RB44 project, conversion to suit my work requirements.
Gray git replied to TotalTreeCall's topic in Arb-Trucks
Looking good that man! Thought you was mad when you told me about this a few weeks back but you have pulled it off :thumbup: sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile. -
We suspect originally hit by lightening but unfortunately in a location where it couldn't be left standing but will be left to do its own thing on the ground. Bottom was particularly soft which even with the winch pulling made felling of the pole a little interesting. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Stunning place your in bud, hope you get a good kip and a good treck in the morning, your in about the only other place in the UK I'd live other than north north Yorkshire. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

That scorpion harvester looks strange after so many years of more convenient looking machines. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Between august and bixler iv been inspired to do more video and actually lurn how to edit them and make something of the footage rather than just taking up memory on the computer. Next project is to try some saw mount shots like you use to good affect! But don't think I quite have the gonads to strap the gopro to a tree top and fell it off.....yet sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

A few from last week's sycamore we had to take down, quite a nice 1 showing the transition between decayed timber affected timber and timber yet to be affected. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Having quite a landy/winch fest over the last few weeks! Looks nice in that part of the world today. Going to have to get some of that reflects on my winch, definitely says get out of my way! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Shirley not, won't fluffy grinding on the surfaces be more of a fire risk than a solid stump mostly buried in the ground? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

That grinder looks like it's prepared for extreme terrain or to work near very careless sawyer s sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Ah your favourite, shoveling. Is that a stihl chainsaw I spy? I though stealth was purely nordic husky :what: sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Can you put a link up to your website or an email so I can pass it on to a client who is looking to get a new trailer and crane to sort timber in the biomass yard ready for me too chip it and thinning extraction around the estate. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Lovely work, lodes of expression in it. Is it a stump or a full tree? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Brakes are fine once I had a series landrover expert set them up with a slight bias to compensate for the typical pull to one side, steering is fine apart from the belt has stretch to the end of the adjustment so slips a bit unless your moving, will fit new belts as soon as I have a quiet maintenance day. Truck is best advertising iv ever spent money on, often get people taking a picture on a phone then get a call later saying they spotted it. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Bloke I deal with dries it by the container load, had a 400kw 'i think' boiler heating water that go's into a heat exchange hot air blower and can cope with 4 containers of green woodchip and dry it to >25% moisture in 48hrs, can't hold your hand infront of the blower it's so hot. Now experimenting with arb chip with leaf in it as supplied 2 1mega Wat boilers that can cope with hog wast through the feed system but don't like v dry stuff like processed pallets. Shame I don't know any1 with a small grader as separating the mulcher into fine conditioner grade, woodchip and oversized rubbish would make whole lot more marketable. I know what your saying about the smaller systems being more fussy both with fines and oversized hence why they get air dried g30 chip only. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

A lot of parts are common to other vehicles but some are unique but are obtained from a selection of dealers. Mine is right had drive. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

2.3 tones, had it full of sycamore chip and with all gear in came in at 4.9ton +750kg chipper sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

No worries Steve, I like hearing a bit of the history of the trucks. Ic, had clutch slave seals pop so replaced that a water hose and a bit of wiring to sort, normal degrading with age I guess but nowt ells so far, been running it coming up 18month and keep on top of oil changes, greasing props and swivels etc. Averaging about 22-24mpg as tend not to flog on too much. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Look like hornbeam spruce too me, or possibly just Norway spruce sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

I also have a stihl 1 which hardly ever gets used these days and could be for sale if offered something sensible and could take to arb show if going. Safety cut out is a must. Nearly has both wrists broken by a hydraulic 1 when I was doing my aprentaship. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Luckily his own saw but still blamed me as id retune ed it that morning so it would tick over and not just stop when not at full chaff. Also seen a 261 take itself for a walk across a road infront of a truck, now have a no leaving saws ticking over on the ground policy! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Looks an interesting place to work. Better to drop a silky than watch a groundsmans 440 vibrant itself over the edge and into a canal :eek: sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Sorry johny I'll let you off then. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Seb don't look happy but bet he deserved it. Big toys making life easy for you again, excellent! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Hope to have found a new home for my chip if I get the new yard next month, local company has a big biomass drying plant so will take it by the container load, dry it to about 28% and run the 1mega what boiler s on it blended with g50 chip. Probably also get a pile of very leafy stuff going for mulch. 0% waste = maximum profit or that's the theory anyhow. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Done it and passed it on too quite a few not on here as I run all my saw on aspen nowadays and feel this can only be a positive thing in encouraging others too do the same. Also make running my colman petrol stove cheaper as that's on blue bottle 4t aspen. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
