  1. The specs are more like a vermeer 935.
  2. The X7 has a 7" X 10" infeed so it's not just 1" bigger it's nearly double the capacity of a 6" X 6" chipper.
  3. I can recommend these guys. http://www.mrsheattransfer.com Really helpful, gave a guide price over the phone.
  4. It must just be the light Chris.
  5. The lawn looks well considering it had a fully loaded 18t truck running over it repeatedly.
  6. A few from a recent job. 2 Beech to come down over a power line, footpath, patio, cottages, old wall and a folly.
  7. My mate had this mog with about 11m reach And another mate has this 55t hiab with over 20m reach And this 4x4 merc 1820 You can never have too many friends with cranes.
  8. Yeah, I had quite a bit of interest in it. The first person to come up and see it bought it. Have you seen the 55 plate 6.5t Iveco for sale on Facebook? Looks tidy and not silly money.
  9. The Iveco was great, it was a lump shorter and 6" narrower. It was a lot more manoeuvrable.
  10. No it's been a tree truck since new. My sign writer described it as a wanky beige Iraqi army surplus beast.
  11. It's just over 7m and will lift 1.25t at full reach. It's really handy, I wouldn't want to go back to working without a crane.
  12. £1000 for 5 years. It's hardly expensive. How much is the fine for being overloaded? How much will your insurance go up by after getting points for being overloaded? My truck is 8'6 wide and 26' long. Yeah it costs more to run than a transit but I don't need to empty every 30 minutes either. It won't go down every drive but it is surprising where it'll go.
  13. Getting an operators license isn't hard or expensive. There are plenty of trucks to choose from apart from 3.5t transits and unimogs.
  14. It's just a large bolt, no bearings on mine.
  15. I've got this, if you want any better pictures I can get some next week.
  16. Try Bob Woodhouse 07718 885547. His Hiab would easily lift that.
  17. Agriplant in Ingleton have a couple of those in. 1 has only done 50 miles from new.
  18. A few pictures from the start of this week.
  19. A few pictures of my truck earning it's keep and the last picture with my mates mog.
  20. Not sure on the make. Graham would know 07767 386006
  21. I looked for a second hand grab. They all seem to make good money or have been welded (badly) a decent grab should last you a lot of years so not worth the hassle of buying twice IMO. Can you see through the head board for loading on yours? I'm getting my controls shifted to standup controls for better vision.
  22. They're made by Opico I think. Try here http://www.opico.co.uk
  23. Here's a guide to safety inspection intervals found https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/321988/guide-to-maintaining-roadworthiness.pdf
  24. Looking good. Have you used it much?
  25. I does push the sides out a bit, it's less lumps to load and unload though.
