    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

    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!

    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

    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

    👍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.

    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

    Most accurate statement about these machines, definitely negative equity machines!! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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
