  1. sorry vertex vent only have 3 year garentee
  2. if you dont have a car full, its cheaper to get the bus from the airport to milan(1hr) then the train to turin(2hr), you can walk from turin train station to the comp site in about 25 minutes.
  3. and all BTS motors have trackers, i wounder if they new that:sneaky2:
  4. Hi All my old beford was working down in Ipswich and parked up at the BTS yard, full of mogs, mewps, pole trucks and newer van and wagons, they cut off a very high sceurity lock to get through the gate just to take my old gril:bawling:but at least they had taste! no dout that the hiab is on another wagon already and the rest will be cut up and sent to africa. any one got anything intresting for sale, i feel like an insurance claim
  5. so would others! HB are not sponsoring any more since martin has left Yep that was when it was a idependant PA and not a sub committee as it is now.
  6. go and see the tree spyder at http://www.mytreelessons.com/Pages/Knots.htm
  7. not Aire Valley (based near LBA airport now, after i sold it) there is Acacia tree services nr wakefield/south leeds. On a similar note a guy in Italy was killed on a golf course, owned by Fiat, when a tree fell on him while he was about to tee off, the first time ever the course had been open on a easter monday and the first time the guy had played a round of golf:tdown:
  8. if the engine is tired, think realy hard as there not the easyest engine to work on and parts can be a problem. Have mine as agr reg, had a guy come round to inspect it, form vosa, as i wanted it as 'special vehicle' (lifted the body off) said it was a crane fead pto timber processor! he siad thats not special its agr,ok i said!!!!!!!!!!
  9. The fact remains that I believe the USA drives arboriculture..I'm not saying I like it but that seems to be the way of thngs. It was born there and developed in a large part. dont want to jack this, but, arboriculture started in europe/england 300 years before it became popular term in the states in the 1930's. europe leads the way in R&D and always has, but the states is a bigger market place and arbocop is spot on ANSI is only a 'standard' to which things are made and has no independant testing some 'ANSI' harness would not pass the CE test
  10. Yep, driven through the gear box, transfer box out put. goes in the same place as an overdrive would.
  11. if any of you are in leeds any time call at the shop and you can play in the inside tree (20' tall)with any of the dozen harness that i have. the best way to decide, i think.
  12. same, the nearest happening to me in the last five years and i'm away at the Belgium comp
  13. No... the PTO's for mec winches come off (landy/Bedford) the transfer box and means that they run through the gear box, at low speed, so do not take the stick when driving a chipper and easly strip the gears clean:icon4: i've got a direct engine PTO box that fits between the clutch and gear box running drive through a blower box to the chipper
  14. just had to put in a seal kit in the rear brakes, as the pads were a little damp! not easy to find. i'll PM you next time and call it a tax refund:deal:
  15. thanks. it a bit slow when full of chip though (9cube!!)
  16. for the work that we do a mog would be a waste of money, this is my old (1978!)Bedford, 10' TP chipper and 7ton/meter hiab with side tip. not used every day, and the hiab more than the chipper. i dont get much off road work in the city, but it will get us across the grassed areas we work in. Parts are getting a bit short, now most of them have gone to africa, but as its only got 36,000 miles from new it will last a few more years:driver:.
  17. we have a few in stock still £225 +VAT call the shop 01132296006
  18. easy answer, no. Air-spades require large volumes of air at medium pressure, wagons/moggs have high pressure at low volume.
  19. it started 25m away from the bridge on the other side of the stream. the day we were cutting the top off was -1 at lunch time and it was deeper than chainsaw wellies. its a 75 ton crane and the biggest lump was 4.7 tons though most picks were around the 2 ton mark as most of it was rotten
  20. Hi All i'm looking to put some more arb teams on the road. if your intrested in working for a forward thinking company, with a wide varity of work across yorkshire. i'm looking for climbers and 2nd climbers/groundies who want to do high quality treework send me a PM or call sybs in the office on 01132296006 look forward to some intresting response craig trees unlimited
  21. if they have any left, it will be all they can get as they have stopped making amicide.
  22. i agree, its more important to many customers. when you leave site, if its not tidy, its not finnished.
  23. Hi wolf nice to see you here. do you know the link to the german tcc site?
  24. running a TCC is a lot of work, 100% more work before,than just on the day which is all people see, i guess that there's no one around with that sort of time and more importantly intrest, sad really as they were always good fun:cheers:
