  1. Buy yourself a stihl fs410c - it will never let you down & can handle a multitude of cutting heads.
  2. Then there is the downside of defender ownership.... Winching out Sycamore stems last Thursday and this happened to my 14000 lb break strain First Four Shadow winch line...... Good job it wasn't a steel wire rope.....
  3. I've seen my dream 130...... It's one of these with portal hubs, air suspension, air lockers back and front, tipper + the brilliant tdv6 saluku engine installed from JE Engineering.... ;) The orange writing is what the spec becomes over standard (white).

  9. Hi Jon, The stillage cages come from a manufacturer in Kettering. I bought s/hand but you can also buy new; paid £45 + VAT delivered. As they fold flat, you can get up to 10 on a blue pallet, so delivery costs are low.
  10. Hi Simon, Work is picking for the Deltrak, once people see it in action they can't get enough of it. Done bramble bashing in Northants, Kent & in Herts. It's great on overgrown development sites and loves banks.
