do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
you won't fault John Barnes .... known and dealt with him well over 30 years
'bout 8 miles from me ... he never buys crap and will almost always buy back when finished with, if you want out (assuming it's not been turned into a pile of crap of course)

I'd have an 8010 any day. Still love mine. The only thing that I've come to miss is the zts of what the e10 is. I work in many a tight spots as others do and it does make a difference.

Had a mate use an 8008 and said it was gutless hence why I'd prefer the 8010 as has more power zts or conventional isn't a major obstacle but zts is more versatile in the long run

One of the reasons i won't change tb108 is the fact kingpost slews 90 each way, what you lose with it having a bigger bum that 90 slew inside houses can more than make up for at times.

just looking at John's other stuff ... and totally off topic .. but .... interesting set up on the king post on this PC10 Kommie ... not a dear m/c either .. even on sticks

Would love a tak and would have 108 find the 216 far nicer to operate than the equivalent kubotas would hope a 108 is similar in the micro department

Generally people say things are gutless is because they expect a micro to work like a 3tonner.
I've had many an 8008 on hire and has always done as needed. Obviously not an 8010 but still not to be knocked

Yes, do your own research and form your own opinions.
Lots of people rave about certain models purely because they like the brand.
I'm a cat man but would I buy a cat micro? No. Although they ain't bad however they are wacker neuson. Again good but not for me
