    the other classic is "we've cut our tree down can you come and chip it" I get there and its been cut into 1000 pieces and takes 2 hours to chip instead of 15 minutes. Or they have stacked it like fiddlesticks and it wont then loader feed easily One client who was given instructions on how to stack "butts all at one end" proceeded to beautifully stack about five ton of brash with the butts hard up against a huge rock with no chance of getting the chipper anywhere near the pile.this was before i had a loader and was hand feeding a 12'' vermeer

    ive been to a few jobs where the client has bulldozed the trees over then shoved them into a pile resembling fiddlesticks covered in dirt.then cant understand when i wont chip them

    Not knocking teupen here. the Cela dt24 is a more compact unit than the GT23 and will go a bit higher too.Also has 14 metre up and over. And 4.5 metres negative .And full radio remote Cons.Does not have 200kg in full working envelope

    thats a Platform Basket model.Promax is a dealer. You might want to look at a few threads that Dean Lofthouse has written about platform basket Not that i am biased but a Cela dt24 spyder could be worth a look:thumbup1:

    not that i know anything about pommy laws but cant you burn waste using an airburner? No smoke from them if set out right

    i reckon that a torque wrench and a grease gun should be standard equipment supplied by the manufacturer

    the stainless box would have been TIG welded an excellent welding method

    so far have not chipped the carbide on the two leading teeth yet .Have ground approx 20 stumps 400mm diameter and 4 stumps over 1000mm they are excellent for plunging straight through roots On Palms the multitip teeth would bog down once you grind through to the fiberous roots.on the Alpine Rhino it doesnt slow down at all.Much slimmer profile. On the laski i am running 6 standard teeth.The dealer here (rayco) also sent 2 wide cutters which i havent used yet.I suspect that they will be too aggressive on the multitip wheel.Alpine Rhino's wheel is much more round like It does cut with much more force than the multitip and i have had to upgrade some of the guarding
  11. kimtree
    For any multi tip users wanting to try alternative teeth Alpine Rhino teeth will fit without changing the wheel.And fit better too as they are machined Will be much more aggressive cutting than their own wheel however I have trailed them on my modified Laski now for 3 weeks and they are at least twice as fast and so far have not even chipped the carbide

    you can't go wrong with a BMG on a small machine:thumbup1:

    Have a look at the Cela DT 21 or 24 spider lifts Very fast and compact units They have been out a few years now so secondhand should be available
  14. kimtree
    well emr if you buy one i hope between my 2006 model coming out and the latest edition that Laski themselves made some changes for the better at the factory.
  15. kimtree
    i would imagine that they are already aware of the unit's short comings i thought about buying this brand/model a few years ago but your accident put me off. Prior to buying the current MEWP i did alot of research on the net and could not find any incidents involving Cela spyder lifts.I ended up buying the first one shipped to Australia This machine also relies on sensors and a loadcell where the basket clips on .If you over extend the machine an alarm goes off and then it shuts the motor off.you can then re start and retract the boom.Before using it on its first job it was well and truly tested at full extension over a flat roof and the feet showed no signs of lifting.However the feet pads slide into a much bigger steel plate than the actual foot and this surely must help with the stability
  16. kimtree
    In Chris's video he say's that this model is not being made anymore.But the same machine is being imported into Australia right now and with no obvious changes to the feet pads at all!
  17. kimtree
    Have Terex made any changes to the stock Laski stump grinder that they have re-badged?
  18. kimtree
    a previous owners speeding ticket was found behind the dash of the HJ47 from 1985
  19. kimtree
    there is a write up in Vertikal magazine about this accident
  20. kimtree
    "a fault with the design of the machine" sounds exactly like Dean's accident cause.
  21. kimtree
    if Terex have made some changes from the stock unit they could be better than what laski put out.If they haven't be prepared to spend some extra money to get it up to spec. I have spent a bit and have ended up with a good unit. I have recently seen a couple of Terex videos of them stump grinding end grain of logs lying on the ground that just make them look utter crap

    when i had a blue heeler i had a purpose built cage on the back for him.never went to any ute shows or suchlike.Then again i am in the middle of nowhere here. the current dog is a kelpie and sits in the front of the Canter in the air con Spoilt rotton
  23. kimtree
    Not quite perfect but a vast improvement!
  24. kimtree
    2005 model turbo intercooled.think its a 4.2 ltr.its a bit too thirsty for my liking.17 litres to 100klms.But has a working airconditioner and has lots of power compared with the old 3.3 litre version
  25. kimtree
    since i bought a canter 4x4 i havent used the 47 .should really sell it do i go to dog on ute days? Not sure what you're asking there
