You can get a lot of work done with a 3t whilst waiting for the low loader to turn up with the 8t on site! But once you have the transport nailed as you do, there's no comparison. I fooled myself that running a 3 tonner like a 5 tonner was efficient - and on shorter duration work it is kind of... But over a week the 5 will shift more and for less effort.
On the subject of fuel, I found Kubota's U50-5 to be less fuel efficient that JCB's 85z! I've had an 85z on two jobs now and both times its been remarkably good on red Sorry! white diesel
The 3cx drinks whatever you can serve it as quickly as you can pour it in. Lets put it this way, its an expensive way to make coffee

How did you know it was his?You mean give it some abuse.
It'll look good with a tb175 on a trailer behind it
I'm not worried he promised me he'd polish it every night.

One hour of mini digger work is equal to two man days on this job and in this heat. Now off for lunch whilst we let the fire burn down enough that we can stack and leave it

It’s all good cordage when you’re selling. I’ve managed to sell shuttering timber as firewood before now.

Looks like a lovely job, access for a digger, space to fell, burn up on site! Lucky sods

I've noticed, not jealous at all
Meanwhile I seem to get all the jobs where my knees are scrapping the alleyway on both sides as I drive the micro digger in

2 jobs I've been doing over summer, the first with the Case is 6ft high and stonefaced on both sides (customers don't want to fence to keep sheep in!) so was a fair old job in the end. The second I've got to go back next year and rebuild the other side.
