I think he means with a chainsaw.

Just the chipbox or a Pro Tipper with high sides? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

In theory yes, however it is cheaper to trade a flatbed trailer in for a tipper. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Or merc 614 if you can find one Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Iveco 65c or 52c would be your best best. 65 are fairly common (6.5 tonne) 52 is the same thing plated at 5.2 tonne. Problem with downplating your 7.5 tonner is you will lose most of your payload. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Why don't you do the C1+E test and then you can drive up to 12 tonnes train. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Stihl combi can please.

Hi, honest opinion, I wouldnt be without mine now. You get about 2m3 with high sides on, I find thats enough for a decent sized reduction or a smallish takedown. The other advantage to a smaller chip truck is its easier to give away small loads local to where your working, especially if you have 4x4 to get into the paddock. Plus you can still chip into the trailer and put logs in the pickup on bigger jobs. (Or the other way round) How much does your TT85 hold in cubic metres?

You can put a standard forestry grab and rotator on a digger, you will need a bracket made up to suit your digger, and a variable damping on the link would be handy to stop it swinging around too much. You can buy fancy grabs designed specifically for excavators, but they can be very expensive.

Willow, poplar and conifer. All the "good stuff" gets sold on.

Help. Need some timber moving this weekend. Norfolk.
Peter replied to shendy's topic in General chat
Would have been up for it, sadly working all weekend already. Might be able to do it Monday if thats any good? -
Just proves my point really, not much to choose between them all, and if you ask enough people you will get every opinion about every trailer.....
-
I'd be more inclined to take those kind of comments seriously if it were possible to point out the differences in design that make one trailer rubbish and one the best ever. They are built the same way using similar materials, how can there be so much difference between them?
-
You could try recreating this.
-
That depends whether you want to use it or sell it on..... Not had a look at the new ifor tippers tbh.
-
Personally nothing to choose between Ifor, Brian, and Bateson in terms of build quality and robustness, comes down to which has the features you want and price.

I dont need one either, in fact I may not need two.

New sawmill coming next month - need to sort out towing issues
Peter replied to Big J's topic in Milling Forum
Mines towed at least 3.5 tonnes, off the public highway obviously....... -
I could do them for you if you can't find anyone more local.

FWIW even if you could fold the mill in half you still couldnt tow it with the Nav, its too wide. -

Caravan forum is FOS, so much wrong I dont even know where to start. Second link is very interesting though, still limited to a 7 metre trailer on a 5th wheel setup if the towing vehicle is 3500kg or smaller. -

Have you got some quotes for haulage? The amount of money you're thinking of spending on a tow vehicle would go a long way in paying someone else to move it, and you wont have the headache of running another vehicle. -
No flippancy intended, more of a comment on the standard of service expected of commercial motor dealers. The reply I would expect to get to such a claim would be along the lines of harsh winter road conditions, salt spray, not getting washed off properly, left standing for long periods etc etc long story short its not our fault we're not paying.

3 year warranty on brakes? Good luck with that, about as much chance as a 3 year warranty on tyres. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
