We have a substantial conifer line to come out near Haverhill , could any biomass boys out there please get in touch regarding whole tree chipping , not sure I want to chuck it all through the tr8 and am sure it’s of value somewhere .

Stubby , I've got an old d22 also 190k on it . The turbo went the other day at the same time as the mot and had to think twice however by far the most reliable motor I have ever owned . used daily still for logging and not had an easy paper round but i do have a soft spot for it . As for D40's great trucks and go like the clappers , mines due for a change now and thinking ranger 3.2 as I've had a few issues .

Were they overground or underground ? bugger all the same . Making good use of things that they find ?

Got more than enough here if you want to pop up with a trailer , can load with a tractor no worries

A lot of this is down to luck/contacts also , who you went to school with , who you've been drinking with ect , some companies will wine and dine managers an QS's or people handing out the work in many different ways smaller companies just can not . Boxes at football or other sporting events . All above board and just the way it is .

Do you tow with yours often , how does it cope with chippers , was thinking just the quad chip and 6inch tracked or is this pushing it a bit .

How to people get on with these ? really looking to add one to our fleet .

I saw two lads in a car going down the M6 and the wipers on their car had broken and they had tied string between the wipers and string to each end and had a pulling sequence going on , bloody genius i think . -

I'm looking for a digger 2.7 ton or so for towing to operate a log grab and flail . Zero tail swing seems to be the most available but seems to me of lifting logs then surely a counterbalance is a better idea . I've driven machines a little but will be a learning curve and for the use we want it for training will have to be done . Any advice from you guys that have used these machines gratefully received .

Don't know whats happening down here then , they approached their underwriters to ask and it was a certain no . Was possible if I held enough other insurance through them (farm ect) but we've only got the chippers and a bit of tool insurance with them . Fairly sure it is going to sting the bank balance a bit but the benefits outweigh that .

Thanks Bob , wouldn't have even thought of them ?

Can any of you arbtalkers point me in the right direction . I insure 2 4x4 and 2 tippers and soon to be another box van . I employ 2 lads of 18 and 19 currently on a part time basis and soon once they are released from college full time . These lads are really capable and great team members and really need them to be able to drive the vans , my insurance is up for renewal and the nfu will not even entertain under 25s. Any help with who to go for gratefully received .

I like these , it's the tree that made me decide to go for it in business . Might dig out some pre digital got what I think are nice ones
-
Yup
-
It was on a 130hp so my thought were it needed a bit more . As for a birds nest It was pulled apart with a 14 tonner and dropped by the infeed , might seem like double handling but deadlines for felling and all that . In hind sight I would have got this one in from the off , filled the first artic in 20 minutes
-
We had a heizohack in which I think needed more power , took 2 days to chip what's in the pic , which to be fair the lads didn't want to do with the tr8
-
Its spoken for now thanks , not worth milling though
-
