How do you handle timber?

[Tom D]

Normally handballed, however where possible I'll take the little tractor.

love the tractor tom, any other pics of it, what make?

 

i have a roofmount and a hiab trailer, it is amazing where you can get them into when you need to, you see jobs in a whole different light after handballing for years:001_smile:

I'm very jealous of your roofmount, looks very handy. Mine's a BCS, about 50 horse, handy because it fits on a trailer behind the landy.

that tractor is cooler than a cool thing, i will keep it in mind for a job in the pipeline mate, how much did it cost you with the loader and grab mate

[Tom D]

I bought it new, for about 15.5k. Quite alot!! Its reverse drive btw. Still it has done some good work and powers the log splitter too, I'm thinking about getting a set of grass tyres and doing some mowing work with it if the treework goes slack.

its a lot of money, but you get what you pay for mate. if you ever want to sell it give me a shout:thumbup1:

own hiab with timber grab, if the timbers too far away stick a chain on it and drag it out!

Problem is with domestic work, it's nearly always inaccessible round the back of the house etc. We do very few where you could utilise a crane.

 

Same here most of our jobs have to be ringed up:sad:

 

Would like a 7.5 tonner with grab though for the roadside stuff:001_tt1:

I cut into four foot lengths and role them onto a trailer. Th equad bike can ge the trialer in and out of some odd places but it gets full too quickly!!
