    I’ve got a 10 reg Shogun, without towing I’m getting an average of 32mpg, towing around 20 ish mpg sometimes below depending on size of trailer. Not sure about the sport, but I can recommend the Shogun.

    I love the idea of these & they’re a great idea, but it has totally put me off having to be connected via a wire to either my belt or a backpack battery. Why on earth couldn’t they design it to hold the battery within the machine or at least have the option??

    I’ve just got a Mitsubishi Shogun to replace the navara, tried & tested 4wd system, centre diff lock, can drive on tarmac in 4wd (unlike most other jap 4wd) great for towing. Obviously not as refined as the disco but a very comfortable drive & more reliable!

    Yea I clocked this the other day. I love the idea but I'd need to sleep in the dam thing for fear of it being stolen.

    Thanks for that...yes it does have the grooves! I'll give them a bell. Cheers

    I've bent the rear leg on my HPM360 tripod. I've tried Work Wear (the sole importer) but unfortunately they have none in stock apparently a load came in from China without the claw feet. My question is are the Henchman ladders legs compatible with the standard tripod? I'm lead to believe they are built in the same factory in China....can anyone confirm?!

    Yep bit of a game changer. Got the Oregon long handled pick and husky tongues recently....WOW Why I didn't get them years ago I don't know but my god it saves the back. Well worth the small investment, I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone shifting logs around.

    I reckon the Peruzzo was the original. All these companies seem to be a bit incestuous...look at Predator and Laski
  9. Scott Farmborough
    Yes I've clocked this as well. Looks pretty much identical apart from the hopper! I've got a funny feeling it's the same machine as the CS100...which to be honest will make me pretty pissed off as I brought the greenmech last year at considerably more money.

    Just looking at this machine, price seems reasonable. I'm currently running a Jensen 530 & wondered how it would compare? Any reviews would be welcomed.

    I've got a couple of spare blades in the yard knocking about if your interested?
  12. Scott Farmborough
    Dosko I reckon

    I've just got a new one! Not as wide as a transit or Iveco but it does have a longer body at just over 12ft. 5 year warranty, limited slip rear diff. Plenty of power, good with load although a bit bumpy without. Make sure you get mwb, twin rear wheels. I got a factory tipper but I'm having it converted to an arb spec back in August for £4k ish.

    Cheers fella, makes perfect sense👍 Didn't think about opening the hopper🙄
  15. Scott Farmborough
    Cheers for the offer mate👍 Will give the other guys ideas a bash first!
  16. Scott Farmborough
    Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated. They are a quite ungainly top heavy machine.
  17. Scott Farmborough
    No tie down points internally...but was something I was going to! Will try your idea, cheers

    I've only had the machine for about a month & love it to bits! My only issue is keeping it secure on the trailer which is an Ifor Williams P6. Now I'm using 3 ratchet straps properly secured to the front, back & middle...but every time I get to where I'm going it's moved & the straps are loose. I'm not going down the root of the specific trailer greenmech make for it I obviously want to carry on using the ifor. So does anyone have any tips regarding securing it?!?

    Boots are so personal...whats good for one might not be for another, the same with harnesses. Now I like the airstreams, they fit my feet great & I also liked haix but I detest the p fanners big & clumpy!! I've given up listening to recommendations on personal kit spent a fortune on stuff in the past & been very disappointed, one example is the Clark cut & climb....overhyped I reckon & not for me. But that's my personal view, others say very different.

    One regret I've got I didn't manage to get up to the mountains in a 4x4. I've had really packed couple of days and flying out this morning. Lack of trees is amazing...it's nice to get away from them to be honest.

    Spending a few days in Iceland! Thought I'd share a couple of pics

    That was a good price. What model was it? Mines got 60k with a fsh on an 07 King cab SE Maybe mines worth more than I think?
  23. Scott Farmborough
    Fed up with that one as well 👏👏👏
  24. Scott Farmborough
    If you listened to every horror story out there regarding motors you wouldn't buy anything. I think it's a case of getting your facts absolutely clear and taking most things written on the net with a pinch of salt!

    Do you mean d22 or d40?
