Dave, you know I'm pretty much anti MEWP. You know me, you've seen my pics, you know I am not one for doing jobs inefficiently. If I can smash it flat with the excavator and ram it through a big chipper, I will. If its the dodgiest deadest rottenest tree barely standing, I'll climb it. Ergo, If I think a mewp is going to save me time, effort and money on a job, I'm not going to be hiring one for a laugh... I have used one in the past for accessing trees growing out of a cliff face. They are also very usefull for jobs where you have a physical impediment stopping you getting to the base of trees.
-
Does that mean we are exempt as an owner, but an employee is'nt?
-
No quite true. No lack of skill on my part, but I use the JLG type on rare occasions. Very usefull when crown raising long lines of trees along a road for instance.

I am not saying this chipper is stolen - but someone has taken the time to paint a fairly newish bright orange chipper dark green - And its pretty cheap too. LAMBARDINI 7" FEED DIESEL WOODCHIPPER on eBay (end time 09-Nov-09 15:54:33 GMT)

No mate, I am very Knowledgable, and have a good idea of engineering and mechanics, but skilled I'm not. Compared to you I am a fumbling bodger.
-
great Vid.
-
Dean, absolute quality job. I would be happy to entrust anything mechanical to your tender care. Your skills as a fitter are underutilised!

Hello Jerry, good to see you here:thumbup1:

Nope. Both Dennis and Chris have Bandit 280XP chippers. Chris also had an 1850, Rocheford landscapes old machine, he bought a new crane for it off my mate. But Tracked Bandit beast they do not have - Only 2 in country. Griffiths pallets in swansea have a 525hp 3680(I bought Gavins shagged Tubgrinder), and Tree Contractors in Wrexham have a 1000hp 4680. I say have, as far as I know its been repossesed 3 times...
-
Then your either Gavin Griffiths or James Rigby - as they are the only 2 in the country. Given your location, I'm guessing the former, but having met Gavin, you dont seem familiar? And unless your running a Knife system, a Beast is pretty poor on big wood. I know this as I used to own one.

Could well do...
-
I will have a couple of 8 wheeler loads of Beech coming up. Also several hundred tonnes of mixed birch and pine.
-
Hahaha, they've been saying that since I first met them.
-
Who cares... Wide angle lens I think - sure makes a fantastic pic.
-
Nationwide.

Nice work Dave. Ditto shrekie on the B&Q saw and ladder. Good kit is fine, but a good cutter is priceless.
-
The posch machine is a DIRECT copy on the fuelwood machine. Posch bought one and took it to their factory to copy. I think that Fuelwood are to expensive, but it is a cracking machine

Hi Suzy, welcome to arbtalk. What part of the country are you in? this can make quite a diffrence to the outcome.

Very slow. And he's a dead man walking sat in front of that bar and chain. WHen that snaps, its going to shred him.

Not Scared. No Scars.

Very nice operation there BigBolt.
-
Mine recently had to be put to sleep. I have a large black naughty lurcher shaped hole in my life.
-
Every experience I've had of selling off ebay to forgien bidders has been a nightmare. Nice dog pic. Lurcher or Greyhound?
-
What volume of logs?
-
Then buy a kindlet. The original and still the best.
