Zero accoutrements, well' cept a bare-bones poker, standard pressed steel shovel and brush, the logbox is a strong cardboard supermarket fruit box, a perfect fit and easy carried when loaded with logs. Fans are more psycological than physicalogical. Thermometers are not needed. Keep it simple folks. mth -
Schesssss !!!!, am no that stupid!

Nobody on 'ere got a pet Beaver?

I gather they were too!

If I correctly recall, it is ALL "plated" weights. except for the anomaly of towing a trailer plated at a higher weight than is legal for your licence or the towing vehicles legal limit, BUT, not an issue so long as the ACTUAL laden weight of the trailer falls under the legal limits for both the drivers licence and the towing vehicle. As I said a glaring anomaly. Marcus

I hope to goodness there were no female fire-fighters present, cos if they were they will be suffering from PTSD, based on an extrapolation of your avatar image vis-a-vis your likely "Y" front clad appearance. mth

And on the other hand what a perfect future Labour leader in the making.

Took a long time for the manufacturers to realize the benefits of the flotation type tyres, though I suppose it is only really a niche application.

Are Takeuchi machines particularly popular down Devon Cornwall direction, cos from my searches they seem to be . . .

What swung it for me was seeing the forktoes being twirled aboot and snuck in sideways on/anyshape on, using the Engcon/steelwrist unit, no piddling the machine back and forwards to get properly lined up. That and effortlessly switching about between the grab and the forktoes and the bucket, all quite mesmerizing to watch. Only problem is if I had a machine like that, I would never be able to remember where I left the other attachments, based on my quite head-scratching ability to mis-lay hand tools within minutes of last using them.

P.S. As an independant minded sort, I am happy put a £££££ price(in the short term only) on my relative freedoms within the UK. i.e. out of the European Federal State. Re the possible short-term costs of leaving the EC. And thinking of that time proved expression, good fences make for good neighbours. Accountability does not scale up, the bigger the state, the more removed are the mandarins from the electorate, and the greater the inefficiencies and waste. This wisdom applies in the business world too. marcus

I would have thought a Takeuchi rubber duck, with the 2 piece boom and Engon/steelwrist unitwould be the optimium fit. based on watching a few "Duckgirl 86" snippets, & roading is no issue.

Mull, If I were so desperate as to accept your offer of a fuck, for me that really would be sad.

Did I fail to mention that my admiration for JRM, comes despite his Papist beliefs, cos like me being Ulster Presbyterian raised an all, tis a funny old world innit! mth

Why do people attack the man for simply being what he was born, raised and educated to be, an intelligent well educated and wealthy gentleman. Who does not prostitute himself chasing votes/voters by constantly "smelling the wind", and changing his stance to suit the ephemeral zeitgeist. Unlike many other politicans. P.S I would add that I once saw a Gentleman described as; "someone who was never rude unintentionally". I also support giving children proper names, especially if they are recycled family names, however unusual they may to the Daily Mail/Mirror readers. Marcus

But crucially the pickup does not look overloaded(though from the loading, it looks like it should), based on the "stance" of the vehicle, which is borne out by Bill's comment re the surprisingly good steering.

On tother hand . . . I got a mighty lot of smiting to do, a human herd cull being well overdue.

Not an issue on the demo machine, with wide low profile tractor grip type tyres fitted, possibly filled with "gunk" or possibly kevlar ply lined, or else over the couple of hours of demo, the slow, pin-prick leaks were not yet noticable?

I tested an Attilla, an Etesia model, many years ago, for a 2 WD machine its traction was phenomenal, only matched by its apparently indestructible nature and cutting prowess. The test site was bramble covered well-steads on a fairly steep slope. There had to be a downside but it was not obvious on the test. m

cept thissun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Brown_(pilot) I simply could not recall his name yesterday when I saw this post.

Do the ditiz's that buy these not realize they are the perfect spider/creepy crawlie habitat/hide-out? P.S. Seriously hope not lit by a tealight or scented candle. M

Loads of jcb 8085's about, incl one at my very reputable local guy, any thoughts re this model, I do know the earlier 8080's were generally despised. m

Eddie, on reflection, despite my earlier determination to buy a steel tracked 10-13 tonner, it probably makes more sense for me to hire this machine for a week at a time, as per your hire comment, since sheaugh cleaning and maintenance works to the roddens(Moss access tracks) are easily quantifiable discrete chunks of work. And with the other small holding(where a pond needs cleaning of a lifetime of dumping of household waste by the previous occupants, etc etc, etc etc) site clearance for a future log cabin etc etc, being 6 miles away, no worries about moving the bigger digger. So I shall focus on purchasing a (hopefully cheaper) nominal 6 tonne rubber tracked machine for "footering" about the house, yard and garden, including firewood duties. Also presumably easier to sell on such a smaller rubber tracked machine, if needs be. Thanks, Marcus

My recently deceased big black dog Hugo, had the brains to stay a safe distance away when I was wielding the chainsaw, & generally sleeping peacefully behind a good solid tree, to protect himself from tractor attack most likely, like I said he warnt stupid! A tidy, minimalist/light on the ground set up there you got Rowan. Marcus
