The last time i was in a rascal(van type) there was 6 of us in it, those of us in the back thought it would be a great laugh to swing side to side and scare my mate whitless, trouble was, it did, and tipped the van on its side at 50mph! Now that was a night out! We all clambered out, rolled it back on its wheels and carried on. Never been in one since!

I used to do maintenance for our local Mitsu dealer, they had one on the forecourt for over 18 months. When it dissapeared the dealer principal told me they never sold a single one!

The latest shape ones start around £14k new list, will tow 2.7 tons but only carry 900kg max Dare say the motor will last forever though.

:thumbup1:Thats the one i was looking at:thumbup1: At £6K i dont think any `04 landy will be around long
-
If its the one at Lix Toll, i think you might find its nearer £15,000:blushing: Already looked at it:sneaky2:

Nice for the money, is a tipper too?

He does state in the very first post its stihl chain.

Even modded ones Bob?

Ok, i have tried in the past to try and drum up interest in chain sharpening with limited success, but thought anyone who is struggling with the basics might find this helpful. Please note this is the Stihl version, and everyone has slight differences in opinion, but there are some useful bits of advice on here; http://www.stihllibrary.com/pdf/SharpAdvice061301final.pdf You may want to increase size to 100% for easier reading.

My bad here, i just assumed the 341 had 3/8 fitted standard, but you are correct, i believe they were also available with .325!

Soap flakes is real good and not harmful. If they dont work, the Beal rope cleaner is said to be great. Either way, dont go over 40deg C. If you put it in the washer, rope wash bag is best, but a pair of your grannys tights is ok, or a pillow case. This stops knotting.

Here you go tuppy, 3/16 file for this; Oregon takes a larger file, hence; Very curious as to how you've been sharpening until now though:sneaky2:

What is this foreign tongue you all speak:001_tt2:

Big can of worms this one, unfortunately a very big part of our job. Its very hard finding facts, unless you are unfortunate enough to be in the situation of having an accident, then you have a strong chance of being jumped on!
-
Come on boys and girls, tryin to send a PM to someone with a full box is a pain! I'll name and shame the latest; FRANK:001_tt2: Feel free to list further culprits!
-
Yes you are correct Chris, but with say a truck with a MAN of 2000kgs, its perfectly legal for a post '97 license holder to tow a chipper weighing 1200kgs.
-
Lol! I feel like going to bed now and facing the Wrath of Kahn in the morning:001_huh:
-
Seems he's not on his own though Jonny
-
Not meaning to derail, but as ive found out recntly, thats not entirely true. You can tow more so long as the trailer is not capable of carrying a load that combined with the towing vehicle, does not exceed 3500kgs. Here we go:001_rolleyes:

Sounds like you must have forgotten Ed. Back in the proclimber forum days i remember you comparing a list of various chippers to the equivelant car. At that time the greenmech was a skoda. You remember it now, it probably was about 5 years ago:sneaky2:
-
A bit like Skoda then Ed, remember that one?
-
Mmmmm, think i know the one you mean, the one with a long coni hedge on drive side:001_huh: Didnt realise he turned out bad, he certainly talked a good job!

Perhaps you can let me know a few more of these short cuts, might save me any more hassle:001_rolleyes:
