  1. Come on Onefoot!! You can't just put 1 pic up of that set up. I'd Love a tracked skidsteer, more than a digger. Just to play on mind
  2. Get on!!!!!! Grew up with it, it was the only video we had for years!
  3. If you're rushing about, best get a bigger digger
  4. Kibbuto certainly get a good name, what size is that and more pics please:thumbup1:
  5. I'll probably go for a demo grab, do it right. The thumb is good for side ways stuff, but try dragging a pole out if toumhavrmto do it long ways! Grab and rotator is ok, but a lot of movement. All cost depending, but I think if I buy the right machine, get the right stuff on it, then It will make life a lot easier as much as possible.
  6. Now that's a proper setup! Our have everything there. Even chunky tyres on the bogey:thumbup1:
  7. Looks a really good reach, something like that would be perfect. Thanks
  8. I find the jump in power from 2 to 3 is pretty big, especially the reach. The jump from 3-5 is huge! The 3 can still do garden jobs, sneak across lawns and get you don't need to crown lift an entire woodland just to scrape some brambles.
  9. Good luck, thats the right attitude. Get outside in the fresh air:thumbup1:
  10. I'm not a rd bike guy, what's Valencia? I've been there, but I don't know if you live in Italy or not:confused1:
  11. Had all the RSA things you can get , well the first signs of it, so I changed how I worked. I have the lightest top handle on the market( I think) so no more sore forearm or wrist. I changed my climbing technique for about a year to rest my 1 side aswell and just do jobs differently now. Oh and I walk behind a big mower 2 days a week for 6 months of the year wearing shorts and listening to music:biggrin: Anyhoo, back to digger pics please:thumbup1:
  12. My first jeep was a little four track, the 2.8 commercial. I loved it! They were brilliant jeeps and amazing at towing. I didn't realise they did a 4 seater. I'm sure you will have realistic expectations of £400 , 19 year old jeep. Good luck
  13. I thought I dropped 10p, I was just checking:biggrin:
  14. I don't cut stones or soil:001_rolleyes: I don't micro cut and lower everything like a lot of folk, I crash it down big, mind steer the limbs away from obstacles and then either leave for habitat or lift it big with something:biggrin: I want a digger with all the jazz on it and I will find stuff to do with it. Tom a 3 tonner is a cracking size, if I was going to buy a big digger I'd just get a 12 tonner, same hassle shifting it , yet so much more power. But I'm not a good enough operator to go ditching or digging founds, and I never will be. I'm only talking for shifting a few sticks about on the odd job I get here and there and around the farm .
  15. That's exactly what it is from what I've been told. It may be a 280. Here's me this afternoon:lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gyl7KyaBG6c&feature=youtube_gdata_player]Scorpa T-Ride - YouTube[/ame]
  16. That's very green indeed Wooded, nice 1. Chris it's a 250 4 stroke. It's a Scorpa T Ride.
  17. Ive had diggers before but never set up right for woodland working. I want a 3 tonner, with Forestery guarding round the cab and a hydraulic winch mounted on it. I know LPG Eddie has his lovely Kibuto , but that's way out my budget. At pics or advise would be great Thanks
  18. Cheers Geoff, I'm not an on rd rider, I'll be taking the indicators and other bits off before they get broken. I've never got on with crossers, all my riding is on hill ground and moor and the on off throttle is not my bag. I've always had trials bikes, great for jumping ditches. The 4 stroke is lovely aswell for the long climbs in higher gears. Oh and electric start is sweeeeeet!!! The back tyre is a bit rounded, I'll keep a note of that link mate cheers:thumbup1:
  19. Your asking the question only shows the type of weakness that let your groundie feel it was acceptable to do such a thing.
  20. There's no way 1 person can know how every single tree surgery company is ran or if makes money or not. Personally I don't want other tree companies to do well, I want them to struggle and go out of business so there's more for me:thumbup:
  21. Diet is the most important, trying to avoid the crash is my aim. I've been in healthy all week and no fresh coffees.
