    File it flat, if you find your nicking the tie straps as the chain wears down switch to a smaller file size.

    Not being funny but have you told them not to take logs from your wood? I know it's obvious to you but it may not be obvious to them. As for keeping pigs in I would have thought stock fencing would be the cheapest option.

    At $100 an hour I'd rather be dragging a 660 round in the bush than climbing.

    Any vehicle wrap company will be able to do it, just a question of finding the real tree material.

    The complete unit with head board and fold down aluminium sides is £2750 plus vat. The silver Navara is my truck, gets used for tree work on a daily basis.

    Peter replied to VEG's topic in Splicing Forum

    It's just a classification by fibre type. Generally the very high breaking strain fancy fibres aren't suitable for conventional splicing techniques so you use a different method.

    Yes, yes and the main reason I use them is they are one of the better ethical banks. Not sure if that is a benefit in everyone's eyes but its certainly a plus for me.

    Very well, said it before but it's easily the best 6" machine I have ever used. Not had the tracked version though

    Can you buy the power heads for the split shaft gear separately?

    Leave it as a trailer machine, you can always pick it up with the crane for transport if needed.

    Crane on the back, side tip chip box and towed chipper would be my ideal set up with that truck.

    The only land rover that would be worth while fitting a pro tipper to would be a hi-cap, but there are a few issues that need ironing out before I can start making them.

    From memory 3.75 cubic metres.
