Does a defibrillator count as a machine?

No, he said (first) ’where were these people?’

Those petrol winches really look the business.

I was going to keep it, just for the winch, but now I have a flail and logsplitter for the MO it has to go. It is too much money just sitting there. My BIL has ‘bought’ it (waiting to sell his) so it’s effectively sold. I will keep the winch and look out for a cheaper older tractor to put it on. I advertised it in the UK with all the gubbins, got a lot of internet tyre kickers.

14k and it’s yours, problem solved.

Tirfor will be very very very slow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wXP5EdkR9o Petrol powered winches are handy looking, but if you’ve got no money..

Valuable money wise (cost) or in the sense that it makes money?

Yes Stu, not going to dig too deep for a back up. Did not know know that about post 2012 stuff, thanks.

Lot of Yanks use these.

How strange.

Now just back the truck up a bit! Engine wise the v1505 is a masterpiece, no need to overhaul it if it runs ok, just filters etc. Otherwise, anvil, rotor bearings, roller blades. How bad is it?

Ahhh, thanks Don, I appreciate the input, i had suspected the Jensen was getting a bit long in the tooth compared to more modern stuff. Think I’ll keep my powder dry so to speak.

Saw it (between dozing) if I was Belgian I’d be gutted to have missed out on the final, a class outfit. we’re not in the same league.

From what I’ve seen, standard over and under.

So here’s my scenario. My Forst ST8 has done 2 years now, not without incident, but that’s a different issue. What I have in mind is to get a a328 tracked to keep the hours off the Forst especially on the all day chipping jobs, plus as a back up. 1: They’re very cheap for a hell of a machine (68 horses as opposed to 44 for the forst) 2: In France a British bought road going chipper will be impossible to register, so illegal to tow, and hard to resell, I can easily put the Jensen in the Ifor to get it to the job. I have shown some ankle to a couple of dealers and have seen a vid of one in action. I was kind of unimpressed but there are all sorts of factors, blunt blades, bone dry wood, and that sometimes video doesn’t do them justice. I really want a significant increase in throughput to make it worthwhile. I would have thought a lot of you guys have used a 328 in the past (probably in utility) and a Forst more recently and could tell me if there is a real step up. Thanks in advance.

Pathetic wasn't it? Have you ever seen so many virtue signaling twats in one place?

Strange isn’t it? At 85 my father could still read a paper without glasses as long as he was sat next to the window. I wonder if computer screen usage is a factor.

With my poundland glasses as well, need all the heip I can get!

Good find, thanks.

Back in the mid nineties when I worked in SE London you saw it a lot. I recall (maybe in error) someone on here saying it had disappeared from the London area.
