  1. ours is lifted, has a box on the back and around 500kg kit in, including the box at all times, 25mpg, under 20mpg when towing 2.3 tonne trailer and chipper combo, slower road speeds here too
  2. sounds like a great break! sure you hadnt been smoking?? needs to be scandinavia preferably though:001_smile:
  3. cheers tobias, been googling it, looks pretty cool! any place names rich? is finland good too? we were thinking 4 days, 3 nights after travelling, so hopefully will be lucky
  4. Im sure some of you on here have seen them, where did you go? where did you stay? january or febuary a good month? I have a romantisised idea of a log cabin, roaring fire, polar bear rug, hot tub, whisky and a hot scandinavian blonde (latter 2 sorted:001_smile:) so, anyone been?

  9. thats the best yet mate. . . . best by far
  10. this is something i should consider, but am hesitant being in this line of work, crazy on a motorbike, occassinal shooter, i should really be doing blood donation, anyone do this?
  11. Nice one martin:thumbup: The 660 and 880 will be singing on that willow in a few weeks:biggrin: great minds . . . knowing that burrell's already got a 25inch bar that will fit is why i suggested he get a bigger bar to use occassionally:001_cool:

  14. you'd be supprised just what a quad will do and where it will go, i used to use the honda 550 with winch everyday for 7 months on a conservation contract, awesome machines
  15. when skidding timber out last year (?) a timberwolf 150 got in the way of a recoiling rope after the redirect pullys sling snapped, the force skidded the chipper 10ft sideways across grass, mudgaurd and tail light demolished i done my professional offroad drivers course, and winching and recovery course with Venture 4x4, three holes, wisbech, they were really good 5 years ago!
  16. Mother told me not to use my full name so a paedophile cant find me and rape me
  17. Hire a teleporter with pallet forks to support the stem, chog off the building, gently lower. then load youre truck with cord with the teleporter. then to cover the hire cost, rip the root ball out with teleporter, and charge accordingly
  18. no odds to you tom, but makes a diffrence to me, i remember walking through woodlands with my father collecting pinecones to burn, taking home dead branches. if a tree fell across one of the byways or footpaths around us, or the only lane going to our house, we would clear the path and take the wood, not sit at home winging to the landowner to sort it
  19. but could the use of using thermal imaging not be practable to all tree surveys? where a picus can take hours, and core sampling imo old skool and invasive, and both only offer a specific view of the inside of a tree in the specified survey point, the thermal imaging takes minuites, highlighting potential demons in the whole tree. i think thermal imaging could be deemed reasonable . . .
