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.

Anything that my spikes won't dig into Joking:001_smile:

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.
-
A 1750 with the Bandit chipper you had on it Ed looked like rather a heavy unit mate.
-
Here are some pictures from a sectional felling course I helped staff.The course was run by Svein Ringheim and was over one week in a Alpine town called Voss in western Norway.The climbers that attended had a broad range of experiance and the GCRS and a Norwegian produced lowering device similiar to the Hobbs were used side by side.
-
I worked for a guy in South London who had one,not a bad Truck but pants off road compared to a Mog. For a mainly road use truck with limited use off road and towing a chipper then,as a unit this might be a good choice.Somthing like the RB44 would have been our first choice if we didn't have to get into tight spaces and really go off road.
-
those things are junk.We wore a groove in the Alloy behind the capstan in a day.Oh,just before the Capstan actually fell off.
-
Shame he wasn't "head butting" the wall!
-
Thankyou.The "Shrub" has grown into quite a tree,about 30ft tall.There is a Hedge made from them.
