No idea on the age, but it's getting on a bit! Still runs perfectly though and I don't use it that often so it should last me a while yet.

If you were a bit closer I'd have already been knocking on your door wanting a days work running your kit. I'd happily labour for the day for nothing just to get the experience.

The only time I've seen a mog doing this kind of work was at a job I was doing about ten years ago. A local company turned up with what I think was a U1600 with a huge chipper on the back. They cut down a skinny 30-40 foot conifer, manhandled it into the chipper butt end first with about half a dozen blokes and then stood back as it munched the whole untrimmed thing straight through and fired it in the back. The no-stress was working overtime at first but it only took maybe two or three minutes for it to deal with the task. All in the job took about fifteen minutes from fell to jumping in the trucks and leaving. I've wanted one ever since!
