http://www.familytreecare.com.au/ try these for sure , Nick is an old mucker , great climber for sure in his day , was out with him last year when he was over for a pint or 10 and looks like he has it sorted there ? -

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

Bad luck or not these vans are not driven by me so perhaps have a harder life than perhaps they deserve . Towing I agree , mid size or our quad chip no problems but when you start towing tracked chippers it doesn't like it so much . good set up I think , large tool box and good size cage for grass or chip if we need and plenty of hp . My lads just don't seem to like it though .

I went down the route of a single wheel fwd citroen relay 3.0 tipper to run along side the transit . My experience is the citroen does not handle the weight so well as the transit at all, also towing does not feel so good . I don't have the knowledge to tell you why this is but it is . We burnt out a clutch and blew a gearbox and flywheel between 50 to 90 thousand but this often happens to tippers when working them hard . On the plus side it is quieter to drive with less transmission noise and works fine for our GM work lugging cut grass and towing the mower . As pete said maybe look at an O license truck which we are if weight is going to be an issue.

We're moving jobs to next year with no way of getting them done before christmas. Gray Git is spot on these things have been here for years so whats the problem now . March is funny too getting things done before bird nesting season having known about the job all winter . Much better than last year as we started the year with one job on the books .
