I had one.Got the head planed and fitted a Webber Carb and a set of extractors.It went alot better.They were very popular with Hunters back home. I had a set of BFG Mud Terrains on it eventually.I used to get the front guards packed with Mud and have to use a folding shovel to clear them out.

Been using my MK1 daily on SRT for two years now.No problems.

The Merc 711D and 811D are just about perfect for most tree work. 6 Man Cab and a very reliable truck. They made a few of them in 4X4 but they arn't common, Here is a 2WD that has done 50K miles for a whopping £2.5K Mercedes-Benz 711 D als Pritsche + Plane in Kremmen

I think the recession saw many of them either repossessed or off loaded due to lack of work or high running costs.This is over all industries not just treework where in Europe Mogs are probably a tiny minority of vehicles used. Quite a few nice ones came out of Greece and Iceland after their respective economic troubles too. Also there are more specialized attachments for Wheel loaders and Rubber tyred diggers,such as mowers,ditchers and much of the stuff that Mogs were used for. I bought my first one from a dealer in Germany who just sold and fixed Mogs,on his lot there must have been 30 of them.Now if you vist his and other once specialized dealers,there are all sorts of Machines for sale. I like Mogs and look often at the Web sites in Germany where they have been slowing reducing the price of them since about 2008.I paid £23K for a minty U1000 and at that time a minty U1600 with all the fruit would have run £35 to £50K depending. People advertise their mogs for un realistic prices and they stay unsold for a long time typically.

Pro's: High degree of off road mobility Ability to power a Chipper/Winch/Crane trailer off one Engine Road presence It is a eye catching vehicle. Con's:Can be hard to find a good one High maintenance cost,if you use the two main dealers in the UK Having to register it as a HGV or 7.5 tonner anyway Low resale value (the bottom has dropped out of the Mog market) High degree of operator competence is needed to get the most out of them off road and even in general working conditions.They are alot more complex to operate than a Truck. Some people swear by them,others will never own one again.If you have your heart set on one,look to Europe or start negotiations at half of the advertised price in the UK.I just bought a U1100 with all the fruit and its only covered 9000 miles in its life for £5K.That was after selling my mint U1000 for £6K,which had only covered 40K and had one owner apart from me.

So whats going on with this? I saw on facebook some guys standing in a field seemingly captivated by some bald bloke in tight trousers explaining various high street quality camping items. All very interesting stuff.Was their an Airsoft "Battle" as part of the selection?

Do you think thats what might have brought down that Airliner over the Ukraine? My thoughts too.

Share your contraband with other Team members.

There were very very few Tiger Tanks in Normandy.

You have to have public liability insurance and private medical if you are a foreign contractor.thats after you have registerd your self on udi.if you end up in the hospital with a work related injury you will get billed otherwise.same goes if you crash a work wagon.best advice I can give is to call skattetaten tomorrow tell them your story and beleive only them.

Sounds like your working for Akrobat: You need to be saving 30% of your earning for tax if you are,you also need to pay this every three months,as well as the 25% VAT.In addition you need to be carrying public liability insurance as well as personal medical insurance.The VAT and income Tax will need to be calculated by an accountant really.Decent Accountants start at 700Kr per hour.

I used one from new.It chipped well but things fell off it and it was pretty lightly built. Then the Starter caught fire and we nearly lost the machine up in smoke.

Understood. I was reffering to the the suggested method of having a log attached by a Tail rope to "Brake" the decent of a Large Log. Sounds like a made up technique to me,or a opportunity for the drag to roll into the Tail Rope and have everything end up in a tangled mess. But then again I have never worked in the Huge Old Growth Forests of Wales with 120 Foot Skyline Yarders boasting 900Hp,Spanning half a Mile and pulling 20 Ton per turn. But when they release "Axe-boyo's" I will have.

Gosh. Can you post some pictures of your Big Tractor's and Winches and things?

So the former statement was simply gas from your Buttocks?

WTF? Have you actually done this?

Price of the Kit and 30% of last years profit. Thats a realistic figure. I went through all sorts of drama with my former business partner about this subject.

Forgot the Crane Truck

Fine day:Chestnut:takedown:Crane Truck.

Because it was 1891 and they needed the Wood?
