They are very similar to the North (now honeywell); bit thicker, bit less close fitting so a wee bit less dextrous...

Cromwell used to do them; or online. Bit cheaper; £2.20 pair plus vat.

I heard Glendale bought 20 x Echo CS-620 recently.... now that's a shift.

Looked well tidy? Pm who you think is selling...

There might be a red/blue 860 for sale south / east - will ask the question... Phil Cooper might have something too

North Oil Grip. You'll try all the others and settle on these. I'll give you a pack of 12 pairs if you think otherwise.

When's it on please? Thx

bit vague? Purpose built / agric base? Size ???

Sorry, non-stop funerals at the moment, a bit out of it at the moment.

Nice avatar! :thumbup:

What's the cause? Loadsa blown fences or lack of raw material?

Off me or shavey; mine are US, shaveys are German imports. Mine aren't CE marked. Not long til we won't have to import them I believe...

You won't call it that when you've grown fond of it!!! It's a dolly whatever the colour remember!

BULLSHIT! Well that's your credibility out the window. What a load of utter rubbish you spout. That's the worst post I've read on here, EVER!

:thumbup::thumbup::lol:

Stupid cheap. Buy the lot but pity the seller.

Classic old video; some lovely 6 cylinder sounds too old black cab 860 yum yum

You're not wrong there mate; I have no inkling how many are left in the UK??? Never entered my head to load sideways; going to have to try that but pins are 2.5 apart widthways...

All the non-PR-infected larch we cut gets snapped up by log merchants pronto!

+1. Strong dislike of solid noses.

Funny you should say this now. I am seriously glad I bought my Bruunett when I did as there are a few people after them down here; even a very major contractor wants one to add to his fleet; offered me 3 times what I paid for it! The Valmet 820 is exactly the same size and has a much faster loader than the 578 altho the even rarer 678 loader is quite quick; try finding an 820! B's have their limitations; slow crane and poor reach with the standard Cranab 4115 (but strong), levers physically limit the crane function speed, don't lock up in the middle, leak oil from the roof (as mentioned!) and do not relish overloading so don't think about extender pins. Difflocks jam on so mine had a lot of disconnected features! Mine is ex FC so very well maintained in other ways. Plus points: International engine (atmo or blown) is a dream; atmo is amazingly frugal on juice. Will go where a tractor won't with a very smooth ride. I reckon a tractor and drive trailer would be as good in the mud (but never over stumps - the bogies deal with them 'ansome) but you have to think about legs all the time. For short routes the purpose built is so much more productive, altho the bunk length is officially 2 x 2m; 2.2s are ok but 2.3s are hard work to load. Now mine has had a few minor issues ironed out it just works and works and in respect of the capital outlay is a money making machine. It is now boringly reliable. I need to sort out my difflocks tho as it's prone to slipping as my tyres are getting a bit low! Here's a pic of a processor one!

Losing sleep over finanace payments is no fun! If you've got the work, great, but otherwise you're heading for misery...
