    Shame you took that off Ben, think you were in line for a good ribbing! There will be someone on here able to id it for you, must be worth a few quid if you can get it going just as a collection piece.

    Dont mean to sound clever, but what have you tried in the way of getting work? By the sound of it you have a bit of kit now, have you done much local advertising, yellow pages, village mags, posters in shops, even flyposting? Is "Joing forces" such a bad thing if you only do it on a day or two a week basis, could keep you going a while longer? Dont give up mate, i think you would regret it.

    I might have a bit of rocking horse poo, but it could be a little far for you to travel Rob, its upto you. I think there is about 3 tons of it, been cut in logs over a year now, perhaps not as big or good quality as you are after but if you want, PM me. Its in HU16 if you want to check mileage. Cheers, Pete.

    Really nice shot David, it reminds me of when i worked on a large estate similar to yours 20 years ago. The trouble is, i still cant stop eyeing up that lovely dead wood for my own fire:sneaky2:

    Yes, but you will reach max gross weight (3500kgs) with either chip box, only slight difference in kerb weight between the two, but a much more usable truck in the dbl cab, and loose a couple of wheel barrow loads of capacity in the back

    Just had another look at the 130 on t-bay, and there is only one pic of the truck he is selling, all other pics are of newer/higher spec trucks:sneaky2: Sneaky:mad1:

    Cant see why you would want a bigger chip box than the one of Eds, unless you intended overloading it:sneaky2: The one you are looking at is 3 years older than Eds too:sad:

    Your best man on this is PeteB. Sure he will offer any advice and parts needed.

    So are you saying the workplace was the training and you just put them in for the assessment when a relivant tree job came up Bob?
  12. 18 stoner
    Ok, number 2 for me, just an unusual Sycky at a regular customers;
  13. 18 stoner
    Sorry for the derail Bob:blushing:

    Problem seems to be, the trainers want a minimum of 4 students on the course to make it viable. They then need a couple of trees each to carry out training, then at least one more each to do the assessment. Suddenly you need a minimum of 12 trees to carry out the the ticket, within a set area for such training center. Not many centers can offer such high numbers of "difficult" trees.

    I really fancied a pair but just realised i dipped out, only go to size 11. Shame, i think the colour would have suited me!
  16. 18 stoner
    Would be a nice one to do david, perhaps lack of places is to do with a limited amount of trees available to do the assessment on.
  17. 18 stoner
    Well i will say thanks Bob, for this and all your other efforts keeping us upto date:001_cool:

    Think it would need outriggers to lift that though, adding to weight:sad:
  19. 18 stoner
    Tommy, you always seem to get a real nice colour on the carvings, it seems to bring out the true detail, just curious, what type of resevative and stain do you use?

    Just a thought Dave, to overcome the over loading issue, is it possible to mount the hiab in a rear corner? I realise it might be in the way from time to time, but if you no longer have it as a tipper, maybe not too bad. Main reason for rear mounting is you can also tow a trailer and load it with the hiab, therefore spreading a greater load between the two. Also better positioning for lifting logs off narrow drives etc.

    Sorry, just giggling too much, must have had more than enough wine:lol:

    This is a nice one;
  23. 18 stoner
    Mmmm! I still have a chuckle now and then:sneaky2:

    My Kleins stick around 1/2 an inch in the ground while stood up straight. Walking around a garden with all your kit on, on your tip-toes makes you look a real tart!

    Just sharpen the inside and rub off the burr from the outer sides that will do, but keep the angle correct or you could either stick in too tight or slip a lot!
