No but i can hire you a posch 30 tonne pto one but you will need a fairly large tractor to lift it It is the one with the lifting cradle
-
I just use my tipper for any bulk bags Tie the handles then tip enough to slide them off the back nearly as quick as tipping a loose load
-
I recon so or my daughters will want an ice cream , i think i may be out of pocket here , but have a happy wife and daughters mmmm

The tipper pickup holds 3 cube I think a double cab holds around 1.5 cube or there abouts She can bearly drive forwards never mind reverse with a trailer I think it is the fact that she could deliver logs on the way to the shops that did it
-
I have a chipped l200 tipper that nearly always has 3 cube of logs in it towes very well I am looking at a double cab to carry kids and wife and logs that she can deliver i do like the toyota though
-
I was a little concerned about lack of power but a chip upgrade will sort that Now the big question l200 or do i change to a toyota ???
-
Thanks , will have a demo later on in the week My brother in law has had almost 2 identical audis one manual one auto , with the auto he can get the same mpg all day long he couldnt with the manual He is getting more mpg than the manual

Does anyone use an automatic l200 or toyota for towing ? Just wondering as the wife said she will deliver logs if it is an auto

-
No never thought of that thanks

If you want to hire out you will need to have all the health and safty for it If it is home made the buck stops with you I bought a palax 8 years ago it is still worth what i paid for it I get £250 per day for hire , it wont take long to get your money back -
Homemade Firewood Processor - Got One?

They do come up on ebay sometimes Have you tried caledonian forestry , why a trailer ? do you not have a tractor ? as there are lots of options with pto power -
Did you find that you have a better profit margin when you changed over or is it just ease of handling as i am thinking of the same A local guy is doing logs by the dumpy at £10 more than my loose loads he is advertising a lot , and getting the customers He is advertising them as 1 cube , as we know that isnt so What do you recon swap over or stay put ?
-
Do you want to sell what is left of tractor I am looking for an old yard tractor and i think i know of an engine that will fit
-
I run a big ifor tipper with mesh sides on full of timber sometimes and it pulls like train , best tower i have seen Must admit though i like the look of the new toyota if it can do the same as the l200 i might be swayed
-
I have a 56 plate single cab at the moment , so far it has been very good I had it chipped from new so it has about 176 bhp i think , very quick and torque It was converted into a tipper from new , so it carries about a ton of logs almost permantly It gets driven accross stubble fields laden with timber and all i have had to replace is wiper blade 30 mpg and 70000 miles so far so good
-
Soak it in creosote in an old sheep trough
-
Thinking of replaceing my old palax with a dalen I thought i might go the generator route instead of pto Second hand tractors seem to be more expensive than a gene Does anyone have any idea if the output is any different between electric and pto on a dalen ?
-
You will find that i high hp tractor can be fairly economical if you try to keep engine revs at peak torque which is normaly around 1200 - 1500 Torque is what keeps the chipper going
