  1. I find a few rounds from one of these discourages unwelcome attention.

    As ever Tom, good vid, EXCELLENT tune
  3. Really? I'd say the little 20hp eager beaver morbark was in production 20 years before the Jobeau, and in the UK I'd call the Exenco the 'original' small drum chipper. Prior to that, the first Asplundh whisper chippers (small drum chippers) came on the market in the 60's. The JoBeau is a nice piece of kit though. How much is the new 20hp version?
  4. Those are the Casio GZone, been out in the states for a while now, I've been waiting for them to appear in the UK. Excellent rugged phone by all acounts.
  5. Thought so, you see them in french rental shops, and a lot of french arborists use them. Usually have a 'brouyer' sticker on them.
  6. We left Belfast in late '79. One of my earliest memories is my Father walking me down the Falls road past squaddies with HUGE fal's. Fired one out in aussie a good few years later, proper bang stick!
  7. YES. I always have a cup of tea in the morning to warm me up

    Who said I was guarenteeing it from a picture? 10 years of using buckingham harnesses is what I'm basing my assumption on.
  9. Pete, is that GMR built in france? I'm sure i've seen them before over there.
  10. I would have an Alfa like a shot. I am thinking about buying a 156 JTD, as you can pick them up for a song, but they look the dogs and go like stinkerooo
  11. I've had no real problems with my N95, apart from the software regularly crashing. Its stood up pretty well to my abusive ownership, as its about my 40th phone so far. They just seem to disintegrate under the pressure most of the time... The best I've ever had was a siemens phone built for mountain bikers and canoeists. That had a rubber and steel case, and was unbelievably tough, even withstanding getting tracked over by a 13 tonne excavator. The battery completly died on it in the end, and siemens had stopped making them.

    Having climbed in a Buckingham harness for years, I'd definately buy one. I can guarentee that it will be much better made than the Treemotion. (but probably heavier!)
  13. Good... but try a Jo Beau aswell.

    Poles

    The AUS utility fibreglass poles are the best. Very strong and lightweight, clip together to give you nearly 30ft reach. Any linework contractor will know what I'm talking about. New ones are expensive, but its quite feasible to get 'failed' ones cheap out of line clearance contractors as the testing is very rigorous, and the slightest pinhead defect or scratch is a fail.
  17. Im waiting for the quote.
  18. By the way, that video of the Bilke is not the machine I'm talking about...
  19. At the moment, its available with a pto drive, electric motor and a little honda engined version. I'd like to drive it with a hydraulic planetary drive. As for the drum chipper, yes its built, it works fantastically, but I cant afford to put it into production just yet.
  20. Only pics so far.
  21. It would seem so. Basicly, your 'infeed rollers' would do all the processing. For me, I LOVE the simplicity of it.
  22. Found a diagram of how it works
  23. I was thinking exactly the same thing myself...
  24. Tim, as ever, I shall give your opinion the same attention as always. Zilch. Lighten up dude, it was an interesting product I'm thinking of buying for my own use, and thought it might make an interesting thread. given that were already into 3 pages, I'd say other folks have a tad more enthusiasm for interesting new machines.
  25. It is'nt. but it would'nt be hard to run it through a screen.
