    Tree snapped clean off at the base and landed on a kiddys nursery so we called in some big hydraulics to stop it damaging anything else like the conservatory, boiler house, electric line, shed and classroom it was lying on. Went so smoothly with a crane that could lift 3.5ton at 17m[emoji16]

    [emoji106]Yes please

    Shame they don't do a 8 ton machine with the same ethos as that'd suit a lot of us needing a capable but compact machine.

    Will you be selling at the apf Rob as got a few things I'd like to pick up inc one of these?

    Thank foook that's been done, was getting hassle to do it again but just haven't got the time or the inclination to do more rope access strimming than we already have this year. Stunning views on that job along the river ain't it.

    Is that a mini beast shredder or a chipper?

    Farmi winch this time somehow managed to chew the main Shaft so the drum would no longer slide back off the clutch so had to strip it last night and get a new one in and bushes on the inside of the drum.

    Thought about something like this for our botex trailer when I've got the tipper fitted to the back but decided viability and capacity made it too much of a compromise.

    Deadwooding big limes yesterday with a very tight timescale on a development site so went big and got a 37m mewp in and had a double picker day.

    Shame it's not a bit bigger as seriously thinking of going down the 6 - 8 ton size for various jobs. Looks a good machine for someone.

    200hrs and ours was almost a hole so had the back cut out and a full length piece of 4mm rolled so I could weld it in, which is how it should have been from day one really, apparently we were chipping too much big timber and had rolers to fast so too much chip hitting it.

    ?F,ING hope not! Had a look at it and seems good at moment.

    Thought I'd post a update on our cherrypicker here, some might know we have had a few problems with the engine gearbox and transfer box resulting in getting them all reconditioned at rather a lot of coin then finding the front diff was knackered as well so while it was in bits I replaced some damaged panels and gave her a Spruce up and some new cab protection which hopefully will save the windscreen and bonnet from stray branches. Should turn a few heads now [emoji106]

    Yeh oops its costly visiting these places. Soon the office answer will be reviled one and for all Apparently

    No the 260 was ours, bought from global, electric controlled roler spools with a long lead on so good for crane feeding as someone can stand well back if feeding with a digger or in cab if feeding with same tractor it's on, it's a nice sound simple machine and preduce lovely flake chip. http://masonwoodchippers.com/listing/farmi-ch260-woodchipper-p74/

    Easy to overload your rear accele with a schliesing especially a 550 which is why a lot of people front mount, the farmi might have its failings but kept sharp it chips as well as anything else and is light and compact to carry, John Mason still has my old one for sale at a good price. For front mount it really depends on if you want to go din plate mount or have front links, the din plate means it's close coupled so easier at junction and less leverage on front but generally quite high to feed but linkage gives the option to swap onto the back if you also have a reversing box for the pto and it can be dropped onto the floor but might struggle to blow back over the cab.

    Pm sent

    Yes and they basically all said not interested, that's 3 company's. One for machines, one covering 2 landrover and one for tractor and Rb44 Basically leaves it with the benefit of a better chance of getting my gear back and working faster. Going to get big bills for cherrypicker repairs out the way and see how we look towards end of quarter.
