    All this refuelling gear is expensive! You can have my 200 litre fuel cube very cheap shortly if you like as I'm going up to 500litre, but you can't just throw it about that easily? Deso do a nice one, they usually have them to look at at Soddards and the beauty of these is you can handle them easily on/off transport when empty. These are fully bunded. Get a Plant Nappy from Pig Products too for the spills. Diesel Dispensers | Deso Engineering Eddie.

    I liked the look of this Farmi 380 with what are legs for a crane mount. It could make some weapon on the back of a roofmount to give a bit more stability and would give a huge capacity plus infeed conveyor. The Farmi should also produce a pretty nice chip if my current 260 is anything to go by. Could anything else 3 point mounted match it as I'm looking at a chipper upgrade? Eddie.

    It's at Scotplant show on the JCC Engcon stand if he gets it done in time, and out to me asap after as I'm lost already without one! Eddie.

    Well the first of the Kubota's went today, with the 8 tonner winding it's way down south to Bordon Hants. If anyone needs a top spec LGP 8 tonne machine with Tiltrotator winch and grab etc let me know and I'll pass you the owners details. Sad to see it go as it's been a fantastic bit of kit, and hopefully the new one can live up to expectations. Eddie.

    They do all types and they're good kit. I just use a Karcher run from a small generator as they suck from a barrel no problem and a couple of 25litre drums of water will do a surprising amount on a midi digger. Eddie.

    Not knocking at all, there are massive regional variations and people have different levels of reward they need to achieve. If he's giving you the service you require at a rate that he's happy to achieve that's just business. Eddie.

    I'd look at Brendon Powerwashers. If you have a Tractor perhaps a PTO version? Brendon Powerwashers - Product Profile Eddie.

    What's the machine like? Eddie.

    A better video? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MqPl0q-2gU]1590XP Bandit Greenteeth - YouTube[/ame] Eddie.

    A bit too small really? I saw this setup and my head is spinning now! It would be better tracked for me though? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLDAvNP8DYs]Bandit 1590XP - YouTube[/ame] Eddie.

    A lot of what I would deem 'Landscapers' rates on here and no relation to actual real world 'Plant Hire'? £260 per day for a 1.5 tonner and it would never move out of the shed! There are also massive regional variations to rates. Eddie.
  12. LGP Eddie
    It's rated at 10 tonne I believe and I'm told it's doing the job brilliantly. I may get a go myself next week. Eddie.

    When will this new 1890 be passing through your yard as I'd like a look around it if possible? Eddie.
  14. LGP Eddie
    They are a great company to deal with and highly recommended. The Dumper is performing brilliantly, but I wouldn't want it on a big job with a load of stumps, one of those tracks would be eye watering to replace! Eddie.
  15. LGP Eddie
    Here you go Stephen, we had to call in the big guns and this is a monster!! Full 360 rotation. Eddie.
  16. LGP Eddie
    That looks some bit of kit! Would a 1590 of similar spec reduce cost much? How would a 1590 compare to the 1890? Eddie.
  17. LGP Eddie
    What model is that?? Can it be had full Radio Remote in terms of feed and tracking to operate from an Excavator? What would be a rough price guide without the crane and blade? Eddie.
  18. LGP Eddie
    Yes it will have the two piece boom this time. I've never seen a Thumb on an EA machine before? Eddie.
  19. LGP Eddie
    I'll certainly miss it, but I'm having the new Dash 4 Kubota 8 tonner to replace it, with quite a few extra touches added. It never even got advertised. Eddie.

    I can hardly believe it but my LGP Kubota is entering it's last week of service with me! It's been a simply fantastic bit of kit and will serve the new owner well. Busy to the last sorting out a real mess, and this sort of terrain is where a machine with the Engcon grab comes into it's own. I got to do a bit of 'V' ditching with a 20 tonner on this site, and it's a job I really love, but had to drop a few pipes in for a road to cross first. The Kubota handled them easily at 1275kg each despite 700kg of Engcon and grab on the end! Eddie.
  21. LGP Eddie
    Yes it really would be handy especially as I would be in full control of the operation with the dumper free as you say for moving chip. A real nice setup for certain. There should be something to show next week in the Guillotine Grab/Shear mounted under an Engcon line? I was considering a tow hitch Charlie as it would be handy for rescuing Alstor's but Alpines may fare better!! Eddie.
  22. LGP Eddie
    Just look out for a tidy Pel Job EB12.4 which evolved when bought out by Volvo into the EC15 in the grey/yellow colours which is the model you should get for your budget? These were for quite sometime the absolute benchmark of 1.5 tonners and completely bombproof! They can be had for handy money and a tidy one should handle anything you can throw at it. Eddie
  23. LGP Eddie
    There's quite a few doing these heads now in various forms, some with accumulating arms to gather more small stuff together. Intermercato, Mechanil, and Biojack are a few. I agree on the Bandit, I had a real good look at the Confor show and I really liked what I saw. I've been looking at a demount setup to go on the Tracked Dumper, but something like this towed version perhaps with bandtracks for wetter sites would be well for a look for me. Eddie.
  24. LGP Eddie
    I've been looking at ways of fitting a Bandit Chipper on the Tracked Dumper Forwarder to follow up after the machine, but I really had to go for a lie down when I saw this setup!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MqPl0q-2gU]1590XP Bandit Greenteeth - YouTube[/ame] Eddie.

    When I had the Valtra N101 on hire I used to take it directly to the local fuel supplier and fill up off the red pump there which focused the mind! Working it out, the Valtra which was exceptional on fuel, worked out on lightish duties pretty much the same as running my TDCi Defender and Ifor Williams tipper locally? Obviously the Defender does more to the gallon but the high price of white diesel is the levelling factor. I have found the Valtra's to be very good on fuel apart from the N163 which liked a drop, with the Direct transmission. Eddie.
