  1. 7 breakfasts in a week! 😀 the days of staff when I used to feed the troops would of been double that I bet!!!
  2. Loads of power, not as quick on the controls but I'll be honest ive slowed down a lot and getting more done. The thumb is amazing! I'll hardly use the grab now unless It's branches for chipping. I only had the 1.7t for 2 months, then swapped it fir tracked dumper as contracts changed and it was more suited at the time
  3. More refined but certainly not as quick. im just getting used to it
  4. Nope but made £4K 1 day pressure washing a factory! Best money I ever made 😀
  5. I'm too lazy to take it off even if it was a pain 😀
  6. The E27 with thumb I've bought is £7800 cheaper than CATs new 2.7d similar hydraulic spec without thumb. I can't fault my CAT in any way, it's .8 years old this year and never missed a beat.
  7. Thinking of the big fella today, this thread needs a revival! let's see those 2021 lunges 😀
  8. In 3 words. Bounce Back Loan 😀
  9. Depends what angle I have to go out at and how far! im more diameter of a thigh myself.
  10. Turns out the sealed unopened lucozade was from the 1940's!
  11. Dumper loading for the next couple of days. I love how things survive! this material has been scraped and loaded onto tracked dumper, traveled a few hundred metres, tipped and now reloaded into a 9 ton wheeled dumper and still in 1 piece!
  12. Unfortunately Mike you will always be just a climber, feller!! owning real machinery doesn't get you into Arb. now a trolley for 5' lengths of timber ! boom!! Arborist!!
