I'm open with every enquiry we have that they are not for everyone, If someone comes to me and says they do a lot of site clearance and big stuff then this isn't the machine for them. This is much more aimed at the domestic market where your trying to mechanise your day to day tree work to make life easier. A common comment is that some days it'll only do 20 minutes on site but knock hours off the job. The fact that it'll fit on a trailer with a tracked chipper (10x5) or in the bed of a truck/pickup is a big plus for lots of guys as well. It is the smallest tracked machine available - Which comes with positives but obviously means it then has it's limitations. Part of the reason we like to do a week long demo to make sure it's what the customer wants, We charge £400 for this (plus VAT) this covers the delivery and collection (this costs us £90 each way) So we're only really covering costs - This is fully refunded if a purchase is made, but ensures the customer is making the right choice for there business

Few more machines and attachments in the yard this week, had a bit of interest in the soil prep side of things from some landscaping guys so have both options available now. As well as base units ready to go

Not that I'm aware of sorry, you could try [email protected]

We've only sold the 23hp so far, the 18hp would more be aimed at the horse/stable market. Landscaping/treework the 23hp is the way to go

Yes, the customer understands this and hence why the tie backs have been fitted to allow it to be secured to something behind the machine. it's more for awkward sites skidding brash etc

The finished article

If you can afford it the FSI D30 is a hell of a machine, build quality and finish is second to none. And you can still get a diesel...

This little set up in progress at the moment, going through the workshop, new unit being provided with a custom winch plate and a standard log grab and grass flail

The latest addition to the microBull club sent me these over the weekend, wouldn't quite do a full IBC, maybe with a heavier driver! Or an extended footplate/counterweight when we get round to sorting one. That Yew log must weigh a fair bit though

If its the flat belt you are after you cannot buy from McConnel anymore, but we have a contck who makes them, i'll dig the number out in the morning, if it's the V belts as many have said you can get anywhere - If you've flat belt and want to make life easier we keep V belt conversion kits in stock - this replaces the pullies and taper locks and converts to a more modern V belt Give us a call if you like 01584711544 -

I thought that!

Few more customer pictures sent to me this week, the blade making light work of the clear up from the hedge cutter, He said it just required a blow after.

More user pics sent in, this one was collected last night, straight into some big stuff this morning! VID-20210430-WA0005.mp4

This was a customer's set up, we just provided a blank plate and he modified to fit his log splitter, at the moment I believe he's just using one of the std aux lines and a bunch to hold it open. So long as your log splitter is open centre it shouldn't be a problem. He may comment if different, pretty sure he's a member here

Starting to get a few more units out there now, with the next 4 machine sold before we've taken delivery demand is growing, Here are a few customer photos we've had in. The intermercato grab is on a manual rotator that I've designed and have been playing around with, needs a bit of refinement but works in principle VID_141440418_080043_637.mp4

Quick video of the mulcher whilst we checked everything over VID_192020602_173217_633.mp4

I was looking forward to trying one of the mulchers out, but both sold before we'd received them, so have had to order some more in! looks a solid little unit though, I'll try and get some more pictures before they get sent out, be handy for those back garden clearance jobs

Customers machine we fitted with grab and rotator, only one auxiliary function so diverter mounted on the boom, always a bit more awkward routing the pipes with the pendulum style grabs, nice set up though

That's unfortunate you've had engine troubles, we've had none so far. We tend to run ours flat out or close to. if working hard. If just pottering around then less is fine. For the higher speed tracking you need to be flat out on the revs

Very pleased to be on board! Please feel free to contact me directly if you've any queries - 07976901536 - [email protected], or message me on here -

We're working a solution

Looks good - I've seen a few other mini loader attachments that are essentially an upside down set of pallet tines for moving bulk bags, meaning the boom is in a lower position when in transport - The little log grab works well - a good amount of crushing force and can even shift logs lengthways -
