    I'm not a big fan of CAT to be honest.. The ones I've driven have been underpowered. I drove this little one for 6 weeks last year -

    Kobelco are the shit. I used to have an 11.5 tonner, with zero tail swing. Fantastic machine. Then I had a 14 tonne hitachi Zaxis with ultra short tail and short booms. That thing would turn 360 inside its own track width, and outlift a 20 tonner with long booms. This JCB has a standard tail...

    All my attachments will work on the automatic quickhitch. Quick connectors on the hydraulics will make changeover a 5 minute job. In time I'll buy a 14" shear and a mulcher head too.

    Cmon Stig- surely you feel a twinge of sentimentality over an old 038 Mag or a 254xp? Great saws should not be forgotten. Brevity and smelling errors courtesy of iPhone using Tapatalk

    Usually with truck nuts, only a 1inch high power gun will loosen them, but it is possible to use a torque multiplier on a smaller gun

    Nothing metric about inch pounds! Metric measurement of force is Newton meters.

    Quite common over here. a little time with a grinder, there easy enough to make. way faster than a conventional chain too. Pete, did you make that yourself, or did it come with the mill?

    MMM, lotsa posts. Ok, Carl, the terra will stall the mini, but not straight away. you can feel it blowing of pressure through a relief valve a bit, then it cuts out. I would NOT buy a terra if I wanted to competativly be a stump contractor. But If I was a small tree service, and already owned a...

    Depends. Not compared to a big purpose built grinder, But its a different application. It works better than I thought though. That stump was 2 foot across, and it took me about 35 minutes to grind out, for which I was paid a $100. if you already own a Miniskid, and you want to grind the...
