tidy!
we've been using one of those shape mitsi's - suprisingly capable off road - it towed a tracked chipper on trailer through some boggy mud quite easily. i was prepared to get stuck and use the chipper to pull it out.

I had herd they were pretty good offroad i dont think mine will be going offroad properly but its nice to no you can.

I found those pretty good on the slippy stuff, I think it's the traction control, they don't wheelspin unless all four wheels loose traction.

After 2 years my chip box finally gave in. The bolts holding a corner pulled through the ply eventually and it was shifting around a bit. Still held on but all the front wasnt in good shape.

It was on the way to site too this morning. Just what I needed!

Tipped it off the truck and it fell into a heap. Most of it was rotten so looks like ill be building a new one.

Managed to scrounge some boards whilst on site. Including a white board which doubles up as a notice board and headboard for chip too.

Chip box had a bit of a tidy up. Tidied off the rough edges and have it a bath in creocote. Pleased with the results.

Signs within the next few weeks

Used my pickup in anger for the first time today, towing a nice trailer load wood. Seriously impressed by the engine, powered through the gears despite nearly 3t on the back.
