  1. What make and model of crane is it.
  2. I take it the middle two controls are for the legs. The other two will be slew and boom and rotator and main boom. You have an extension in out and open close grapple to go somewhere. These can either go on little buttons on the top of the joystick that is controlled by the electrics. Or they're mechanical which means the joysticks sort of twist. If its the latter i can only figure the electrics could be to change the speed up or down, or power lights.
  3. Does it allow you to use extension and grapple on buttons on top of the the joysticks?
  4. Go on auto trader select choose what you want, how much you want to pay and how far your willing to go and you'll have an list. Its what i did twice.
  5. Does it taste like it too.
  6. You could hire in some track way to put down a temporary road service.
  7. Love it. A word we used a lot in the forests.
  8. LED don't need changing so you can weld up some substantial surrounds and weld mesh covers that bolt onto the trailer chassis.
  9. I'd of thought you'd be best off lowering the sections out. I think it was in Scotland where the FC felled a load of Douglas Fir on some archeology. They tied the at the top and then they went through some blocks and pullys and i'm guessing some porta wraps to slowly lower the whole tree to the ground very slowly. It was in either Forestry Journal or the FCA mag it was a few years ago now though.
  10. Another vote for LED lights. You do have to wire in a resistor or there isn't enough draw on the light circuit to make the trailer lights show up as working in the cab. I think these were the ones i got.

  11. Been moving lots of stuff on Low Loaders recently. A few of the Romanian drivers English wasn't great but it didn't need to be as they did it all them selves. Asked what tractor needed to go and then it was done. Had some fantastic English guys too but it was all tainted by one guy yesterday. Mr i need 115ft of straight level ground to unload or its not getting done. Not at all helpful.
  12. Thanks Matt I'll give him a bell.
  13. Hi Looking for a mobile Ag Engineer in Bedfordshire. Need some tractors looking at. Cheers Andy
  14. Do you mean Larches like European Larch, Hybrid Larch, Japanese Larch etc.... If you do then there is Loads of it around Dumbfries and Galloway forest district. Lot being felled due to Phytophthora ramorum. Either way if you want some Euroforest would be your best bet.
  15. yes he could. Although if he is confident on the safety/legislation side he could just take the NPTC tests.
  16. Get the Colins Tree Guide and turn it upside down?
  17. I'm not cool or coordinated for such things. Maybe i should take it off?
  18. Two bags on cement on the roof it is.
  19. I think keeping the hire all legit would around £20 quid per time more if you change the blades each time. If you have enough work for hiring it consider buying one and using the hire to pay the finance.
  20. 550 > 346 560 > 357 390 > 385 Had a go on the new 201T with the STIHL auto tune and that was good. At least as good as my 020T.
  21. I'd imagine you need some sort of plant hire insurance for it and maybe the insurer could help with the rental agreement. That or hire something from HSS and copy their form. 3 replies in the time for me to do one. If your doing formal rental just make sure all your PUWER stuff is top notch and up to date. I'd imagine a dealer service would go amiss on your records every year either.
  22. I thought the load on the roof of the Navara was 150kg.
  23. Emissions and vibration regulations is what is driving it. My 550xpg is one of the best saws I've owned and I've had a few.
  24. A few years ago Sale were selling giant kinder eggs with a much bigger toy inside. They were very expensive though.
  25. Hi Is it possible to re tension the rewind spring on the starter without the key it says you need in the manual. Cheers .
