    @doobin is it as simple as long or regular? Or long, regular, short? I’ve found a doonsan dx19 & bobcat e20 with regular dippers….allegedly

    Thanks mate, I know I’m aiming for something that won’t do the same as a 2.7t machine, but I’m hoping it will be a stepping stone so long as it’s useful to begin with! I was after a mini skid steer originally so I’m hoping this will be more efficient. I’ve asked Hywel to see what he can find, he’s a hell of a nice guy! Very helpful so I’m sure he will come up with something but I thought it never hurts to get opinions from people who run them themselves. Are there any machines out there that DONT come with a long dipper commonly? I’ve seen a couple of Doosan DX19’s that look good for the money, sany seemed about the same bracket.

    Thanks mate, that was basically what I was after! I can’t afford new, and don’t want the overhead of finance with a machine that may not come out every day. I’m looking at 2nd hand e19’s that come in around 10/12k, but obviously I need to make sure they have a short/regular dipper. Towing a 3.5t rig would be a lot of extra load for my vehicles as we’re doing up to 2 hours each way some days, so the lighter weight would be a big bonus. It’s basically a bit of a demo for me-if the machine is a godsend and I quickly realise I need bigger, then so be it. If not, I haven’t spent £25k plus to try it out. I know the e19 would never match up to an e27, but as a stand alone machine how do you find it @doobin?

    Again, another rambling…… On from the skid steer idea, after chatting to a few people my way who run both I’ve decided a digger makes more sense for the workload/type, plus they are similar money and more versatile! I’ve got my heart set on a 1.8/2t machine, that will go on my 2700 plant trailer (weighs 600kg) and has vari tracks for access. I know 2.7t machines will move more but the lower weight/versatility is more important to me currently (plus they are cheaper) Does anyone out there run the smaller bobcat e19 or e20 as an arb digger, or a machine if a similar size-if so how do you find them? I did try trawling the arb digger thread but ran out of concentrate……..

    THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

    • FOR SALE
    • USED

    This advert is for my Timberwolf TW150DH woodchipper. It is in good condition for the age, and has been an absolutely fantastic little machine. I have owned for just over 12 months, when it came to me it had an extensive list of work done (see pictures) and since has only done approx 100 hours. It has just been fully serviced (22/8/25) including new belts & blades, oil & filters, brakes & wheel bearings adjusted etc. Only selling as workload requires a bigger machine. It is a very straight machine ready to go straight to work. Hours will increase slightly as it is still in use. Machine will be available from 8th September due to new machine being delivered. Any questions please PM or call/text. £4500.00 no vat (private sale)

    £4,500

    That’s a beaut! Do their grabs fit on other machines or just the WQ’s?
  7. Treetom15
    It almost makes you want to try one, how bad can they be for that much?!😂
  8. Treetom15
    That’s exactly what I’d like, the idea of a bollard is ideal-did you fabricate that yourself? @AHPP I can’t believe they’re no longer stocked either, a chap near me has one and loves it
  9. Treetom15
    That’s pretty much exactly what I’m looking for. The small size is more important than the raw lifting capacity, as I haven’t got a timber trailer to take stuff away so I’ll always be limited by trucks & trailers! What other attachments do you run on yours mate? That’s impressive what it’ll lift with the grab! If I’m down your way I will certainly take you up on that!
  10. Treetom15
    After looking at the options I think I’m most suited to something along the lines of a Worky Quad/Sherpa/MicroBull-simply because it will go in the back of the tipper, and the lower weight/cheaper cost is a big bonus! @Mark Bolam I seem to have it that you own a WQ? Pros/cons? I know there’s a TON of threads on the mini loaders, what’s the general consensus? I’d like something I can potentially run a few attachments on, maybe a topper/mulched in the future-is that feasible with these small units? And lastly….anyone selling a decent 2nd hand one?😂
  11. Treetom15
    That is basically exactly what I’m after-if I could spend 10k plus vat (ish) I’d much prefer to take a gamble on an old machine
  12. Treetom15
    I’ve tried frank, just waiting on a reply👍 I’ll look into the others cheers! I completely see why they rarely come up second hand. Clearly a buy right buy once job
  13. Treetom15
    Who would any of you guys recommend speaking to regarding a good second hand machine? They’re not massively common on eBay etc, and I’d rather buy second hand from a reputable source if possible
  14. Treetom15
    Exactly, a bit better than the usual powerline horrors if that’s possible😂
  15. Treetom15
    That looks the business! It’s ok weight wise in the tipper then?
