...Enjoy! I don´t think its been posted b4. [ame] [/ame]
  19. You had me in stitches!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!
  20. I´ll have one then... if you stand by your words...
