It is possible to fit a hydralic pump to the top of the gear box.It bolts straight on,you'd have to fit a tank and the valves but its possible.I had a look at a U1850 that a guy is fitting a tipper to,a normal tipping body not the "X" frame type.I can ask him what is going to cost all up.I know the hydralic motor is a high capacity type as the mog had a crane on it before.

one of my guys bought a load of them over from the UK.Should be good as we do most of our fishing with lures so we'll put a couple of split shot above them and try on Saturday. He's fishing now the lucky bugger.

I used to like sitting their reading the papers whilst the rest of the crew ate.But apart from very occasionally I'd pass on the cooked breakfast.

We used to pay $3 per ton in Alaska. Big difference

1) Always!Breakfast for me is always hot 2)Some times,just can't afford the time it takes 3)Never really

What about a VW Polo or a Toyota Corrolla?Both reliable and economical,not flash but who cares.

Very nice indeed! Keep us up to date with the hunting.

They make challanging targets from a bit of a distance.

Sadly another climber falls to his untimely death.Exact cause of accident unknown,only witness is even after 60 odd years,deeply shocked[ame=http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HysHjGOXEtE&feature=related]http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HysHjGOXEtE&feature=related[/ame]

Extreamly heavy lateral limbs. Braces that are subjected to large tempreture variations. Braces that could be tampered with by vandels.Such as large heavy lateral limbs close to the ground. As a lower cost option to Cobra bracing if the alternative is felling the Tree. As with most machines/techniques/equipment,one approach won't cover all bases.Steel cables and or Rods and through bolts have their place.As do synthetic bracing devices.

Is it wise to have the engine running @2400 rpm for extended periods?2500rpm in eight gear on the flat gives me 80kmph road speed,and beleive me you know your doing it! I usually trundle around at 60kmph,as a U1000 driver trundling is about as good as it gets!
-
Sad to hear that mate.Hope you get it back with blood on it.

Where was the "no stress light" on the Mog or chipper?I understand some Tractors have a device that will increase the revs if the attached device draws the revs down underload.My Mog has none of that. Yeah,I'd say that the 1450/1500 rpm range is about what I'm currently running the CH160 on.What a titty system for adjusting the anvils.Spent ages fine tuning them the other day,only to have the anvils"modify" the leading edge on the blades...bugger.
-
Very nice!
-
Ok.The machine seem happy enough at those rev's,I had a look at the bearings and gave the UJ's a grease today.I might be losing more than 500rpm though the gearbox but if 1500 on the rev counter works,I'll stick with it.

13 years,eight countries,one tattoo and a string of ex's:wave:

I have seen a few posts stating that 1000RPM is the speed many people run their chippers at.My Farmi works best with the rev counter reading 1500RPM.Is this giving me 1000 at the PTO,or am I thrashing the Chipper and drive train? This is on a U1000.
-
probably best if he never takes the dog shooting...

BC1800 Owned by a company I worked for in the states.Perkins engine,no electric switches,feed control by linkage,just a super realiable powerful bullet proof machine.Side by side with a BC1800XL there was no difference in performance between the two,expect the ten years age difference and $20 000. Why don't the companies "back engineer" chippers to when they were simple and reliable?
-
Who made the chipbox?Does it side dump?

Here is my old 110.Good wagon and completely out of place where i used to live in Brixton.

I feel that people who regularly abuse drugs are a hazard on site.If there was a test that could show the ammount of substance's in their syetem that would indicate a prolonged level of use,then I would use it to make my decison to employ them or not. If for instance showed an ammount of THC that was consistant with occasional use,then fine.If it was high enough(no pun intended) to mean several joints per day,that might mean they would be smoking on site or in my machinery.A situation that would before long result in damage,injury or more likely me catching them and firing them anyway.

Here is a Acer that we felled,felt abit dodgy all through the climb.Why is pain to see,apart from a little bit of machine damage to the Bark and a few decayed fruiting bodies at the base,little to cause alarm...Untill the end.
