Landy is 97 P reg. Mog widths can vary depending on what wheel rim offset you have fitted, our 1650 is 75mm narrower than my mates Transit 350 and same width as Land Rover Tipper

Ive been attracted to learning from you fellas over there, versus here in the ununited states. more heritage, and pride.

 

Im currently outfitting a U900, (406.121), for my (smaller scale) urban forestry applications. As you know, its a slim market in the US, so i have no arborist's to ask questions of.

 

i have a schmidt & agricultural plate, but im thinking of using a front power lift, from MB. so this is the first question, which is better for three point chipper mounting.

 

secondly, im building the chip bin on the back. i have an X frame, and the 74"x 74" bed w/ drop sides, etc. i think this is too small for my applications, plus i dont have a hiab between the cab and bed, so, i would prefer the larger bed.

 

Im looking at a pto reverser and a wallenstein bx62. this should be enough capacity for my operation. most of the larger wood is split and used for biofuel.

 

im in cincinnati, ohio. glad to come aboard.

we have to buy new and this seems better and more versatile and a damn site cheaper log grabs and bucket used daily and carries more chip
