My 1928 weighs about 1300kg, I think the 220 was 1400, so not much in it really. I would definitely demo a 1928, the infeed is a couple of inches wider than the 220, so you can feed more in at once, the 220 may be better for big timber, but we never really chip much above 6".

I had a 220 for years, they are ok, well built, but to be honest the GM 1928 will keep up with the 220 thanks to its letterbox infeed (7.5x11") same engine on most of them too. Id take the 1928 to be honest.

I fitted these...RVL 10-30v 27w 2150 Lumens LED Worklamp - Square One either side, on on the back and one on the crane itself...
-
Nice!
-
I just put something similar on the Valtra, they are really good. well worth the money and a nice crisp white light.

Jim's Topping. :001_tongue:

I think these are what we have been using, they are made for cold store / abattoir type work: Ice Gloves, Hi Viz For Extra Safety! They wear out in a week of hard use.. Can't vouch for these but they look good Skytec Argon Thermal Glove | Thermal Grip Gloves | Hand Protection | Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) | Protec | Protec Site Whats £5 a week for warm hands, a lot less than you used to spend on fags.....

Reading that is seems that a stoggle is a pollarded tree.

Silk gloves may improve the male private excersise too......
-
We are using the "grip type" semi disposable ones. See above. The ones we have are really warm, yellow wool with blue grip stuff. Andrew gets them on line, we buy lots, when one pair gets wet you get another out....

There's one that works in conjunction with your phone, SPOT Response or something like that. Thing is, in order to report you will need a mobile signal, which is not always found off the beaten track.

Putting a chipper on it?
-
Thats like saying BP will get fined because I stuck 20 litres of super unleaded in my 1982 escort....
-
24 will be the gross train is it not? My 95hp valtra would tow 10 ton ok, your trailer brakes need to be in good order or you will knacker the brakes on the tractor. A 5x2m grain trailer will weigh about 3 ton empty and you will be able to fill that with wood or chip and be fine on weight.
-
Just go by the plated capacity of the tractor....
-
Dol Mak 7900/1 better than both I reckon.
-
We have a 57plate HSE with all the toys, I love it, so nice to drive, its been reliable too.... I think so many people put up with them because they are so nice to drive, nice place to be as well, really comfortable on a long run. I wouldn't want a work truck that was unreliable though, thats why I drive a defender LOL.
-
Its because they sourced those switches from the underground train doors...
-
No Problem..
-
Yes we reduced it again last year, it was such a dismal day I didn't take any pictures. Its doing well, the ganoderma hadn't grown much....

The difference is: although climbing is every bit as tough as forestry, if not tougher, who climbs 8 hours a day? The toughest climbs for me have been a couple of 2 hour stints, or maybe 3 or 4 different trees a day at an hour or so each, there's still time on the ground where you get a breather. Forestry work is about pacing yourself because you just can't work at a climbers pace for a 40 hour week.

I had some one cancel on me recently, I told them that I was charging £180 for the council permission, the other guy was still cheaper! so they were happy to get the other guy in and i got my £180...
-
Legally you are within your rights to charge them, assuming they didn't cancel within 14 days of getting the quote. However in reality this just happens from time to time.. just suck it up. We have all probably done it to others: You are working on a street, a neighbour comes out and asks how much to do his tree, as you are right there you give him a good deal. You weren't to know that he had already booked someone else to do the job....

The detail on the maps is every bit as good as a paper one, and it will give you your location automatically, even in thick fog or if you can't read a map. If your phone is in a case then it can get wet unlike the paper map, I used to have paper maps in the car, they all got wrecked eventually.. To but paper maps co cover the area that I have in my phone would be very expensive...
-
You won't pay any data charges as you have already downloaded the maps on your wifi at home. Make sure your phone has sufficient memory space... You can also download the 1:25000 maps too but these get pricey.
