Steering lock on a JD6155 is terrible ,imo you'd be better of with a £6k 2140.
Use a lot less fuel and nice and light.

Actually on a 6r150 uses no fuel at all.

Do you find the 150 a lot more economical than the 155 ?

All business need to invest and move foward, otherwise we'd all still be threshing grain with a flail. I run a tracked machine because I think it's the cheapest and most efficient machine for the fencelines I encounter, it was a big investment, but a reasonably up to date 150 horse tractor and an equivalent post driver would be similar money, and limit me by being too big to get to a lot of jobs. It's a good bit cheaper to fence with my machine than fence by hand @ £25 ish/hr.

£25 ish/hr x10 is £250 day.
100m one man £2.50 a meter.

Yeah I noticed, I wish I could see a fence line that 1 man can take down and put back up 100 meters in 10 hours by hand, I'm sure there is good going ground out there but it's rare up in these hills.

A lot of people round here use a six ton excavator with a vibrating knocker attached.

Being nosey, what sort of money is a tracked post knocker?

Being nosey, what sort of money is a tracked post knocker?

Mine was around £70k, you can spend alot more than that though.

 

[tepapa]

Being nosey, what sort of money is a tracked post knocker?

New £35-95k
All depends on what options you tick on the spec sheet.

Second hand you'd expect to find something older and basic starting around £15k+

Big old lump in someones garden though.

That'll be some weird spec then. Netting and barb be £1/m so that leaves £1.50/m for posts so your not going to get any quality at that price

Just bought materials for 200m inc wooden strainers and 1 gate (clipex posts). Think it works out as £5 ish per m, self installed.
