I fit the description ie arb contracting with some milling on the side.  I've no idea what your stumpgrinding attachment cost but I can for definite say that my F2+ would never be an equal swap for it.  I'd rather dig out stumps with a sharpened spoon.

 

You can buy a cheapish Rock grinder for less than an F2 still I think. 

 

Not meaning to cause any offence btw, just think you might need to revise your expectations of what you have is worth.  But good luck with shifting it.

Ok ,  they go for just over 3k new and go for around 1.5-2k used depending on condition , logosol f2 new £1680 & f2+ £2040 Inc vat (bare mill ,which is what Iam after), so used I've seen logosol f series go for 1-1.5k and farmers m7/8 £750-£1000 so in terms of value roughly the same, so again a perfectly reasonable trade , which is why I asked.

Rather dig out stump with a spoon ? Ever used one with sharp teeth? Guess not.

Can you store the cheap rockmachinery stump grinder on a shelf or behind truck seat for them last minute "could you just jobs"? Or have room for another 200kg piece of machinery.

Of course no offence taken, this is the internet after all.

Swap still available if anyone's got a logsol m8 or f2 mill or logosol timberjig with rail gathering dust👍

Cheers all!, yea finish on Nessie was tedious a lot of area cover , did it with manpa gouge cutter, so bit faster then with tip of saw👍

Two of the more unusual carvings from this year, E.t finger lights up with small led 👽. Nessie was to be used as seating for xc eventing course by a pond

Iam not far down the road , also Simon (wisewood) on here is the carver in Southport 👍

As above, definitely go for one of the caps, I've got the JSP powercap , expensive for what it is, but probably spent at least that amount on all sorts of mask/goggle/glasses combinations over the years

Most of the guys that mill would not have a use for that only the odd tree surgeon does a little bit of milling. 

Are you on crack? That's exactly who Iam aiming trade with🤣

Chainsaw stump grinder still available gathering dust , ideally swap for logsol m8/f  mill

Cheers lads  thanks for the comments👌, as always the order book is fully open🤣

I have an M7 i no longer use not really thought about selling it to be honest. 

Hi, pm me a price if you do decide sell 👍, just seeing what's available used before looking at new, cheers 

Carved from oak with Danish oil finish 🐟

Not much really you can do if it was green when carved, I've found heavy oiling then varnish finish can help reduce but not stop the splitting 👍

As per title , any of the older logosol series for sale m7/8 or early f series ? Also got a terminator chainsaw grinder(see listing in classifieds for more details) be up for swap with if any interest 

I've got a terminator saw attachment back up for sale , check out the classifieds. Just that the new teeth have had one small stumps use

Few carvings from end of the year another school bench , pair of hobbits , bear, German shepherd bust and a pair of Kermit's . All carved from oak 90%ish saw work with fine details with the Dremels and die grinders👍

Hey up, I've got the rear handle battery Stihl msa200 & 161? used for both tree work and carving, but recently my petrol echo top handle was playing up so I went for the Makita battery topper and it's really good, if had time again I would of brought the Makita rear handles instead of the Stihls and saved a lot of money and brought stack of Makita batteries with the saving.

Just bought a Sherpa 100 Agri, absolutely loving it, any excuse I can find to get it out on a job. I’ve seen others on here have fabricated weight plates on the back for counterweight, If anyone has any close up pics or info on how they did it that they can share it would be highly appreciated! 

I had this made up by local engineering firm, cost around 90-100£, weighs 20kg. Fits original bolts holes so no drilling and looks factory kit, hope it helps👍

Lee - I’ve got a hydraulic Oxdale splitter you are welcome to borrow to see if it works on your Sherpa before you spend your hard-earned on one mate.

Nice one Dan, I'll give you ring in the week👍

I have a 20t one- runs fine. Obviously the bigger the ram the slower the stroke, but the more power.

 

Sherpa flow is 20 litres a minute, and a bit more pressure than your average beaver pack which is noticeable. The beaver packs with a 13hp Honda put out 30 LPM, at a lower pressure.

 

All log splitter are much of a muchness. A 10t one would be nice and quick, but might struggle on bigger lumps. You pays your money your takes your choice really.

Thanks for the reply, which model/make have you got? Are the oxdale ones any good ? Or are they more or less the same thing just different colour paint? , Cheers 

Anyone running a log splitter on Sherpa agri , which model and how is it? Cheers
