from what you have said id say anywhere between £100 to £10,000!!! very hard to price without seeing it. carl

yep:thumbup: i work for the op, wow what a difference the chipper has made to the working day. chipper to the brush !! obvious really but saves the body loads:thumbup1:

ours always blocked on conny from time to time but got a lot worse with age, so i suspect it could be the shear bar thing you mentioned as ours is very worn, very frustrating having to unblock it every 5min, the worst thing for it was wet fuschia clippings!! we just gave up a got a trailer and mounded it in. we found you had to have a man just feeding it and watching the chute, worked better than walking off as it blocked. hope you get it sorted, be good to know so we can sort ours, although we have a small tracked chipper now. carl p.s could be a stick wedged sideways in the chute!! had us puzzled for a while lol.

a fella at work just fitted a bit of drain pipe for rakes and forks, seems handy and we have a hook for a piece of ply with rope handles that we tow about to save the lawn. might add a tow hitch for a small trailer in the future. be interested to hear of other time saving mods people have done. carl

just googled the portawrap and its rated for 1000kg , so fairly sure we didnt exeed that. would a larger diameter rope reduce the chances of glaze from the portawrap??? thanks carl
-
rope was 13/14mm and not sure of the make of portawrap, has got about 3 or 4 inch tube on it if that makes sense. weight of bits.. erm never been that up on weights the heaviest was a large pine limb with a end diameter of about a foot, not crazy big, but pretty heavy. thanks carl
-
is this possible?? had the rigging rope running through pulleys but it ended up glazed either when doing some normal rigging or when we tagged bits sideways with the tracked chipper whilst lowering them on the portawrap, so is this normal and what was i doing wrong, too bigger bits??? not had any glazing much before. thanks carl

really good point, i often think people in the third world would look at my lifestyle and think wow , probably like winning the lottery to them( and no iam not loaded:001_tongue:) and yet its so easy to think the classic " i should be getting paid more"

what tonnage slings are we talking here?, how do they break, the stiching ? is this to do with the shock load rather than actual weight? just curios so i dont bust one myself! thanks carl

we have the nikkon d3200, seems like a good camera, might depend on what they want to do with it, ie close up, sport etc, we just got the 18-55mm lense with it which only seems to shine at close up portraits and additional lenses can be pricey. carl

saw a few unimog campers in europe, the thought of driving them long distances..... no thanks not to mention sticking in a hundred euros of white diesel every couple of hours!!! still might be good in the depths of africa. carl

ive got one, there quite fiddly to use and the short cable length is a pain, but that said ive done a good bit with it and at the price cant really fault it but id imagine the tirfor copies would be a lot more user freindly. carl
-
cool thanks for the replies:thumbup:
-
and it didnt wear the drive motors or anything?? seems like it could be and handy and very quick way to pull stuff. had the tracked chipper in a little woodland today , a breeze compared with arb trollying all the brash out, just so good having the chipper right next to you all the time! thanks carl
