Tidy looking picker, you will find more uses than you'd imagined for her, takes a little getting used to getting your position rite for setup to optimise your reach with how the boom works. Get a sheet of 15 or 20mm stock board and cut it down into 8 2x2' squares as outrigger pads for softer ground and get rid of the heavy steel shoes you've got on the body in picture.

Keep in contact if you get it as a wagon might be an option to fetch it down for 3 or 4 days work if it's going to make turning what is basically wast at the moment into a salable product in a economical way.

Hopefully we can find a good quality solid flywheel from a decent manufacturer so as getting a guaranteed with it. It's because the picker has some extra brackets underneath that make getting the transmission out a bit more fiddly and bringing a td5 out forwards is quite a bit more work than getting the 200tdi out my other landy, not riding the clutch is easier said than done in a vehicle that comes in at 3.3 tons all the time and live in a area where a flat bit of road is a rarity. Like bob said sitting at just off tickover for long periods has probably given it premature where.

Tell me about it! Got it to do in 130 cherrypicker as duel mass is fubar and making some real funky noises. Garage I use is looking into a conversation kit to do away with it and get a standard flywheel into her. Apparently a 130 td5 is also a git to do with how everything is mounted.

I'd have no problem with getting you in at all and do it locally quite a bit, almost have a local cooperative of us who share gear and even staff from time to time, we work for them, they work for us and so far seems to have benefited everyone. For firewood I'd say especially easy as you're not going to site or interacting with clients just turning up at a yard doing your thing and going. How far would you be willing to travel as have a company we work with who have a lot of oversized timber they are looking at getting done. If I remember correctly your looking at a slitter for big rings rather than billets which is what they are after.

Drove past it on Thursday and it looks strange with its spiky crown on top of the tower, can't have been nice for the lads working up on top this last week with all the sleet!
-
Could do with 1 as well as local tree officer has just kicked off about a tpo application not including hights of trees.
-
Best plan I've heard all day but other way round as iv been stump grinding all day so up to the nuts in mud nd my local might not be too happy with me leaving my boots and trousers in the porch like I do at home 😜
-
Should get 1 of these, should be better on fuel at least.
-
Not far off financially but in saved effort and extra safety on some jobs we get it most definitely has although it's about to cost me about a grand for new clutch and duel mass fly wheel 👎
-
Stump grinding yesterday and the lads found a nail for me just before I arrived to do the stump and thismorning a nice failed hanging tree to get down, left a nice hanger when I felled it over but luckily had the picker so was fairly easy to get out.
-
Thought the arbtalk police were coming for you at 1.30 for 1 handing the saw 🚔 😜
-
Safety incase of snapping as limited recoil and risk if injury is anything go's wrong. I don't mind as many other benefits as lighter to dragging it around and easy to splice if it gets snapped or damaged.
-
Now that's a good plan! Never considered that as an option, easy to position exactly where needed and alter angle of pull mid way if needed. I'd love to be able to afford a hydraulic chain winch as can really see the benefits of it but not sure what some of our clients would say as speck synthetic winch lines only on some jobs (luckily not this 1) so all the front mounts on the vehicles have plasma line fitted now.
-
It's an option I'm looking at and that'd mean that the winch would be on all the time for self recovery when I next get stuck. Could easily put a remote control solenoid valve in it as well.
-
That's a real nice long version for a headphone chill. These are two of my go too tunes for a late night switch of sessions with beer in hand.
-
Took a while but found the pictures of his set up. Looks good, bit more advanced than I want but the same principle to be able to reach over crash barriers to winch up.
-
Live they can really take it up a notch, had so much fun at a few gigs with them and taking back Sunday, still want to get to see the gas light anthem live.
-
Might like some of these guy's stuff then
-
That's a cool sound, like it.
-
Cracking little set up! 👍
-
Yeh my quadchip did the same. Chipper poo 😜 Loved that little chipper and I do miss the turntable on some jobs, just wish they did a 8" version.

Tonights job Lighting the Richmond beacon for the Queens birthday. Found standing on the truck was easier to feed it than ladders.
-
Ok so would need a pump at back end nd piped to front to turn the pto, hmm was hoping to run from where a muck grab etc would plug into. Save having to take trailer on nd off and be able to reach over a roadside crash barrier for a job I've got to do.

Nobody?
