  1. Jansen is excellent ‘ze German quality’ branding on Chinese imports. Same product ranges as Lumag in the UK. I particularly like their smiling Germans in overalls on their website. Possibly they assemble a few bits on site in order to claim ‘manufactured in Germany’. If they were built in Germany then MicroPelle would sue the pants off them for trademark infringement I reckon. @Dave Alviti- how come you stopped importing the micro bull?
  2. Quite a few of the Jansen type went through euros directly from China last month. I was watching to bid on something else and they were beforehand, must have been a hundred. Copies of Ditch witch, micro bull, Vermeer, every brand! I’m almost tempted to grab one next auction.

  3. No wonder frank alviti have stopped importing the micro bull! there’s some seriously cheap little loaders coming out of China currently. No reason for every firm not to own one, they are the cheapest man on the job. Although you should import them with a larger engine, 9hp and 2.5km/h (not mph!) is going to be too slow for anyone here to entertain.
  4. Nope, they do the 1.9 as per the post above, and a 3.8t.
  5. Wait till you get a price. Only available in the UK as Case. Enquired and they said they handn't sold so well and they had a couple of 2023 models, new old stock. Aha, thought I. £33k plus vat. No thanks. It's a bit of a joke machine tbh- apparently it's for 'internal demolition'. If so then why isn't it electric or a hybrid at the least?
  6. That was the one on marketplace, Portsmouth way? I thought it looked quite good value.
  7. QE is bullish for both gold and crypto.
  8. More like the other way round- people are pulling money out of crypto and overvalued American stocks into a safe haven. silver in particular has been suppressed via paper shorts for years. Central banks are on a big gold shopping spree to meet Basel 3, the dollar is going down the pan, and war is everywhere.

    And regardless, the point is moot now. bloody Milwaukee m18 polesaw just stopped working. Packed it up and waiting for courier- they’d better sort it without quibble, it’s hardly been used. then the bar bent on the m18 chainsaw. Putting it in the vice and it’s like cheese compared to a stihl or Oregon I have here- luckily a 181 bar mount is the right fitment. But regarding the polesaw- turns out that with a bit of insulating tape to shim the tube up and a sand down of the driveshaft by 0.2mm, you can fit a stihl engine onto a husky polesaw shaft! So now I have a Stihl engine that is older than the polesaw on it, which I have every confidence in the reliability of. Time to treat myself to a new combi engine.

    Ok, here’s the best photos I can do of the bore. I can’t see any scratching, just slight vertical lines. what do the more learned minds think?
  11. Those cnts have always been ‘America First’. Trump just exemplifies it.
  12. I’ve never heard it called that before, but congratulations on finding a girl who is into ropes and knots….
  13. I always thought that joke was about birch! works for both I guess.
  14. Don’t really do loading trailers etc but it’s just incredible for grab work. You loose so much height on a normal machine with a grab and rotator. I wish someone would make a triple boom with a 2.7 tonner.
  15. Ok you win! A beautiful machine! The Mecalac isn’t bad either…😂
