  1. Nah that thing could take a direct hit from an anti tank missile and still keep going Just need something easier to move and stack stuff.
  2. i thought it was going to go the other way lol
  3. Are parts still available? will be used as a yard machine. dunno if i should keep looking for something newer. i drove jcbs for years with no problems.
  4. Looking at a cat TH62 Ag spec its a 1995 model, has any 1 any experience of using these? what to look out for etc?
  5. Are they being removed? whats the story?
  6. We had 1 last week, they had cut down a load of pyracantha and left it on the front lawn as it was too much for the bin, "oh can you put that through for me please" lad chipping was not best pleased lol
  7. Got hiab in today to clear some timber from yesterday, got 2 load out of it Ash and snotty Poplar.
  8. Its not actually mine, this 1 is being loaned to us from Forst while mine is built. I must admit the remote control is really cool especially when someone is trying to feed it and it accidentally moves out of the way
  9. Kids set our crap pile on fire in the middle of summer! i got some right grief from the houses at the end of the lane as wind was blowing their way! we always light it when the wind is going the other way as their is just open fields there.
  10. Was thinking am i that bad
  11. Well yeah it was leaning and had all the weight on 1 side.
  12. Think its called the "i forgot to wear me glasses cut"
  13. when doing a dog tooth what is the point in making the back cut on an angle? i know others just come in level behind. Just the way i have being taught
  14. only good thing about site clearance is no clearing up
  15. 3 weeks....that must be 1 big site.
  16. We were waiting nearly 2 hour while they cleared roof trusses, concrete lintles, wooden stair cases and tubs of gobbo! "oh yeah it will all be clear for you" typical building site! got a hiab coming tomorrow to take all the heavy away
  17. Had it out onsite today, blasted through a load of pop and ash no problem, it must throw chip 20 feet easily. We were feeding it some big stuff too and it just spat it out the other end no fuss.
  18. Got the big bugger forgot how wide it actually was...rot was not too bad inside. lucky for me it left enough meat for a nice wide hinge. you could feel the ground rumble when it hit
  19. This machine we have being loaned has 120 hours on it, looks ok. their is a small leak from the coolant reservoir "down to a 1 pence clip" our top roller got stuck open on Saturday, put a lump through it and it cleared. This 1 has a black fuel tank on it also, ball ache to fill...the new ones have a clear tank on as far as i am aware. also no lashing points on this which makes strapping it down awkward. the 1 i demoed had tie down points.
  20. sawpod for me...had a phat strop but it gets in the way
  21. How many hours has yours done? problems?
  22. Some one did the same thing near me last year. the tree was not that big of a deal, they had 4 lifts to get up there, looked a rite ball ache! they got it all down though, fair play.
  23. Why steal a broken down vehicle and then set it on fire! What the fu*k is wrong with people!
  24. It is on the back but I am sure it extends up the tree a little. Gonna gob it out a couple of feet up an try get into some decent wood.
  25. If this video is like my previous, I knocked the go pro on the way up and spent 2 hours filming my visor
