Update. Since having my Thor self powered splitter stolen just after Christmas this project has shifted up a gear. Looked at lots of options but at moment the riko machine is in winning position having nipped down to have a look at 1 last week. Riko UK - A9V500PI - Vertical log splitter for tr…: Going to make arms that will bolt onto the big eyes on the top of the bumper where the shackle is in pick and sit down the sides of the winch onto where bottom link arms would normally go on splitter then make a large pin bracket to go into the hole on centre of the fairleads to hold where top arm normally would which should sit splitter at a nice hight to work. Then run it off the hydraulics for the winch. Comments /ideas on this?

Nice video, looks nice and spongy in the bottom, nice use of the landy to tweak the chogs of stem off:-) Some serious sawdust to tidy up after ringing that lot up!

Looks like the dude out of the last batman film

Ah, good anough. Still looking for 1 though?

What the :eek: Siko tree killer ;-)

Just shows the size of stuff it can deal with!

Have you got 1 now Chris? Pictures please if you have!

Attractive women operation huge machines and the odd but of humer;-) Think doing something different is getting harder as some are settling the bar higher and higher, just keep looking for the different angles and interesting techniques

Arborist - Storm clearance. Dedicated to my Grand…: There you go jack, cool work thanks for sharing.

Nice 1 jo, bet you were a bit worried felling the top off with the camera in it, never quite dare do that myself yet.

Yes settled on a value of 50% of new price as seemed fair, or as fair as any of these situations are. Yes he's out of pocket, so am I as I did have a perfectly good quick safe machine which owed me nothing and could earn decent money and to replace it with the same is 2400 and i don't have the difference spare to do this so having to go a different way.

No joy with insurance as his household won't cover it so he's having to smash the piggy bank this weekend so we can sort a replacement as got jobs quoted that involve splitting timber on site after taking out the tree. Think I'm going to get something for now that'll run off the rb's hydraulic circuit which will need a bit of fiddling by my hydraulics fitter.as can't really justify the extra 1.5k for a new self powered 1 and 2nd hand stuff all seems dodgy, knackered or at opposite end of the country!

We got cell grown oak saplings for our wedding, and just covered over the little root/soil plug and handed them out again with a little thankyou and care note, a few friends every year on our anniversary send a picture of there tree which is quite sweet of them.

Normal wrong as you've overly complicated a situation ;-) -
Just don't leave them on overnight or might not be there in morning like my tripod ladders.
-
Now that's just showing off!!
-
Few from today's storm damage files, was able to lift it a little with the winch then actually stand it back up once the top was removed, not a single tile broken on the church but driveway has seen better days ;-)

Now the fun bit! :thumbup: You lads had it good yesterday being in the workshop, nearly called in to say hello as did a roadside callout a few miles away at constable Burton but then got called to another then another...... Remember the golden rule and you'll be fine. Think twice cut once -
Yes 57plate td5 in that one jon, don't think there much point in spending too much on performance when it's the sort of vehicle you don't want to be going fast and find a corner because you won't make it! Plenty of other things to do to it before messing with performance too much.

Sorry to hear that tom but at least you didn't get totally cleaned out thanks to your neighbour, thieving gits making the most if the wind to hide there noise again!

Dress them in rags and get them to ask if you get the job of the nice people will we be able to have bread with our water tonight, works every time;-) But no seriously it s just a.case of fitting in pricing as and when around everything else including child care and thats true for client and contractors these days as we are a 7 days a week society now.

84k, that's a lot of chipping to pay that off!

Same as ham, normally a good time to catch people in but always start by asking if it's convenient to talk, call in etc. Often end up taking 1 of my kids out with me and combining a pricing run with a trip to swimming pool or ice cream place.
