    desperate times call for futile self rescue attempts. dropped chipper off and got pulled out by a digger in the end

    Unfortunately i don’t recall our apparently brief encounter but it’s obviously well etched in your memory as you seem to be quite disgruntled about it. what was the subject i found so tricky?

    odd comment

    @trigger_andy @Mull 50 posts on this thread and 31 of them are from you two. Ok the first two or 3 pages are slightly more relevant but then the thread descends into your usual pathetic game of slagging each other off. If you want to bicker do it through private messages rather than once again diluting a thread

    ive run 4 different setups of tractor and chipper. originally i had a valtra 8150 with a tp 250. not setup for crane feeding but workable if you were careful. moved upto a valmet 8050 and a jensen 141. really good setup but heavy on the back of the 8050. chopped the jensen in for a heizohack 8-400. great chipper that was addapted to be crane feed. eventually changed up again to the 8-400k. had a couple of different T series valtra in between but have now settled on the N174 and it runs the 8-400k nicely. id say you’d struggle for the money people are suggesting for the basic setup you are looking at. Also chipping for other people is a pain, badly stacked piles, metal, root balls etc are all the things you will come across and good luck recovering the repair money from people if something hard goes through. last time it cost me 3k in repairs. i’m very picky about who i chip for now IMG_5322.MOV

    15+ years of membership.15 years ago i was a climber with an old pickup and a bag of climbing bits. Been helped with my buisness immeasurably and it certainly wouldn’t be where it is today without the input of some. also i’ve met people who i’d class as some of my best friends.

    i havnt worn chainsaw boots for the last 10 years at least. it started from wearing more climbing style boots for climbing and i just never went back to them. although most days i’m machine based now

    about 1.2 cube every two weeks which equates to about 15 cube over winter. i stopped splitting logs a couple of years ago and just cut 10 inch diameter (or less) cord into 12-16inch rings

    a hobby sawmill owner with a superiority complex. the sort of bloke who says “yeah ive felled a few trees in my time” when a treework gang are working next door

    im not sure even if someone had cut through their second they would announce it on the internet

    I agree Unfortunately his posts seem to take this format with some regularity. Having been an AAAC for the last 10 years working with Paul has been an absolute joy, the AAAC scheme wouldn't be a patch on what it is without his input and I'm pleased to to call him a friend as well as a colleague. My buisness wouldn't be in the position it is now without his input so I take the above post quite personally.

    ive had a grcs for 13 years, mine was replaced a year ago. it doesn't get much use these days as my roto does most of it but I wouldn't look anywhere else

    all my big kit is on tick and i’m probably in for 200k across everything but in 2-5 years depending on what it is il own it all (if i havnt upgraded in the meantime. my fall back setup is still a mog and chipper, two trucks, tow behind, mini digger and 50hp grinder plus all the ag trailers, yard telehandler etc
