Just getting one would be a start for me. A mog and a G wagon at the same time is just a dream and to have more than one of each, well that's just greedy! ::)

i thought afterwords that somebody might reply with that  :D ;D the simple answer is, you suggest the correct figure and we might say yes ;)

Another way of looking at it is that if you say the correct figure, I might say yes....

I went down to Devon to pick the bench up on Saturday. Good old highways agency had closed one section of the M5 and diverted it through Taunton. That turned a 2hr20 run into a 3hr30 one and I wasn't too pleased. Then when I got to the town the fella's address was at I rang him and it turned out he was 7 miles back up the road I'd just driven down! On top of all that I was up the night before throwing up with some weird stomach bug. I'd already let the guy down once though and wasn't going to let it happen a second time. I was going no matter what and all in all it was a right ball ache of a trip!

On a positive note it's a great piece of kit. My little Kubota lifts and runs it easily and it's only a little 2cyl 12.5hp diesel. I recon a mog would turn it all day long just ticking over. I cut up a dozen or so barrows of wood with it today because I couldn't wait until the weekend to try it out. It's so comfortable compared to a chainsaw, you barely know you're working at all and it even puts the old bench to shame!

I was going to take some today but it started snowing and I decided running to the comfort of my nice sofa in front of the wood burner was more appealing! I'll probably have it out again on the weekend so I'll take some then. Maybe even a short video too.

I did put through some logs that made the tractor grumble a bit. It's fine up to around 8" but any more than that and it drags the revs right down. Not surprising though really when you see how much faster the blade eats through them than a chainsaw can - It beats my MS660 by a mile and that thing's a beast!

You need one casto, trust me! On a mog it would cut stuff a foot round with no trouble.

Lol don't tempt me njc  :D I'm guessing the 660 is on a 20+ inch bar? Funny enough i mentioned the saw bench to a lad to as i was using a chop saw to cut 5x3 posts  :P
