  1. With a cab as well that's a brilliant price. Grab and rotator also well worth the money as you say. Will move with you to your next machine with just a new headstock. What's totally mental is that I paid £14k for a Hyundai 1.7t in 2017! You chose to buy at a very good time indeed, dealers are desperate to shift stock particularly Chinese.
  2. What kind of money was that? It looks like it’s already more than earning its keep That’s an impressive sized stem to be lifting with a sub 2t machine 👍🏻
  3. And AI spambots can fk right off!
  4. Mechanisation is the way forward, I've always said it!
  5. What’s causing the bolts to shear? Should be easily fixed. It’s not like the hydraulic pump has shit itself in the first week, it’s teething issues. From the way you’re going off on one it doesn’t sound like you’ve bought tons of new machines as you claim. This is a minor issue. You should try a Bobcat or Antonio Carrarro if you want issues!
  6. Ideal, post some pics when you get it working.
  7. Customers field by a stream. I was exceptionally thankful for my new tractor with a cab, I can tell you!
  8. The one in my photo is a cheap Chinese one. Farmtech supplies. I added the push bars for reverse drive., plus a pto clutch. bloody great swing back blades underneath. It’s taken some serious stick, more than you’ll ever give it I should think.
  9. I second this. Twice as quick with a single rotor topper than a flail and in some fairly thick stuff too. Especially in thick non brassy stuff like long grass- that slows flails right down. runs great on reverse drive too.
  10. Just too used to a digger which never struggles!
  11. Does your crane struggle to slew with a load on even slightly steep ground? Mine does.
  12. Your boss is taking the piss, especially down south.
  13. Both the Doosan and Bobcat are on starship mileage at those hours. 3500 and 4000 hours are a lot for a machine that size. deffo a five gallon refurb on that bobcat too. id go with a 500 hour sany for the same money for sure. Will be a newer machine too.
  14. Sany tend to have joystick controls. Bobcat sometimes do. Doosan not often.
  15. That does look fairly short. Here’s mine for comparison. Foot pedals for grab and rotate would put me off.
