I can't find a higher rating, that's my problem. All the searches are coming up with 8 ply and 104 load index rating

I have an indespension 3.5t trailer that I use to run my mewp about. With the mewp on it weighs 3500kg dead. The problem I'm having is the tyres I am running on it are load rated at 900kg each....four tyres... meaning I am running the tyres at near their maximum load rating all the time. So far I have blown three tyres. I've looked around for replacement tyres that are rated a lot higher and that will fit on my stud spacings but have failed to find anything. The tyres I'm running are 195/50R13 104/101N with 5 1/2J 13H2 5 stud rims Does anyone know of a tyre with a load rating more around the 118-120 mark that will fit either my existing rims or a wheel and tyre combo that will fit my stud spacing Thanks

You will only advance your skill levels by experimenting.... Dadio does a lot of experimenting, trying different things and most important of all...noting the results. I like to push the envelope, life is so boring with no adrenalin Keep em coming Dadio

A lot more people burn wood in France than they do in the uk. Every man and his dog is buying a log burner in the uk at the moment so there may come a point when we have to use parts of a tree that we would normally chip, but at the moment, time is money and big chippers save time

The infeed throat opening is 12" x 7"

That info isn't in the bumf they gave me, although they did say they are doing a drum chipper of a similar physical size and I reckon that would have a high chip per hour output

My little truck pulls 3.5t whilst loaded quite regularly and she does it with ease, she'll play with the little bandit Never tried deadwood Pete, wanted to see how good it was at ragging stuff in mainly and it excels They are £18k plus vat Tom

Sorry mate....I think he said they were 1340

It weighs near the same as my 65xl and will tow the same which is good Price approx 21-22k including Sorry Carl, I can't believe I didn't take more pics. One big change is the top feed wheel carriage, which is now hinged at the back instead of front, which will create down force on the top feed roller as it feeds in

I am very impressed with it, had it out this morning on trial. Got some 8ft high Leylandii hedge put to one side to throw through it which was limby and busy on the top and it played with it, where my 65xp would not have taken it through, this did. Feed speed is just as fast as my old bandit and can be adjusted slower if required, a feature I like. The 75 has a few features different to the 65 which again is a big advantage. The feed wheels are a lot closer to the flywheel so leylandii doesn't "wrap" as easily. It has moved to a Kubota 45hp turbo'd engine rather than the Deutz 35hp non turbo, much more grunt now. It has huge flywheel bearings, twice the size of the 65 It has a drive dis-engagement clutch It has an engine cover and is a LOT quieter Access for servicing is dead easy. The only bad points I found was the discharge chute needs extending ( something bandit should be addressing by now) because over spray of chip and dust. No locking tow hitch is the other big issue. If you are laying out the same money you could buy a quality new car for, you'd expect some sort of security device. I was pleasantly suprised with it's performance though, better than I expected.

Did any of the incident attendees decent the hole to comfort and give first aid? If no-one did, then that is unforgivable Sent from my iPhone cos it was

I think your system is far easier to remember too

This was the chart I used ?? Fid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I worked it out from a fid length table on 1/2" rope which was one fids length is 10 1/2" and a short fid 3 1/2" I used a splicing wand which was quite hard, would have been much easier with a wire or push fid. What I did was read their tutorial in PDF then watch that video pausing it for each step of the splice and it really does become as easy as he makes it look Sent from my iPhone cos it was

Drew...you need to stop chewing your finger nails bro

Whatever you do, stick to facts and reason. One thing that will go in your favour is if the other party drift from the a b c of the matter into petty personal attacks. I personally would goad them into doing just that Sent from my iPhone cos it was

....and you snore

Chassis upgrades are on ex utility and such that have been through the sv workshop which is why they are so sort after and command a good resale value. Mine has definitely got a double thickness chassis Sent from my iPhone cos it was

I personally would just buy a 130 You can upgrade a 110 to HD but you are lacking the beefed up chassis which the 130 has. The 130 has double thickness chassis, an extra inner helper spring on the rear and a HD salisbury rear axle

Yes mine was the Amazon although I have had the Prado. I ended up with the Amazons because I didn;t realise at the time that the Prado was only good for pulling 2.8t I think it was and I was pulling 3.5t with it all the time. I would go for an import Prado again without question rather than a used UK motor. I got a very very low milage one and when I got it home I looked underneath and it was spotless, not even a sign of rust. If you look under the equivelent UK colorado, you'll soon see the difference Quality motors although they are very expensive for parts and the so called "Technicians" at the dealers are really "fitters". In my area at least they were useless at best.
