  1. Don't need one, got a crane.
  2. I can chip into it with pretty much anything, TW 150, bandit 150, and anything in between.
  3. Yup..
  4. 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
  5. I bought a Farma G2 grapple and made up a bracket to fit my machine
  6. 4.2x2.4 internal, plenty of room, especially if you crunch it up with the grapple a bit. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. Not quite finished painting it yet. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. No idea, won't be much heavier than the old flat body though
  9. Need to get a pic of it with the sides on still Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. Minuteman press.
  11. 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
  12. I have large amounts of processor friendly Poplar timber for sale, either to collect from site or delivered in locally. Please pm or phone 07875 386674 for pricing and availability. Minimum quantity for delivery 10 tonnes, collection for trade customers only.
  13. Husqvarna axe 2400g. Mine has done a fair bit of wedge driving recently. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. 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......

  15. Worked for me.
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. Stags horn sumach Rhus typhinia Some people can react badly to the hairs on stems and leaves btw. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  19. 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.
  20. I would try NJ Aluminium for the tool box.
  21. The only way to know for sure is to weigh the machine. What are you towing with? Can you put the buckets etc in the towing vehicle? Bateson trailers are excellent, used to work a few miles from the factory and ran about 5 Bateson trailers. They do make a model with a longer draw bar anyway,but if you wanted one with a bucket rest they will make you one, they make a lot of custom trailers. Alternatively with a shorter drawbar could you load the machine facing the ramps and put the boom between the ramps?
  22. I use a stiff plastic bristled brush and a combi spanner on site, save the compressed air cleaning for the workshop. Alternatively have you looked at aerosols of compressed air?
  23. Oh sure, it's great for getting you out to work when your feeling grotty. Just don't try to buy too much in one go because you might get a dawn raid from the narcotics police. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  24. You can get into trouble buying that stuff in bulk....... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  25. Here ya go. Master Link - Chain Components - Lifting Chains
