New toy day

Yes Rock machinery 14 ton Venom. It is fully assembled now and I'm impressed with it. Seems basic and capable, came with a 4 way split head as well as a 2 way head. Couple of issues but Rock are sorting them.
I’m trying to decide what to get . I could do with a pto driven one so that I can run it off my old tractor and not need to take it on and off . Have been looking at kentec hydraulic one too I like the idea of having a table on it .

I cut 50/60 cm rounds as my central heating burner will eat those so don't really need a table. For shorter stuff I just put a short round in there as a makeshift table.

Vaderstad Swift came on demo. Decided to keep it. Simple but effective bit of kit.

I finally get a go on this thread!

Virtually the last New AWD 2L pure diesel 190PS Kuga for sale, only 2 left now on autotrader, really sorry to see the Edge go after 70K faultless miles, but this was the last chance to get this spec, so should see me through another 6 years without hassle.
Interestingly they have been in demand from caravaners as the last AWD kugas made and with a big diesel engine, why AWD has disappeared with electric and hybrid i didnt find out.

Why not full doors? I don't see point of them really if your going to have them open seat gets wet and everything inside like a wind tunnel heater would be a waste of time and dog could jump out
Doesn't rain down here in the sunny south west ;). Didn't see the point really, it'll only steam up and I won't see anything, probably take the drivers door off to be honest but they will keep the mud off in the winter months. (no heater, tried to limit extras to a certain extent, no doors, no need for a heater (y))

Yea suppose you won't get frozen windscreen either. Think it might not be exactly legal to drive down road with a frozen windscreen with my head out of side window

You’re still digging then …. How do you know what I’m using it for or where I’m driving it ??
I thought I’d politely explained but just to clarify, I DIDN’T F@@KING WANT FULL DOORS !!!!!
I know I’m new to this forum by why are a small minority constantly looking for a scrap - ridiculous !!!!!!!

Since you don't have doors I assume you don't have side windows. Since your in the sunny south west and I'm in Yorkshire i don't think there's much chance of me sticking MY head out of your not existent side window
