  1. Good to meet you too at last, steady ride home with that big lump following me along the road. You left just before Aaron ended up flat out in that muddy puddle he was so enjoying splashing in, now that would have been a good photo. My wife likes the 1 of the 2 off us, happy boys out playing with their toys. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  2. Early chip body on my 130, lid lifts up and the wings are hinged so fold up to hold open the top, all from old reclaimed road signs. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  3. Going too be 3 lanes soon so having to clear everything for the extension works. They have had a johndeer forwarder with bruks chipper on the job for last few weeks. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  4. Split oak dismantle at the side of the road, nice clean but was worth having away in 1 bit so winched it up the ramps. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  5. Thought that stop go had speed restrictions on them now or that might just be a local thing? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  6. Richmond surrey or richmond north Yorkshire? If it's Yorkshire I'd be interested in talking to the new owner about having a watch of it working as would like to upgrade the rg13 this year. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  7. If you are lifting lots of small stuff don't over fill the grab because most don't maintain pressure so can open slightly and you end up with a big game of pick up sticks, stay away from low branches as it's surprising how smaller branch it takes to rip a pipe of without you noticing. When unloading watch you don't pull the bolsters out as the rest of the load can spill. Smooth slow multi lever movement is more productive and better for the machine than fast thrashing about with lots of revving. Always turn towards you exit while empty and load on the way out, less chance of getting stuck that way and easier to see backwards when empty. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  8. That could have been me, it's the stop switch of a t540xp, ordered if from my local dealer for a whole 12quid ish, all you need to do is swap 1 of the spade connections on the saw to a larger size (halfards) and push it back into the housing. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  9. RGB forestry has 1 working ahead of a forwarder mounted chipper clearing the sides of the A1 near me at the moment, so much more control than hand cutting especially on the banking s. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  10. Is that a 90, was it from near Durham looks fermilier? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  11. To give you an idea, the 16" hiziohack I use will fill to spilling out a 18 m grain trailer in just shy of 20 min. If it were me I'd chip up too about 8" and lead out the timber in long lengths. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  12. The l200 still has a payload for its GTW but I think the rear wheels will be overloaded well before he reaches that. Something to consider is the hight of your chipper spout as if it's high like my quadchip you could end up having to aim the chip down but if like the 2nd picture of the arborist 150 with a lower spout you can fire flat or even slightly up then you can pack the chip up against the headboard which is where you want the most weight. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  13. Wish I'd known that yesterday, slave cylinder for clutch possibly? Failing that a few more photos. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  14. It's in Poland and they won't post so that's a little awkward for starters, looks ok for a hobby/part time cutter. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  15. Depending on which side your at I could loose it for nowt in Richmond for you or its john wades at around 12quid a ton I think. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  16. Possible not a great demand for this 1 but as you say 3998 for almost every 1 involved in treework, 5837 for anyone involved with trees on construction sites and 1 on planting who's no. I forget that I've been told to work too but never seen. Sham members of the arb association can't get a package of all the relevant information for a reasonable cost like the health and safety products. 100quid for a download is just criminal in my opinion. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  17. This is my mates l200 that was done by someone in Wolverhampton, tidy job aswell but heavy. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  18. It is a poor do when local authorities specify that works have to be done in accordance with something that they have never seen or as 1 I spoke to recently, didn't even know that bs3998 had been revised in 2010 :-/ Also had clients ask to look at copies when trying to explain that works should be carried out to bs...... and not just hacked. The high cost for what is just a few sheets of paper or a costless download is ridiculous and makes trying to work to it and promote professional standards harder, if it was less even say £50 surely they would sell more copies an thus make more from its existence?? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  19. A few from when it was 1st made, had it done about a year now and apart from 1 little dint from a big log no problems. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  20. I'll second that mitch, he did the body on my rb44 and soon to be doing a trailer as well, we'll happy with the quality of work and the price! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  21. I am currently walking into the village wearing shoes that are too small whilst listening to Radio 2 and intend putting myself in the stocks for the rest of the day to be pelted with rotten vegetables by disgruntled rustics, as a way of paying my debt to The Grammar Police and cleansing myself. I'm on my way with some rotten stuff to lob sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  22. Are we allowed to guess and play hotter /colder? I'll start giant cheese board, or bed head. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  23. I'm not, just ordered mine for a job iv got coming up in a graveyard with over 80 trees to work on and pedestrian access only so long drags but on paths, in theory this 1 job could pay for it if it's as good and saves as much time as I hope sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  24. Drive safe bud, How's the rb hold up against the bang tidy even if it's 20 years it'd senior. I spotted J B has found the perfect place to hang his Stanley mug, just watch out when changing into 4th gear as I got fingers trapped between cup and stick, :eek: sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  25. Even better, a 20"on a 390xp but I'll let you have a few more points for the rap handle sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
