    I had a PTO version of this setup for crane feeding, awesome chipper and built solid. The trailed version might be different though

    or do the paperwork and the reduction yourself as I did ive been arb approved coming up 6 years, it has opened doors for some of the well paying work that we do now, for example the national trust near us will only use arb approved contractors.

    Removing a maccy today, felled the two front stems out and winched the larger back stem over with the fransgard winch on the valmet, all stacked and ready to chip with the heizohack by 2pm E8CD6E6F-ABA1-44C1-A815-2EFEB61DFB22.MP4

    The dealer support when I had mine was awful and as far as I’m aware it still is, the dealer was based in tetbury

    We always used to take 4-5 track mats with us on the trailer for the boxer to turn on

    Diggers are certainly more versatile but that’s probably for another thread sometime in short I’ve never regretted getting rid of my boxer, I found that you could easily get large pieces of timber onto a arb trolley or similar then we would lift them into a trailer with the roofmount at the other end all without damaging a lawn, that said a skid steer changed the way I worked and I probably wouldn’t be working the way I do now without it i did wrote a blog post for treekit a couple of years ago on the subject if anybody’s interested http://www.treekit.com/blog/investment-in-big-machinery-is-it-worth-it/

    I had a boxer loader with a stump grinder for a long time, the loader was awesome but the track system ie bearings, idlers and pulleys wasn’t really up to it long term. The stump grinder was pretty rubbish but filled a gap and made use of the machine until I could afford to replace it with a dedicated grinder buying the boxer was one of the best decisions Ive made and was a good stepping stone to building the kit I’ve got now. Personally I really rate diggers these days but loader type machines are good if your going back and forth a bit

    Very pleased with the grab

    Grab arrived for my 6 tonner got it wired in and working over the weekend, looking forward to having a proper play with it tomorrow

    It doesn’t take much more than an hour to do 30miles, 99% of my work is within 10 miles of my yard
  13. John Shutler
    Why’s that? At the moment the furthest we go is about 30miles for the national trust, but we tend to leave the kit there till we are done with the contract

    Fantastic David, a pleasure read alongside my morning cup of tea

    I've also got a 10 ton trailer, I think thE high/silage sides are important. The root crop trailers are good but very long
  17. John Shutler
    It's a 12 tonne trailer, I reckon it's got about 25cube capacity or there abouts i don't think you'd want to go much bigger as would be a pain to get into places.

    I get a lot of work through recommendations, some from the arb approved contractor scheme and a bit from checkatrade, I advertise in a local paper periodically but usually come out of it when I get busier, I also find that the paper generally brings the work I'm not really interested in doing anymore. My website is outdated and not really relevant to the work we do now
