Two heads are better than one, even if there only sheeps heads.

What sort of mpg do you think it does?

Cheers for that. I havnt got one yet but they don't normally go for too much and would be handy I think. Cheers again

These are the ones I mean

Does anyone know if you cam still get the replacement wheels for the above? If so where and how much cheers mike

Good to see the guys in the background - one of them with a massive set of gypsy loppers and the other a climber coming down from the tree obviousley free climbing..

To be fair I think he has got a harness on!

Have you thought about getting the Rangie lpg converted?

 

Okay, so the mpg won't improve, but the cost of the fuel would go down by about 40%.

 

Alternatively, what about something like this - better mpg, still 4x4, not too dinky:

 

2001 JEEP CHEROKEE 2.5 TD 60th Anniversary 5dr Sw Special Edition

It is gas converted but as it I'm probably getting about 22-28mpg equivalent, I'm still looking at getting double that plus cheaper insurance hopefully, and also a car that isn't always needing something doing to it!!

Cheers for the recommendations there's a fair list to go through there haha

buy an old petrol shogun, dirt cheap - save your 2k for fuel, they do about 16mpg > 20mpg on a run

Haha I might as well keep the one I've got

Cheers for replies autoyrader tomos I think

Cheers I'll have a look at the 306

Rob, bit too small for me those cars

Right I need to get a car that does more than 12mpg. So my favourite at the moment is an astravan as there sposed to be able to manage 50+mpg. But I'd like opinions on others before I get one. Basic requirements are good mpg and some room in the back! Doesn't really have to be a van but could do with some carrying capacity. Cheers mike. Oh budget not massive about 2-2.5k depending what I get for the rangie!!

I've got one of these

Very heavy all in but it rarely comes out except in very boggy areas or if your well stuck, not sure on price but I paid £50 for it.

i have a similar problem with landy lamps, all the wiring for the lighting circuits has been replaced and now the remaining faults lie within the bulbholders, you push a new bulb in and it pops back out within seconds, i just bought a bunch of heavy duty bulb holders with grub screw type connectors, i'll build them into the existing lamps and no more problems:thumbup:, i did consider led lights but had already bought a heavy duty flasher unit as it's rare the trailer is not attached, now the landy is wearing back lamps robbed from a trailerboard and i just need to rebuild the fronts.

I've had this with replacement units for the landy, had about 3 or 4 on one light, the plastic either isn't tough enough or it's not moulded to the right dimensions, the pins on the bulb just wore past the grooves of that make sense, then the bulb popped out. Finally solved it with a genuine unit, but I tried both wipac and britpart ones.

Is that taken from an iphone?

Haha yeah someone else tidied up another day.

Not sure the vid shows how steep the banking was was easily 45 degree had a real struggle cutting the gob

what about a ground anchor knocked in, then drive over it, with it in the middle then fasten it to tow points on the bumper? thought of doing this myslef but never needed too yet.

i take it your moving logs around? rather than pulling trees over. ive yet to have a problem pulling trees over and mines only a 90 so less weight.

Saw this in a tree today not the best photo tho. All the sides were smoothed, I'm sure I read somewhere that this an indication of bats??

I'll try this one!

Ok so how do I do this? I thought o just got the img code from photobucket?

Oops!

Try again!

A fairly bug beech I felled a little while back. Must point out that the saw wouldn't idle hence the strange revving!

Might need a site to drop some connie chip as close to bury as possible, probably a couple of van loads. Pm me or 07764581557 cheers mike

Can anyone give me the low down on working on trees that lean out of a woodland over a railway?

Depends what you want to do!

Just checked the website and there 5£ per day per vehicle. Will have to phone up and check I'd be eligible but fingers crossed!

Thanks for replies

just thought, what's the crack with skips? How do they go on? Thinking I could hire a skip park the chipper there and just chip into the skip, I'm sure they wouldn't be able to ticket a chipper on it's own??

Cheers for the replies, I'd rather not bother if I had to get tm in on it.

It would be a sun morning job. I'll look up the permits as mentioned above.

It's only the chipping that is going to be a problem, I can sort the tree out without needing to park there. So for a couple of hours at most I'll be parked there, but knowing my luck....
