if I could get into CEF I'd copy D4C's parting remarks ..... utter class .. and gave him his new moniker
the narcissistic, egotistical w who called me a ''welder without a shift'' ........ View attachment 48276

well if he's a lurker here that ought to flush him out

 

[Bri963]

They’d need the background. Specifically EMYH accusing me of marching grannies down the cash point because I charged more for a mini digger than he did a whole tilty 8t setup.

You aren’t a Nigerian Prince in your spare time, are you?

@Furniss bet you can’t wait to get rid of that horrible lump of a Strickland hitch!! It’s huge!!!

 

[Shovelhands]

Finally got a coat of pain on this today. Been busy making a few alterations that I promised myself I’d do when the stars needed replacing! That time has come and after 11 years service was due a birthday. Not a great paint job but much of it will get knocked off pretty quickly!

Bloomin lovely

@Furniss bet you can’t wait to get rid of that horrible lump of a Strickland hitch!! It’s huge!!!

S type hitches just look so right when you compare the two, makes you wonder why pin grabber hitches are the shape they are?

I was so chuffed that it picked up my existing 8t kubota buckets and attachments / tree shear etc along with the 45mm pinned stuff that came with it that i forgave it instantly !
Its a great little digger that 6.5t wacker is , so quiet and smooth on the sticks its a pleasure to use, it should be a proper little weapon with the engcon on

It looks like a proper little weapon already - great machine that, you seem to be getting along with it very well!

Had a play on the ditch witch today first thing. Just the ticket for scraping up compacted dirt in a tight space. Way more push than the Sherpa. Then back up the hill, took the opportunity to extract some free timber the keeper had cut whilst i was there.

 

[V8Druid]

that ditchwitch looks a tidy thing ... how do you find 'em ... nearly as bad/good as Rory at finding 'interesting things'

looks like you may have enough timber to keep you busy for some time
