Anybody done a full bed length toolbox as been considering this when I rebuild my grafter body so it runs down 1 side half hight for long items like pole saws can be kept out of the way.
-
That grapple saw looks like it will be a big help making some of the dodgy cuts for you.
-
Having trouble uploading pictures at moment saying files to big even when I've tryed knocking my camara onto its lowest resolution settings it won't go then randomly it'll allow one on, any ideas?

If our was out with her I wouldn't be wasting a second of her company on here, enjoy bud.

Give a good lump to tax man 1st probably then pay off a good chunk of my mortgage or try and buy my yard.
-
Crap mask and you spend half your time burning holes in your gloves and in my case through glove finger to bone all because I couldn't see what I was doing properly with a cheap crappy mask.
-
I'll be quite honest and tell anyone the problems we have had and the reason it's now basically a new machine with all the upgraded parts fitted rather than the substandard machine we were 1st sold, if I hadn't needed a bigger higher volume machine I'd still be happily running it. None of the problems were individually a major thing and apart from 1 never stopped us working it was the way it was dealt with by persons I believe are no longer with the company that really got me going.

Our brakes have a substantial box around them as protection so sure you could fabricate something like it on yours
-
Yip, had a vermeer with a single and timber it was brilliant but conifer or thorn it just chewed at and annoyed me. Not fancy a lovely vertually as new st8 at a big discount off new to really deal with some stuff as my one is still for sale [emoji56] can't blame a bloke for trying
-
Don't have green valtra that was borrowed of a friend a 8150 and that also handles it fine as a heavy tractor with lots a bottom end grunt.
-
It's 150 hp but boosts to 160 something in top gears for road work, handles it no problem and feels very stable unlike when we had it on the massy. Never managed to had more than 9.5 ton on it over the scales which is nice to know your not overloading the rated capacity if these 11 ton units. It's a long rig so thinning extraction can be a bit fun but pick your way carefully and it's manageable. Bonus is it can easily carry 2 bays of 2.5m so like last year when I was extracting from a mixed woodland I could get softwood chip on the front and Hardwood firewood on the back so avoiding going over the same ground twice. Nothing like these botex for big Hardwood as the pins lift out from the edges so you can get bigger stuff than you can deadlift onto the bed and plop the pins back in easily.
-
Vertually the same but a 570tl crane to give me a little more reach, electro hydraulic controls so we don't have to lift a heavy valve block while doing a balancing act on the link arms and a little modification so we can drop the timber grab and fit a clam shell grab for loading chip and grindings.
-
Yours for 7.5k but only till next week as new trailer comes and if it's not sold by then it go's back to wilsons in part exchange as ain't farting around for months with tire kickers.
-
Don't fancy buying my botex off me with brakes already fitted [emoji6]
-
Ah got you, hadn't read the other thread. I do think quality of work slips within these large companies and they price with the view they can only turn a profit on extras charged at an extortionate rate and if this does not happen then they are fooked. Just look at fountains, till hill where have they gone now even balfors at one time they were so many of them it was easier to spot than Eddie stobarts but round here it's only now amey vans everywhere so who knows.
-
Metaphorical wild fire or are they setting fire to other companies, care to explain
-
That's about the most sensible concise reason for a purchase decision I've read on here for a long time, keep us informed how you find it compared to the 130 with the extra hp and I hope it helps speed things up a bit for you and no little scrotes get to this one. [emoji106]

Don't know about the chipper much as actually didn't know they did it till I looked at your post but I've used the 150s and cracking machines, as for the engine it's the same as on our grinder which is quite a grunty little thing and picks up speed very well so what you may loose it torque you will gain in speed of rpm recovery, not convinced of fuel economy as last week on 7hrs of grinding I used nearly 40ltrs of fuel so I'd definitely be stacking up brash and having a mad chip up rather than leaving it running and feeding as you cut. Any particular reason you wet for the petrol version?
-
Does anyone hire out things to collect chip and logs
Gray git replied to Charleton Chips's topic in General chat
Charging for it will be a fine balance between it being worth it for yourself and for the contractor not to think they will deal with it the normal way because in most cases someone taking on bigger jobs is also going to have the resources to shift the arisings themselves although actual disposal can be the decider. To some smaller businesses the decider might be being able to drop a Roro in there yard to fill over a few weeks of small jobs instead of going off to multiple tip sites then back to yard its a simple rtb and empty each night. -
Built like a tank but only single feed roller so won't pull in as well as a twin but will outlast most others if it's built like the larger machines
-
Little modification to the chipper recently making some much stronger mudguard that stop road dirt spraying up the insides and can be lent on a lot better.
-
Think it should be a warranty recall as we were miss sold a product with false information about future changes [emoji848] [emoji12] Saying that I have added highlights to my machine with the lift ram, safety bar and guard around the levers now being orange.

At last got it to load
