  1. Here goes....!
  2. I need to mix them up really well... This might work
  3. I've enlisted a friend with a big hat.
  4. OK, time to draw. My goodness, there's a lot of names...
  5. Er, no pollarding. Ok, his is not done properly, but its achieving the same thing.
  6. Need a big dart board... Going to need a giant hat too!
  7. it'll be a piece of A4 paper with some names scribbled on.
  8. Tree looks great. Has a Tolkienesque look to it. Take a trip round europe and see millions of trees managed in the same way. lets face it,If there was a different owner, or if a TPO had been in place, and an arbo had come along in the past 20 years, that tree would have been felled.
  9. going to draw tonight.
  10. to light. 25 tonne is better.
  11. Sorry Dean, but I've owned both, and duals beat singles, both off and on road. We had an old MK with singles, it was ok, but the 4x4 merc with duals was noticably better, especially in the squishy stuff. Unimogs are to small to be carrying serious weight.
  12. With a heavy load on board, single tyres will flex nastily, giving 'interesting' handleing.
  13. If you like your TW, and you get good service, Get a tracked timberwolf. Not keen on them myself, but there's a lot of happy users out there, and its the service and backup that really counts.
  14. Maybe, but single rear wheel is crap for carrying weight.
  15. Jensen have a good build quality, but there not cheap. The high euro is killing the price of european machines in this country.
  16. 8 inch jensen 430 is a well built machine, the newer greenmechs are very good also. what are you currently using?
  17. I dislike people being critical, unless you have had actual direct experiance with a machine. Likewise, I dont like people who say that machine blah blah is the best in the world, with having used any others. What size machine are you looking for?
  18. Thats a pretty good price... Your only chance of cheaper would be to get a good second hand one.
  19. Wants a dual wheel rear axle. Wonder how much?
  20. And the fountains one you nicked...
  21. You mean MAN?
  22. Unless you get the 6.5 tonner with the difflock...
  23. Man, memory like a damn sieve. No one won, because I never did a draw! Drawing tomorrow evening....
  24. Yers... Remember I mentioned a UK equipment supplier....? Also, the bandit stumpgrinder is a poor copy of the old manual swing vermeers, and there are some much better austrailian copy's.
  25. Darin, its hard to get perspective, but occasionaly you'll hop out the machine to move a little branch or drag something a little closer. Thats when you realise how heavy and awkward the stuff is. No way would any amount of men keep up with that machine, as it pulls out all the heavy timber aswell, and crushes up any reluctant forks. Lee, that woodsman is a hire machine from Beaver palnt -http://beaverplant.co.uk/uk/shop/products/details/default.asp?display=details&id=3489 It was supplied by liston equipment. In all honesty it was a piece of **** compared to the same sized Conehead chipper - infeed was very poor, and the chips could barely discharge out the end of the chute. I'm going to bring another big conehead into the UK. The 565 conehead was a much better machine.
