110/130 weight carrying ability

[Matthew Storrs]

I think there was a thread about this before, there was lots of issues around height of feed tray, and dragging all that weight on the bed around for quoting etc. Necessitating yet another vehicle.

It was an interesting idea, but creates as many problems (if not more) than it solves.

 

Yes, I can see loading height being an issue if it was just sat on the pick up bed, but I bet it someone thought it was worth it, it could be done. My initial thought was remove rear tub of a hi cap Landy, reposition the fuel tank and sit a timber wolf in between the chassis rails, with the hopper pretty much sitting on the rear crossmember, could have the chipper mounted on a pivot with a ram up the front to tilt the hopper bed towards the floor abut more.

Problem with this is you'd have to unhitched the trailer to chip in to it...

Or you could just buy a chip truck and chipper.....

Killjoy!

Can you run a Landy cherry picker on red ?

[Mick Dempsey]

No offence Matty, but why is everyone do obsessed with red diesel? It's cheaper fo'sho' but would it make the difference between you buying a LR picker or not?

[Mark Bolam]

Of course you can Matty.
