  1. 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.
  2. Thinking of the big fella today, this thread needs a revival! let's see those 2021 lunges 😀
  3. In 3 words. Bounce Back Loan 😀
  4. Depends what angle I have to go out at and how far! im more diameter of a thigh myself.
  5. Turns out the sealed unopened lucozade was from the 1940's!
  6. 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!
  7. 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!!
  8. That was about 4 hrs work, she wasn't even out of breath.😀
  9. Part of a rhody clearing job, I was taking stumps out .
  10. That’s a stunning piece of kit. Out of interest, anyone considering selling a Mog?
  11. I must admit if I’d done what Chris had done an add the tipping body I reckon I’d still have the Iveco. The current owner is on here, good to see him post some pics of it and see how is wearing after a good few years of work.
  12. Dig dug, first day I jammed it in a stump on a banking and had to cut it out 😀 you learn as you go!never done it since. Git works fine on Cat, you know when to ease off or transfer the energy onto the woods and not the machine. Going to flush the broken limbs after lunch.
