What vehicle and gear did you start off with?

[treesnatcher]

a knackered old freelander and a 7ft by12 ft trailer made out of an old caravan.

We used to have some good bonfires. Then bought an old jenson 6" road tow and talked anyone i could into keeping the chippings. Then a yr later bought an ex council 6 year old citroen relay crewcab caged tipper. :001_smile:

yellow ford escourt van about 12 years old

McCulloch chainsaw/ no name mower and a strimmer that could be changed into a hedge cutter- Oh and a rake

Enjoyed it but boy did I work some stupid long hours in the summer

A series 2A land rover that was as old as me (20) and a huge cage sided trailer that I built myself, an 020T and an 076

 

That was 27 years ago, I have a newer chainsaw and a better trailer now.

I had an old beat up L200 but quickly changed for.a.tatty old.cabstar. I recon your best off running cheap tippers into the ground and spending your money on a good chipper. Vehicles are nothing but money pits, but a good chipper holds its money and is relatively trouble free.
