batcher Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well been trimming on the same farm for 11 days now Still got my trimming buddy with the mf 6490 700 hrs on the clock not too fussed on havin a drive (only because of the trimmer controls) but might have a go after Christmas not really had much chance to take many pics Also must add i have been travelling to and from every day on my mxu about a 50 mile round trip cheaper than using the farm truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 what spearhead is it, i can see its an excel, is it a 600? what controls does it have as my 590 excel is easy to operate and im sure you would enjoy having a go driving it i think all trees should be chopped down along with lamp posts, signs etc would make flailing so much easier (nice job you were making also ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
