  1. Nice video 👍 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Not available on mobile devices, Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. They did actually, no embarrassing phones ringing in the middle of the ceremony thankfully, made that 1 as a bit of a joke but went down really well. Lovely mixed woodland to use for it. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Botex strip down, started with a leaky ram then found pin collar was all but cracked off then found a tiny crack in bit it go's onto so whole slew casting is going to have to come off the king post to split them and strengthen it up a bit, the simple jobs never stay that way!

  5. Slightly calmer note made some signs for my friend wedding last week end. And quiet a few Swedish candles for the after party. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Last two weeks felling massive mushy beech trees, worst you could get inside so had to be dropped at 17' but still wasn't nice, bobcat made like a lot easier pulling things apart and stacking up timber to shift with valtra at the end. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. My machine was picked up thismorning to go back in for quite a list of stuff and got dropped off a cover machine that hasn't exactly been looked after by previous user so will see how this go's till I get my machine back. Strange it has cracks and falts in same place as mine..... Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Looks really smart but has it broken down as back of truck is full of brash 😜 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Would be nice but holding off at moment as really would like something with a bit more reach like a botex 360tl but not till late in year. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Valtra has gained a new attachment today curtisy of Dean at global, she's now double ended farmi.after a few minor teething problems it was happily munching dead beech limbs and producing beautiful chip. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. It is if you put any in, water only and a cool setting. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Dish washer clean for me, just lay it out on top shelf and it comes out lovely and shiny, sometimes just needs a little wipe to get the loosened crud off the edges...... just don't let the Mrs find out! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. This 1 should be cheaper to fuel than hungry Mike 😜 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Now that's really good, I'd be happy with that in my house 👍 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. 👍brilliant 👍 Should work in nicely to a job we hopefully have coming up. Will get pictures and share as I think this is a really good machine and a useful tool to have available with a experience operator for those of us who don't need 1 often enough to shell out and get one. Really glad I wone as helps offset the cost of all the crap my Mrs bought at the show 😜 Thank-you Blake and nice to meet you and your Mrs, I'll be in touch soon.

  16. Not good even to replace like for like with a brand new machine. Fantastic productive machine but no residential value which makes it very hard to justify getting a new 1 and seriously thinking if it's lost so much in 2 years what's it going to be worth in 1 more with no warranty, who's going to buy it when I want a new 1.... I lost 4k on my quadchip in 3 years which made it as far as the books went a very good investment, lost a lot more on st8 already. I know someone will say you have to build depreciation into your running costs but there's depreciation and then there's just plain loss. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Most accurate statement about these machines, definitely negative equity machines!! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Comparison of my 2 372xp's for you Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Took my wife over 8 years to get over loosing our last retriever who we joke decided she was the one before I did and walked down the church Isle with her but she eventually allowed another pup into our lives who is very loving if not a little thick so you never know in time you might feel the need for unconditional doggy friendship again. Sorry to hear about millie. The goon Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Nice but for 12" chipping, if your using that capacity for solid timber and not just bushy brash you really need 6 cylinder's and over 130hp to be affective and productive. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Will post you a picture of them on my 375 tomorrow, looks really good with handle done, big dogs and skip chain on a 28" bar.👍 Also for practical reasons it makes a very good chogging saw up a tree. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Just spotted that's my HB20 in background I just sold to John, Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Heading to the show with family today so will call and have a look at your loader and a chat John Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. That's a big ugly lump of timber, found similar years ago on a oak that had been lightening struck, cost a fortune in damaged chains and having to get a bigger loader in to shift the butt as couldn't be cut up anymore, amazing how the trees can do it really. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. I'd say get some training and supervised instructions on saw use if you haven't already and you will quickly learn it's possible to make all sorts of cuts to timber larger than your bar length quite safely. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
