You assume that all criminals are thick without an education which is not the case, the police don’t tend to catch the clever ones unless they get lax. Its a lot easer to bathe an object in a chemical then a burglar covered in smartwater . What if you apply your own smartwater’s over the top of someone else’s smartwater?

not quite true

Be careful being on full boost at high rpm’s for long periods, as you will get high EGT given both the om352 & om366 with turbo that are not native >150HP units means you don’t have the piston crown cooling jets which squirt oil on the underside of the piston + bores. As a rule you don’t take om352a/la & om366a/la that are beneath <150hp above >150hp without retrofitting piston crown cooling jets #1 especially if they spend there lots of time at high load on e.g. hevy pto work, high traction work or ware it is hilly. #1 = noting that not all blocks are machined to take them thus fitted with blanking plugs that can be removed to fit cooling jets.

its got its own engine.

I see you all assume the “boss” hasn’t done anything wrong or illegal Its easy enough to sack someone then feign damage caused by an “aggrieved ex-employee”, not every boss or even employee is whiter than white. Also kids/adolescents/teenagers do vandalise thing and do damage like this, on a job I was on in feb a 13t Hitachi digger was taken for a short joyride then was left in a small hole it had dug!

I would definitely agree on the bearings based on other TW modals, from what I have seen on e.g. smaller 190 the bearings lack actual numbers of ball bearings in them for there size meaning each takes more load.

Don’t think so, with the size of the 360 you could have dissected everything squash it then burred the lot 6m under the ground then carefully hide ware on a site like that in a couple of hours, then drop the oils out of the 360 then start it up leaving a note in the cab that nothing has been stolen and that its still all on-site just so the insurance don’t pay out so easily & they waste time finding scrap! It’s a good try though!

Do you base that on the angle of the lower part of the feed chute being angled downward away from the feed rollers necessitated by there height off the ground because of the hyd oil tank placement thus feet/skid? As that is one of my reservations of the TW and others with fixed high feet/skid vs. feed roller height. I must say I do like the look of the Farmi ones, they have an elegant looking efficient engineering to them plus I do like the idea of driving the hydraulics off the machine given it would be running when in use.

Anyone got any opinions on the timberwolf PTO 300 (12”) chippers? Are they any good vs. other makes of a similar ilk/capacity given I would be looking at ones made between 2003 –2006 Anything better?

Sold as seen means nothing unless the fault/defect/damage is known to the purchaser at the time of purchase &/or you have drawn the purchasers attention to the fault/defect/damage and the faults/defects/damage needs to be specified to a reasonable extent in the advert/s & on the receipt of sale, only then "sold as seen" has meaning in law, the same is true of "As Is" or "Sold as is advertised" If a UJ is squeaking or has play after 300 miles then it was faulty/damaged at the time of sale. Was the oil there on the chassis at the time of sale. When was the last time you did >150miles in the said land rover in 1 journey?

As with anything off-road its the driver behind the wheel makes the difference as the weather it gets stuck or not and just how stuck it is if it dose. A loaded IW trailer or a loaded Land Rover will sink further than a loaded Unimog with comparative tyre pressure. There are a lot of people who drive mogs that are steering wheel attendants skilled in other things rather than drivers skilled in the art of driving off-road who are time served in 4x4/6x6 truck and other wheel machine Lets face it any idiot can get stuck its not exactly hard, the art is not getting stuck and knowing the vehicle limits and that of the ground, as they say discretion is the better part of valour!

Many cars cannot tow 750kg unbraked as that is the absolute legal maximum, many cars can only tow in the region of 450kg to 650kg unbraked so there are plenty of axels out there that have brakes even though they are rated at 750kg or less. If you think logically a car will weigh much more than the unbaked trailer it can tow ware as an ATV will weigh much less than the trailer they are asked to tow even with the rider on it, the unbaked trailer capacity of ATV is very small if you look at the machine specs. Lets say your ATV weighs 250kg (without rider) and is 4x4 with brakes on all wheels, on tarmac or other hard dry ground it will be good for ~75% of its weight to convert into any form of traction, thus with its brakes locked you will yield 187.5kg of holding force, on dry grass it will yield ~35% of its weight to convert into traction or 87.5kg of holding force, if it lightly rains on that grass the adhesion will drop much lower down to ~25% or ~62.5kg of holding force. Now if you bare the above paragraph in mind and its simple concept of converting mass in to adhesion (grip) base on the factor of adhesion % that a surface will yield wile reading the paragraph below you will realise why people get into trouble with trailers and slopes especially when condition change with a little bit of rain. As most of you know when the vehicle you are driving comes to a hill it slows down, the steeper the hill the more power you need to maintain speed and the greater the affect of slowing down is in the absence of sufficient power, slowing down happens because unlike travailing on the flat ware the effects of gravity are negated a % of gravity based on angle of incline will be working to resist you assent, a vertical incline (90deg) will yield 100% of gravity or in ATV terms relating to this thread and the above example that would be 250kg + 750kg of trailer equalling 1000kg pulling you down and because of the absurd angle (mealy for the point of illustration) non of that mass would be acting on the wheels, on a 45deg slope the effects of gravity are 50% so you have 50% of your total mass trying to pull you down hill or in other words 500kg of force, on a 22.5deg slope you have 25% of your total mass trying to pull you down hill or in other words 250kg of force and logically if you are keeping up with the above you realise that on a 11.25deg slope it is 12.5% of your mass trying to pull you down hill (125kg) and for a 5.625deg slope its 6.25% of your mass (62.5kg), so in short for each 1deg of slope you get 1.111111% of your mass acting agenised you to pull or push you down hill. So in a situation ware you are using an unbraked trailer a modest slope on e.g. grass it can be a killer especially when conditions have changed during a working day due to a bit of light rain, if you have brakes on your trailer then any weight on the trailer generates braking force in addition to the ATV so if you look 3 paragraphs above (Lets say your ATV weighs 250kg………..) and if you work the % for a 750kg loaded braked trailer in addition the ATV it makes a marked contrast in holding force given in the example the trailer weighs 3 times more than the ATV Just remember the calculation for holding force vs. ground factors MUST exceed gravity’s pull or you will be at its mercy. Just in case any one wanders, the drivers of the tractors in the pictures all survived yet you can see even a ROPS’s cab can only do so much and an ATV doesn’t have a ROPS or much else and 750kg of trailer is more than enough to kill you if it runs you over or impacts you agenised a tree all for the want of some brakes!

its yours or anyone else’s choice if you choose to disregard wisdom I have tried to impart, I am more than happy to say “I told you so” if it all goes wrong which I hope it wont either threw the police/VOSA stopping you on the road or some innocent person getting killed because you have disregarded something or think you know better or just that it wont happen to you. On other threads regarding ATV forwarder trailers I have pointed out the dangers of only using over-run brakes instead of power brakes given the former don’t work in reverse so WILL happily drag you and your ATV backwards down hill if you your ATV doesn’t have the mass & factor of adhesion to hold the load and if you have NO trailer brakes then when travailing up or down hill you are at much risk. There has been many a farmer etc killed and injured and many machines written off on gentle grass slopes due to unbraked trailers pulling them backwards down hill.

fast tow" & "swinging axles" are not compatible in law, if you have "swinging axles" the law states you cannot go above 20mph that is why high speed (>20mph) agricultural trailers have beam axels or independent suspension and cheep low speed (<20mph) agricultural trailers have "swinging axles" AKA walking beam with axel stubs. # # don’t confuse HGV type walking beam like Hendrickson's with agricultural type walking beam

or pay the VAT abroad at the point of sale, the VAT man hear than has NO claim it depends on IF you are VAT registered so can claim back VAT paid hear.

It would also be wise to make sure chemicals etc that are highly reactive/unstable with each other when mixed are in separate bunds so it is imposable for spills/leeks to mix.

at 4:29 any one see the man down range not looking at the tree

if i said "Actually some of the proper automated garage door openers" i may well have actually watch the video to know it wasnt a proper automated garage door opener. just think is I had just said "Hahahahahahaha" or "fantastic" what would you have learnt? At lest you may have come away from this thread feeling amused & wiser.

nice you have got to have something with a small tasteful union jack on as its BRG like BTW you do know that most MBU/SBU mogs are fitted with knock-off spring handbrake cylinders, so you can move them with out air by hitting near the end of the rod with a hammer, if you read the operators handbook it tells you about it

Actually some of the proper automated garage door openers are very useful for counteracting LDME (Laser Distance Measuring Equipment) as when the get hit by a laser beam they repeat the laser pulse thus giving LDME a false reading because it thinks it is getting signals back from 2 different vehicles of different speed due to the delay between the refracted beam and the repeater beam Of causes its illegal to have one fitted if you don’t have automated garage door opener using that system. You get similar systems for automated garage doors etc that also do the same with C, K and X band radar.
