....don't tend to hear of people pushing the PPE boundaries to go along with their faster chain speeds. hmmm

Happy to rehome the esse for you if you want rid of it!

hmmm, I imagine the Stihl sales person did their apprenticeship at Currys.

Good call .....keep in mind it's a chainsaw.

gulp! That doesn't sound cheap. I have noticed the track motors can get warm on a full load. I leave the engine ticking over/ circulating hydraulic fluid at either end of the journey so it has a good chance to cool down. Not sure if this makes any difference though? cheers, steve

Thanks eddie, looks very posh. Would be good to see a video of it in action. cheers, Steve

Hi Mathew, Yep I was getting close to buying your TB016! I've been looking at the RSL hydraulic thumb grab, looks good and could be a useful multipurpose tool for various jobs.... like scrub clearance, turning compost heaps, lifting stuff. I think you're right about getting a separate log-splitter.... I'm just trying to think of ways of reducing outgoing costs, at least initially. Maybe the Fiskars axe will do us for a while?! I fitted a 50mm towball to the dozer blade and have been using a 1500kg single axle trailer - It's amazing how much weight the TB016 will pull (so long as there's enough track-traction). So I'm toying with the idea of using some kind of log-arch trailer. But I haven't seen anyone doing this with a small digger yet. cheers, steve

Thanks Stephen - I keep a regular check on your arb diggers page, in fact I've just plodded through all 112 pages for a refresh, that took a while!! cheers, steve

Got a few questions.... 1) Would a hydraulic thumb grab be powerful enough to split logs?.... at 35 litres/ minute flow rate. 2) Has anyone fitted a hydraulic cable winch to their mini digger? Any suitable solutions out there? 3) What are the limits for towing/ forwarding big lumps of timber out of the woods? Thinking of doing the above using a Takeuchi TB016.... (1.7t digger). Any advice appreciated. cheers, steve

It's like virtual porn for arb folk. I've been rubbing my knees so much it's time for new trousers. Great shop. cheers, steve

Shall I take that as a no-deal?.... tsk, there's no pleasing some folk.

I have a book called 'Sheds' happy to swap for woodchip.

I'm no expert but I'd say mental health (or lack of) did it.

I was expecting to see an elf pushing logs of chocolate (coated with hundreds & thousands sprinkles) being floated across a purple lawn in a marshmallow hover barrow. The clouds would be various zoo animal shapes.

Be good to see at at normal life speed cheers, steve

The video is playing so fast it's hard to see what's going on with that. cheers, steve

What is googlebox?

Surely best to buy a used Tirfor? I recently picked up a used Tirfor TU16 for £135 inc a 30m cable... although must admit I've not had a chance to use it properly yet. cheers, steve
-
Not sure what it'd be worth now? It cost over £2k about ten years ago. Probably not as much as my first AC30 that got stolen out my van. that was one of a matched pair, ex Brian May.... absolutely amazing sound, even better sounding than the one I've got now. I originally paid £300 for that! jeeeesh!!!!
-
Blue speakers, yeah definitely. I tried out a re-issue ac30 not long after they were launched.... absolute crud in comparison with the original ones. Cheers, steve
-
Not sure what a C2 is? Got an original top boost AC30.. 1967 ish I think. cheers, steve
