I have the spider 1 and it is a brilliant piece of kit! Also having the winch gives you piece of mind if working near water. Get a demo you won't be disappointed. TH whites are the dealers
-
Haha why have you had a few problems with it? It doesn't seem to be the strongest thing in the world I must admit.
-
Hi, yes it is Kelfri
-
Rotator grab we fitted last week 👌
-
Haha cheers she's is a little beauty 👍

I had ordered new bushes and pins for the it but never got round to doing it. I have them over to matt at Budd plant and I would of thought he would of done that. All the machines he sells are always in good condition he doesn't sell any rubbish. But obviously I'd ask him if he has. They were not bad I just wanted to get them done before we got busy in the winter with it again, but then ended up changing it anyway.

Haha yeah small world. Regarding the quick hitch my attachments didn't fit it other than a flail head. But it's easily removed and then you can just manually put the attachments on. The machine was a good strong digger. No i didn't paint it, it was in good condition when I bought it. I didn't even have it a year as I upgraded from a Volvo ec15 to the Takeuchi and then I've just upgraded to that Hitachi as I wanted something I can put a tree shear on. I would say it's a good machine to buy 👍👍
-
Hi matt I traded it into Budd plant, the Hitachi is the 3rd machine I've had from them. If it's the same one it comes with the grab too?
-
Just traded my Takeuchi Tb016 in for the 2.8t Hitachi. Got to say I loved the Takeuchi it was a solid little digger but the Hitachi is just a smooth bigger toy 👍

Hi Paul I haven't been for a few years, even though I live 20mins away from Westonbirt. I took my 3year old and had a really good day out (he hasn't taken his free stihl hat off yet), and spent a lot longer there than planned too but that might be due to the little un playing with everything in site. I was really impressed with the amount of larger kit stands that was there like the tree shears etc as I feel that a lot of tree work is heading down that route and it was good to get some info on that side of it. All in all I will give you 2 thumbs up for it. It was free for me to get in due to being a friend of the Arboretum haha. James -

I got both but I feel a lot better about the security of the kit when on site with the panel van. I got a transit custom but could do with a sprinter or something larger
-
45 degrees?? Really? I'd like to see you do that and stay on it! Slight smell of............

☝️is right, no place for a ride on if your on slopes/banks. Spider do a Mini model and they are pretty cheap. I use my Spider1 and love it
-
Try adding Icade to the mix as well as this attacks more hardier species of weed.

Undo the springs on the side of the rollers, then use the bar (may need a scaffold bar if it's tight) to open up the roller it gets very stiff if crap builds up. Clean it and grease it, it will sort it out
-
When I bought my first Jenson they supplied me with the correct socket and torque wrench to suit that machine and now two Jensons and a Forst later it still fits.
-
Go on the Arb Association perpetration workshop. It tells you everything they expect of you before you take the assessment. It's more about the H&S side than how good you can prune. It is a lot of crossing the T's and dotting the I's. I'm just in the final stages of getting all my stuff up together to go for it. It's taken a lot longer than I thought it would. Good luck with it

This is picture from Kingwell holdings website, looks a quality bit of kit!
-
I have a 1.8 ton digger with the auger torque stump planer and I can say don't bother with it! The machine just doesn't have enough grunt to push through the timber even with new blades on it. My timber grab pulls stumps out the ground quicker than the grinder grinds them. The digger makes me more money than the stump grinder would ever make me. We have a auger/ post rammer/ grab/ buckets and flail for it and it is flat out working! It's my Best Buy by far!
-
Cheers, where did you get that from and what sort of money are they?
-
I am looking at getting a demo on the spider mini mower to help out with the work we currently do with our scag. I was wondering if anyone has used them and has any pros and cons about the machine? TIA, James
-
To be honest it's more for security as it going around a small woodland at a school and I'm not even sure there is any deer! But anyway they have asked for a 6ft stock net type fence. I was just seeing if there is any other technique to erecting it other than what we would normally do with stock net! Other than buy a bigger strainer bar! 😉
-
We have a job in the next couple of weeks to erect some deer fencing I was just seeing if anyone has any tips as we don't do a lot of it! We do plenty of stock fencing but not deer so any input would be much appreciated 👍
