Thanks Chris

They sound like good machines Chris. Do you know who’s doing the auction?

Marks got a 8550 in but a few too many hours for me. He’s looking for a suitable unit hopefully something turns up Mike 🤞🏻

Cheers [emoji1303] Been speaking with Rob he had a 8350 in but I was too slow on making a decision.

Way up Mike [emoji1309]

Oh and one more to make you laugh…. When I crawled out the sunroof….. I thought there was body parts over the road …. Turns out it was a refrigerated meat van [emoji23]

Was over before I really knew what was going on. One thing I will say it was hell of a ride haha. Was very pee’d off about my yeti mug of 5 years getting flat packed [emoji23]

Been searching ads since October when it happened nothing of similar age of condition. Would get another 8150 and have a crane put on the roof but haven’t seen one for sale for months. People seem to be holding onto them. The search continues.

I got rear ended by a Van at 70mph….. van went under the hopper of the chipper picked it up on the 3 point linkage and flipped me over as I had it on a swinging knuckle to take the weight off the tractor when in chipping mode. Van roof was can opened off by the hopper. Van driver was ok. I had 2 weeks off work …. was lucky to climb out alive really. Broken rib, Road rash on my arm, Steel toe cap pinched my toes, and just totally black and blue, a few minor burns from being trapped and hot oil spraying on me. Not ideal but here to tell the tale. Onwards and upwards. Mission accepted to find a replacement as good as the last!

It’s totally destroyed unfortunately the frame for the crane has squashed the cab, the tractor axles are bent so she’s beyond repair. The crane for wrecked during the recovery which was gutting. Only had done 100hrs since the conversion. Spoken to Chandlers they are too high hours and pretty rough. Good condition, low hour used forestry tractors = hens teeth.

She’s bent and twisted beyond repair unfortunately. I’ll have a look through some pictures see if I’ve anything that could help. JASP built mine, could be worth a call to them, they’d make you up a frame to suit? Tom

Evening, After my unfortunate events, my 8150 & roof mount has been written off so I’m on the search. I am after a Valtra with a Botex / Kesla roof or jake mount. 8000 series or T series. Lower hours the better. Thanks Tom

It was indeed your old machine. Having operated numerous forwarders it was an eye opener for me at how productive it can be with such little impact. Tom

I’ve been lucky enough to work alongside Eddie and operate and see the tracked dumper with the timber crane is a great idea plenty of power and manoeuvrability can pick them up for around 15k the price of a decent quad and timber trailer with some modifications and a crane you can extract some serious timber. With less ground pressure than a human foot! Tom
