  1. I'd look at Brendon Powerwashers. If you have a Tractor perhaps a PTO version? Brendon Powerwashers - Product Profile Eddie.
  2. A better video? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MqPl0q-2gU]1590XP Bandit Greenteeth - YouTube[/ame] Eddie.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. When will this new 1890 be passing through your yard as I'd like a look around it if possible? Eddie.
  7. 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.
  8. Here you go Stephen, we had to call in the big guns and this is a monster!! Full 360 rotation. Eddie.
  9. That looks some bit of kit! Would a 1590 of similar spec reduce cost much? How would a 1590 compare to the 1890? Eddie.
  10. 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.
  11. Yes it will have the two piece boom this time. I've never seen a Thumb on an EA machine before? Eddie.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Interesting job by the sounds of it, but just an odd concern? If the Mog is towing a chipper capable of 24" (min) and you're using it to any sort of efficiency, it'll surely not take long to fill the chip box?? I hope we get some pictures? Eddie.
  20. Andrew at Excac-one really has got these shears sorted now with the Kinshoffer rotator on them. That's a great setup there. I've hopefully got the Intermercato Tiger Cut coming later this week, and this should be the first with the 10" knife in? I have opted for the Tiger Cut as it does grip what it's cutting, plus it's lighter to go under the Engcon Tiltrotator, but I won't hesitate to switch to the Exac-one unit if it doesn't perform as well. Shears really have taken off this year, and I know they've been selling in some volumes? Eddie.
  21. Just dealing with a couple from the storms on the way out from a site we've been on and off for a couple of years. Not really my thing, but no issues for the Kubota and winch, plus we managed to get everything back tidy on the verges. Eddie.
  22. You'll have to pm me a link if at all possible. Thanks Eddie.
  23. Certainly not a daft question, and if money was no object plus I did a huge percentage of mulching then a complete separate powerpack on the machine is the way to go. Ideally 100hp with all the pumps and cooling to match would really make it fly! This is about as good as it can get on this machine utilising the standard hydraulics, and in Rhodies, which it does a lot of, it goes very well. Eddie.
  24. I just got my latest FAE Mulching Head for the 8 tonne machine today. It's had a host of modifications based on previous experience, plus the addition of a walking leg to help the machine get about on tricky going and it also enables me to move material about or flick out the roots and mulch them. I'm really pleased with the result, and it'll get a proper workout next week. Eddie.
