    Grim grim grim.

    Well the price tag is what caught my attention initially! Actually yes, if business was booming. I was offered similar money for mine and should have snapped their hand off! Where else can you get a machine that size that will wiggle into tight spots, leave little mess and do a decent days work reliably? I will never part with my 578 simply because it's so good at the very niche it was made for and is doing again. I've been on the hunt for an 810d for ages but anything even slightly bigger than that isn't for me. The 578 has a slow crane and a slow transmission but it doesn't stop. I long for a faster machine but when it breaks down my daily wood output won't be any more will it? That one has extension crane which makes it miles better than the 4115 I've got; the 4115 is strong but just too short...

    Quite. I just need to sit it out til the harvester's paid off; that will be a great day! Big Party! Meanwhile my mate near here selling his; no work, poor rates, really sorry for the guy.

    Nice, best 578 I've seen.

    The OP said small and cheap! That's more like it. I like these: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201509197052102?make=mitsubishi&model=outlander&search-target=usedvans&sort=suppliedpriceasc&radius=1501&postcode=pl67sp&page=1&logcode=p But don't tell anybody; they're a bit of a best kept secret.

    I'd imagine 200t/day per contracter, not per whole UK! 200 would be pretty average I'd guess between the 50/day early thinning to 500/day regen harvesting.

    Haha you MUST know! The bloke could sell condoms to catholics

    So, I'm not alone in having stab wounds in the hands then?!

    I can think of an infamous "log merchant" in cornwall who needs to receive one of these letters...
  13. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Worse when you found out who and where it went and ol Bill don't care.
  14. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Maybe it will happen, 2022 or some such time! Wouldn't hesitate but since someone nicked the big Ifor I've worked round it with a tractor pto TP.
  15. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Same mate! You think to yourself, nothing methodical going on in here, a bit like the brain in this in/famous sketch; fast forward to 1:20!!! FTR I'm not a sexist. [ame] [/ame]

    You still got the tracked one Karl? BTW sorry that King BS told me he wanted it last winter and was spouting hot air as usual.
  17. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Perhaps your picking your nose, 'phone manner, and b.o does his head in?! Just kidding but that's life innit. The way my Mrs loads the dishwasher does my head in - tried "fixing" her but fixing others never works. You have to fix yourself first.
  18. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Not yet mate, like sweets in a sweetshop.

  22. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Ta Eddie Yeah I saw those Voilamart ones Jon on ebay; need them up the M62 yesterday lol.
  23. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Up the M62 yesterday mate - who turned the lights out?! Horrible. West is Best! :thumbup:
  24. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Thanks for the hint but looks like I need floods not spots..

    Time to upgrade 14 x Halogen cab lights and 4 x Halogen Crane/Head lights to LED. I rang John Deere who were keen to sell me 18 x unspecified lumens output JD "approved" work lamps @ £235/ea Rang Clarkes who very honourably suggested by the time I'd bought 14 x £135 570 Lumens output lamps, LED technology would have moved on and I'd be out of date in light output! Spoke to Sparex; 1150 lumens @ £18/ea so bang for buck appears to be improving dramatically. Now ebay - thousands of the things for sale; all wonderful prices! Any advice?! Cheers!
