thanks for the advice steve , i think it will be a while before i buy a timber trailer but thought i would get looking for what i will be wanting .

if you still have staff and a pick up then use the mog as a chip truck and the van for timber and sweepings.

yeh i think that will be the answer for now , we have been using the mog to carry timber in the chip box which works well as long as your 9ft6 lol

definately get a good winch for the mog, it is a must mate. once you see where you can get a mog in and then pull things over and out, you will see why so many guys use them, and for self rescue, dont be fooled into thinking mogs will go anywhere lol. once you get a chipper then loading is so much easier, just stand on the linkage and chipper(not running obviously) turn that chip box round and get a hole cut out the back for blasting chip into, and get a roof too, for rear chipping it makes a huge diference, that one of yours is too high imo, i would get it reduced to the height of the cab and put an angled roof on it, going to approx 18" higher at the back.

thanks steve , we have been thinking of changing the chip box but still cant work out weather to get a reversing plate for the front pto and front mount a chipper or not .

atkinson do a high lift kit and reverser for a tp250 like mine, i have an extension spout aswell if you need one. on the front is great, but i would get used to the kit first, it is an option, thats the beauty of mogs, so many diferent ways of working with them
