I was there too. I'm guessing there might not be any machines working next year. Great couple of nights out in Tullamore.

That crane will not lift 2t at 2m. As someone said above it is similar to the 360TL which is part of the Botex smaller range.

I'm breaking one for spare parts just now if you need any parts or tyres for it.

A friend of mine asked me to help him get his 3 month old Doosan out after getting into a spot of bother whilst forestry ditching. Had to travel 300 yards with a 7 tonner using bog mats then dig all around the machine. Pulled the injectors to blow the water out of the engine then rigged a dummy fuel tank (it's own one was full of water). Left quite a hole! Back to base, quick run over with the pressure hose, handfull of relays replaced and the diesel tank flushed and she was as good as new. He has 600mm pads and a 6 tonne hydraulic winch fitted to the machine to help him through bad spots now. Very tricky job all the same.

Hello all Just found your forum and it looks great. I've been involved in the supply of machines for forestry work for a good few years now and have probably met quite a few of you at one time or another... although mainly the mechanical harvesting machine side. Anyway, looking forward to getting involved.
