[Dean Lofthouse]

Sorry, couldn't resist it.

 

 

Cool beans Mark

Big 4foot screw ex-mil ground anchors are the kiddies, maybe use 2 and spread the load. Check there are no undergraound services 1st!!

Wind her up on the starter handle (Ice cold in Alex style). It would give you a good excuse to stop in the pub on the way home and down a pint of Carlsberg

 

 

 

Ps dont let a woman hold the handbrake

Make sure you put it in at an angle facing away from what you are attaching to. l:

 

ha ha did you find out the hard way:001_rolleyes:

[mikecotterill]

I've got one of these

Very heavy all in but it rarely comes out except in very boggy areas or if your well stuck, not sure on price but I paid £50 for it.

ha ha did you find out the hard way:001_rolleyes:

What ever Dean does, do the opposite:sneaky2:. Arbtalk rule of thumb that 1:lol:

 

haha, so are you saying to put the boards on the roof rack and drive across under them, or to put the boards down and reverse over them??

 

i like the boards idea, when in place so the chipper dont move, befor un hitching, take the jocky wheel out and knock a short scaffold pole into the ground then use the clamp of the jocky wheel to hold it to it.

when i was working for a static caravan guy we used 1" 8x4s sawn length ways down the middle and used some blue poly prop as handles ! great as sites didnt like you tearing up there grass between vans ! lol

I use a 1.4m steel corkscrew I found on ebay for £50. It's a solid construction about an inch thick, the guy I bought it off had it specially made at great expense allegedly, to hold down hot air balloons Have winched some pretty hefty lumps around off of it.

[Big 'Ammer]

Boards, like Dean says.

 

Do you need a landy in there? Is it just to pull the chipper onto the site?

 

Tracked chipper job, maybe?
