13t and ripper tooth. Days work depending upon species and soil type can they stay on site? Major extra costs if not.

Try to find a groundworks company that specialise in it. Not just an idiot with a hired in mini digger. How many stumps, what size stumps and what kind of access? This was this mornings job- dig this yew stump out without damaging the wall. Wouldn't have been possible without the tiltrotator to get underneath it sideways. Getting rid of stumps will cost you an absoloute bomb at the green waste site.

I have a large quantity of good sized boxwood here. Need to process it down for storage prior to sale. What lengths are most profitable (it's up to 8" diameter), and what's the best treatment to stop splitting? I have a wax spraying gun here. Let surface water evaporate and then spray the ends? Or spray the whole log? Or what? Thanks.

Do you see what I mean about that bloody long arm? The grab is still on the ground and the boom is already out of lift! Horrible setup.

Life’s too short! 🤣

My two yard cats, who spend the whole day doing nothing.

Love my tx200. Best springer on the market for me.

Both bsa and gamo springers have some of the worst triggers imaginable. BSA are owned by Gamo now. Go for a Weirach instead.

Worked beautifully and shitloads of pushing power. Fantastic machine on the right job but that right job came along only three times in over a year so I sold it.

You might get an older bobcat e26 or e25 with twin aux on rollers and 3k hours for £15/16k. A new grab and rotator would run you approx £3.5k. So doable with your budget assuming that’s ex vat. If that’s your budget inc vat then you may have to settle for foot pedals I’m afraid- it’s easy enough to divert the offset pedal to run a rotator on any machine. The trouble is that twin aux on rollers is a relatively new thing. Chinese machines have always been fairly well specced in that respect with twin aux standard. So a secondhand Sany 26u would do what you need within budget, although it wouldn’t be my choice for an arb digger. Nor would the liugong. a smaller machine will be a little cheaper but twin aux is even rarer on a 1.9t and they are still expensive new. Almost all of them also spoil the grab by having a silly ‘long arm’ which means you are out of straight lift height as soon as you’ve got the grab off the deck, so have to use the dipper for the rest of your lift. This instantly puts the load further away from you and decreases your lift capacity and stability severely. Depending upon how far away you are from West Sussex, my bobcat e19 with twin aux, hydraulic hitch and a short dipper is due to be changed soon and would be within budget. It’s a 2020 model with 850 hours. PM me if interested.

Mine ended up in the bin! Based on the performance of the Milwaukee M18 top handle it'll be totally outclassed by the M18 back handle anyhow.

The Makita twin 18v battery electric chainsaw has a load sensor so it wouldn’t start if the chain was touching something. caught me out a few times when the oil ran out as the chain began to bind and the saw wouldn’t start up.

You will get an approx 5 year old mainstream machine, 1500-2000 hours, with twin aux for that. Bobcat, Kubota etc. you could also get a nearly new chinese machine with twin aux for that. i would get one with twin aux whatever you do, its much cheaper in the long run.

What are you looking to spend?

He’s talking about a mini digger!!
