I reckon you could still use those mounts for a chipper?You would then have the ability to swing it either to left or right. Do you have rear hydraulic couplings on that mog mate?

I recently bought a knife blade from Tromsøin northern Norway.It has a taperd tang and the handle was traditionally hammered onto the tang.I would like to make a handle out of hardwood and this method would probably result in splitting the handle.So I'll make a two peice handle,releive the area the tang sits in and epoxy the halves together.I have some seasoned Oak deadwood that I slabbed,what would others reccomend as a stable alternative?
-
Don't know exactly but it looks like you have the hinges only for a "swing away" mount.Two hinges on the left and a latch in the right.If that is the case,you'd need to fab up a triangular mount that the chipper would bolt to,the pto shaft would run through the middle and detatch when the chipper is unlatched and swund to the side for dumping etc.

I saw this on Ebay when I was perving for unimog parts. Serious money here,but a hell of a nice rigg!

Here is a picture of my Landy.I have it stored at my sisters farm in NZ.A 1969 SII A guy put alot of money into the project and then his business went bust and I bought it off a receiver for £500 equivalent. He had the following work done by an engineering firm. Chassis galvanised and strenghtend Toyota 3B Diesel engine fitted and wading kit Toyota Lancruiser gearbox and transfer case Rover 90 Diff heads Axel breathers Extended spring hangers Air shocks Roll cage 12000lb Ramsey winch Free wheel hubs Tow bar Bucket seats with harness and seatbelts Electric Fans When I bought it it wasn't running,due to the receiver not knowing it was 24volt and trying to start it with one battery. I have taken this machine into some mental places,drove it 14miles off road without a clutch.Drove it across a Lagoon with water higher than the Door tops whilst being paced by Kayakers from Danemark!

Very cool! I was expecting the engine to hydralic! "come on Snorkel" "come on Diesel" He'd be digging fish out of his heater vents when he got home!

I hold one in my mounth and my groundie then kicks me in the knads. My dental inprint is then indellably pressed into the wedge. No need for names
-
Now that is what I need! thanks again!
-
No I have never heard of one!But,yes great idea!I'll have a scout round the net and see if I can turn one up. Thanks for the sugestion!

Unimog and Merc 8110.We have also just bought a TK Bedford with a Tipping deck for the princely sum of £1000 equivalent.It has high sides and covered an unbelivable low 15000 miles in 30 years!

What I find most upsetting is that the chip pictured indicates the operators blades are blunt. Which probably means he has to steal another.
-
Ha ha,I actually had to rescue mine with the digger this morning after another " I wonder if......" episode. Now I have to panel beat the feed tray on the chipper. Anyway Dean,its more challanging driving up things:ohmy:
-
Suitcase I may look stupid flinging it into the mog.But its water/chip proof easy to carry and everyday starts like a holiday.

Silky saw:Always there,cuts rope better than any knife.After you've lost a good few knives out of trees you'll get the point.

The first three had breaches that chambered a Blank Cartridge that when fired drove the Harpoon out.The fourth gun also had the the same idea but the breach slide to one side like a Artillery peice,same idea just larger.
-
I went to Tromsø for a few days with a mate.Unfortunatly it was overcast for the Solctice but being 600miles north of the Arctic circle it was still a good time. Here are som pictures of Harpoon guns outside the Polar museum.Norway still whales commercially and you can buy the meat in most supermarkets.Its very tender.

+1 Splice an eye in one end and you could also use it as the first leg of two ropes joined together to pull Trees over (so your good rope dosn't get squashed)
-
Very smart! Does it have a decent road speed or is its speed comparable to a tracked machine?
-
Ban chainsaws! Problem solved!

I think the Jap 4X4's are generally more reliable than landrovers.Fewer leaks,rattles,oil patches on the driveway etc. I still have a landrover back home,dad drove them for forty years but now drives a Izuzu because he got sick of working on landy's. I think that sayes alot.

There were three students to a staffer for the days I was there helping with the large tree felling.One staff in the tree with the climber and students on the ground.Good fun and eager to do it again.

Ok my mistake.
