Walking boots with a built on gator is the best way to describe them, you can get a cobra lace up or I went for just a pull tight with a stopper. Really light and fully waterproof. The gator can fold down and exposes the boot for taking on and off.

Anyone with a Power Ranger lid should be out the gang!

MP is just evil and should be avoided at all costs! Grab with digger only 😂 I found the jabs just agony compared to Blackthorn which causes pain and swelling, jabs to the knuckles or bone much worse than skin! If you get a Skelf get it out and watch out for infection and tracking.

1 man with a 500i will log that in a morning and walk away with £350 in his hand with a labourer throwing it into a pile if need be and still earn a good wage. It’s a 9th of your price so customer will be happy with that for now until insurance gets sorted would be my theory. Best of luck to them, most established companies have an owner with a bad back due to jobs like that when they first start out! speaking from experience!

Just do it! end result is you’ll have experience to pass onto others, nothing ventured nothing gained! You can chuck it anytime you want or continue, your life, your choice! best of luck! and if your not working in a T shirt, your not working hard enough! Charge on!

Do you rate the broom? Any pics of the grab at work? thanks

I’m going to go for a grab bucket with solid bottom and no sides and 2 independent grabs. Theory being no rubbish falls out, longer bits than the bucket can be lifted and if an uneven grab full there will be pressure on both sides plus it will lift timber and do levelling and dozing.

Only let down I didn’t have a suitable Avant attachment for dealing with the arisings. 4/1 only grabbed big stuff and small fell through, big stone rake was the same, forks and beak no use as I didn’t want a q00m trail across the lawn that needed tidied up at the end, so lad had to handball everything on neatly. I need a big oversize bucket, the Avant will handle it no bother.

It’s amazing what a machine can do, my kit all lying dirty in the containers which I hate but weather conditions don’t allow a good clean just now.

The fixed thumbs are limiting, go hydraulic and you can draw the ram in as you curl the bucket to allow you to lift more tight in and not be stuck working at almost full reach all the time. Demo grab imo is a. Much better grab for handling timber compared to a fixed timber grab. The fixed timber puts so much stress on the dipper when working and the timber angle is steep when lifting at full reach and height, the demo grab locks it of allowing the timber to sit level. Pushing down into a stack is better too and so much quicker at handling because the rams not having to open and shut as much as the timber. It’s just a different way of working. As far as lots of loose small rubble when using a thumb, get yourself a big riddle bucket, I’d say twice the size of your digging bucket. It’s half the weight I’d say and really nice to work along with the thumb.

How’s the wee loader doing Mark?

If it’s for rubble then I’d use a hydraulic thumb. If you want a grab get a demo grab not timber grab.

Had a lasco for years, can’t fault it.
