  1. A few from this week, Extreme rope access strimming all the way down to the road. With lovely views Failed sycamore Landowners couldn't understand why it fell apart..... Bit of flailing with the side arm A very lucky windblown sycamore to miss all the lines /20171026/4f453715632169cc45102054c4e01d8e.jpg[/img] Not your normal forwarder load, a 14ft stump
  2. Our street truck it's getting know as, get a bit of sign writing done next week should make it look a bit better for now.
  3. Another van added to the fleet this week, 1st time I've had something that's not 4x4 as a workhorse, pulls the bandit well so that fine by me. Had to codge some sides on as a temp effort till we can spare some time to build a lighter alloy body for it but all really had to modify with a full lid as 90 lobs chip that hard it was bouncing out everywhere. Put it on the scales today and 2720kg with me in it so not as bad as I feared.
  4. Sad isn't it the next generations will never experience the joy of finding a discarded jazz mag nd sneak it into school to share with there mates. Internet has killed that.
  5. Looks bigger than my bandit 90! Might just be with it being on sing axel. Let us know how she go's
  6. Dead rabbit hit with a mulching blade on a strimming job left an interesting smell in the air. Plenty of dog shit, a few sharps over the years. Working for the MOD on the Moor top training grounds you actually get briefed on what to do if you find human remains as it's believed that when several missing persons have been put, luckily not found any yet and hopefully never will!
  7. Don't know what it'll be going for but sounds like the same as a bandit 90xp Mason's woodchippers have this 1 in at moment which might be worth a look as you know you will have the back up from global for it. http://masonwoodchippers.com/listing/bandit-90xp-woodchipper-m514/
  8. Almost like our apprentice forgetting to engage the chipper clutch and just firing up the rpm and packing the chamber solid with lime shoots and I mean solid!
  9. Should do you proud jonny
  10. It's a herber-fermex I think
  11. Blowing with some decent gusts up at the top of Yorkshire now, was interesting bringing the tractor back along the a66 with gusts and wagons weaving around.
  12. Always thought that these were a good concept for a pto grinder giving reach across stuff like fences or ditches
  13. Good work and well done doing it, I hate graveyard jobs! Not picking falt as you have explained already why but don't you think it slightly wrong to be damaging the bark and cambium on another tree by using it as the friction device, surely if that's your control choice use the tree being removed and not risk basically ring barking another.... Ps like the little mog.
  14. Looking like we will just catch the edge but who knows as these things seem to be a bit unpredictable and can change. Ironic as we are 30 years from the great storm as in another thread we could get another!
  15. I like the look of extending legs for bankside work and unloading off your truck with pissing around with ramps. Looks very good specs, shame your not in our area.
  16. That'll have a nice little price tag to it, had a 32m tracked in not long ago and had to insure it for 110k and it came on a low loader. Looking forward to seeing some pictures when it arrives.
  17. Wasn't old enough to really care at the time but how different would the approach to dealing with the problems caused be now, would all the beurocrasy we deal with as a given normality now go out the window so we could just deal with it or would every site need an induction, rams and environmental impact assessment. (this isn't a did at those just thinking out loud) The firewood market would take a hammering with the availability of downed timber needing to be shifted. I guess with chippers being far more widely available big fires would be a lot less likely and more of the arisings would be reclaimed as a result. I'd also like to see how some people would cope with the transport delays in today's must get there now society as I've seen 1st hand the anger and frustration a single tree blocking a road causes to someone wanting to be past.
  18. Really intended more for forestry when you are more likely to be moving around a lot and need stuff with you and not arb where your generally near the van and any stuff you need.
  19. That's a really nice looking mb, get some more pictures up, only driven 1 for a day and always said I'd have another 1 day
  20. It is in a completely different league like Hope he won't mind me posting pictures of his machine.
  21. Not too many people make pto grinders especially for the UK, best I've seen is arbworx FAE machine but I think you'll be talking 15k for 1 like that!
  22. Some one has spent a lot of time on this one, looks tidy but the proof is in the trying, bottom end of the hp I'd say but a heavy stable tractor that can be tweaked up a bit if needed.
  23. They were never the heaviest on the front end, when I was a apprentice we had a 1490 4x4 on the estate as a winch tractor, so I learned to steer on the brakes very quickly.
  24. Can see by your front tires why you need it, a little on the. Light side
