Iv only put one tyre on it in 6 years, that was £300 I think. Tax is £650 a year. Inspections every 6 weeks cost me about £70. Mot is about £100. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I'll get one tomorrow. Find the cross members under the floor, and weld some box section in where the cross members meet the side runners.

Nice one, just put some high sides on and take her to work.

You know your customer base Hodge, but I do mostly domestic work and it gets up lots of driveways. On the rare occasion it won't fit on a drive, that's where the mini loader comes into it's own, slightly longer drag to get to roadside, no problem. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

It's far from finished, needs a little bit of bracing, a tree pusher on the top and a proper heel at the bottom of the mounting plate before I paint it. Having said that it's pretty strong as it is. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I debated that one for ages, in the end I went with 1 piece sides because they are easier to remove and replace, and I don't need a standard drop side body, it's either a flat with bolsters or a big chip box. I mostly tip to the passenger side, which is almost completely tool lockers so they hold the chip back, then once it's tipped I lock the steering over and reverse out. I never tip logs, everything is in lengths and unloaded with the crane. How exactly would a tail lift work with a rear mount crane stephen? Or do you mean transport it on the lift like you used to with your GM chipper? It's impracticable for towing a trailer and would just add unnecessary weight. I do have a divider to make a space at the front of the chip box where the mini loader goes, even with that on I still have 16 cubic metre capacity.

Don't need one, got a crane.

I can chip into it with pretty much anything, TW 150, bandit 150, and anything in between.
-
Yup..
-
The sides lift out and the bolster sockets are in the floor of the chip body. I can have the bolsters in with the chip sides on, handy if you have a mixed load. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I bought a Farma G2 grapple and made up a bracket to fit my machine

4.2x2.4 internal, plenty of room, especially if you crunch it up with the grapple a bit. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Not quite finished painting it yet. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

No idea, won't be much heavier than the old flat body though

Need to get a pic of it with the sides on still Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Minuteman press.

That's quite a remarkable statement, market research and product development is the responsibility of the manufacturer? Numerous brands have failed to evolve and fallen by the wayside as a result. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Options are: Fit 24 v bulbs to trailer Fit voltage dropper to lorry, not that simple btw. You can fit led lights/ bulbs and most of them do work at 12 or 24 v but whatever you do you need a visual or audible indicator in the cab to tell you the trailers there when you use the indicators. That is a problem with the leds because they draw so little current they often don't trigger the warning light, so you have to fit a resistor, which are either 12 or 24 volt......

Worked for me.

Bad do Pete, glad no one was hurt though. Did you get pics? Crash for cash tend to be low value cars, low speed impacts, but when the claim comes in there are 5 people with whiplash and ££££s of damage to their car etc. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Nice to have you back Tommer. I have an iPad mini in an otter box, very happy with it, goes out in the work truck every day.

Have you ever worked in the UK John? The point is that it doesn't happen here, chipper fatalities seem fairly regular in the US, but to my knowledge there haven't been any in the UK. Care to prove me wrong? On the wider point of lone working, all work activity must be risk assessed, and anyone sending a lone operator out with a machine capable of eating them alive would in breach of health and safety legislation. Hand feeding large chippers is frowned upon full stop actually.
