I could have played with this for hours 😆
Mates new to him bobcat e26, Hywel Evans set up hitch, guard and lights, twin rollers, hydraulic hitch.
Impressive set up, plenty of lifting,twisting and grabbing power, cab felt roomy enough for a zero tail and all felt tight enough for 2800hrs.
Ideal for him- they're tree surgeons, don't know what the buckets are for 😆 😂

What’s with the earth tape on the joystick that’ll be a sticky mess soon. Needs some amalgamation tape etc

Just to change the subject but on the same thread, what geometry bucket do you use for digging a small hole quite deep, I'm talking 500 square around 1000 deep. I seem to end up with a meter square every time I try to keep it tight.
I have some 203x203 columns to plant and concrete in. I have an auger with 300 diameter but it turns out I'm not that good at putting the hole in the right place.
Trouble with augers is deviation. You need a mast and guide to get the level of vertical accuracy you need.

I find self amalgamating ('loom') tape very hard to find these days ... ideal for that though, but'd still need a bit of adhesive to finish the tail with

The rubber type tape is available from screwfix/toolstation I assume on the shelf. The last fabric-type loom tape was some Tesa stuff from ebay when I re wrapped my golf wiring loom.

the self amalgamating I was talking about is a plastic not rubber, but know what you mean ..... haven't seen the fabric sticky tape in years -- been trying to think of the name of it :unsure::unsure:

Was out quoting today and popped in to see @Mogman (and collect a bucket I agreed to buy off him in January 2024 according to WhatsApp!…)
No pics, but I can confirm his kettle still works perfectly, and his yard is an ever-improving Aladdin’s cave of interesting projects and ace tools!
Good to catch up mate, thanks for the brew and the banter!
