I think greenmech used to be rubbish. latest ones I've seen working are certainly better than TW. fit and finish is vastly improved too.
-
Really nice unit Matt. Ive been looking at something similar. I want the same thing as yourself - 3.5t gross, 4x4, easily maintained, and adaptable.
-
No. sheared timber is no good for planking, as the compression goes quite a way in.
-
Im not doubting your word andy, I'm sure it happened as you said. I'm just convinced it was'nt a model 90. A model 60 or 65 would be most likely.

Check back through this thread, you'll see how soppy mine is. He's the one wearing the tie.

That must have been enjoyable working on those beauties Tim. Cant see the supercarry anywhere though

Hey Steve, how come it has Gibson on the side? I thought you were hansen...? Nice truck though. I am thinking about importing something like that.

Nice arbdog pics. Arborist, I like the second from the left spaniel. Hal, our red setter is like Sam - very protective but soppy as soap. Hey squish, is that a golden canuckadork?

Gangmaster Licencing in Forestry
Mr Ed replied to Quickthorn's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Wow. That made me froth at the mouth I got so angry. So another piece of legislation and paperwork to add to your books, and a minimum fee of £400 for your licence, and £1600 for your test. what a load of $hit. -
yup, that gave me a laugh, and some tea went up my nose.

Dymax shears. http://www.dymaxattachments.com/attachments/catalog/index.html Check out their 20" model.

got a link?

Cold should have done them in. just in case, give it a good coating of that wasp killing expanding foam. You sneak up on the nest, and blast it with the foam, coating the whole nest. it seals the wasps in, and the insecticide kills them.

thats a sophisticated looking stove.

Mine came from a rogue in Cumbria... Having said that, If someone offered me a tidy example for the right money, I would'nt say no. Unimogs are a bit like Landrovers in that respect.
-
I enjoy doubling up with another climber. When I was working in Sweden, we once had 5 of us working 1 tree.
-
And the combine engine has the right pump settings, unlike truck engines I've seen in mogs. Your matador might be 1942, but would you want to use it as a daily driver? Its often not the engine or major components on mogs that give trouble, its the hundreds of little worn out parts that keep going that drives you to distraction. (I speak from experience)

Nice pics matty. Liked the pics of the hornbeam and the lime, shows what we have to do sometimes. As long as the tree is maintained whats the harm? Personally, I find it more paletable than felling it and planting a sapling.
-
Yeah, I flippin hate landrovers, especially after having 127 crewcabs for line work that were always falling apart. But its like a bug, you always hanker after one, no matter how good the latest jap offering is.
-
Hey Matt, everytime I see your truck, I get this irrational urge to get another 130. I know I shouldent, as I used to have 4 of the barsteward things, but i'm strangely compelled....
-
I have always roofed my chip trucks, it saves loads of cleaning up. I hate it when the chip builds a ramp and then blows over the cab, nice sticky sap laden chip dust ruining my paintwork... no thanks. And ally is nice, but 2mm folded steel is stronger, cheaper and paints easily.
-
Blimey, 1979? no matter which way you look at it, thats an old truck to put to work (read loads of problems). + its not really powerfull enough. Whats your budget?
-
I know that at one of the shows, Bandit were told they could'nt demo any of their machines because they did not meet the safety guidelines.

Which loads of British tree surgeons (myself included) did in the 80's and 90's.
