Well done mike! -
Nah, no way, the tippers bed is 3.6x2m, plus draw bar etc. the logbullet is 5x1.8m the decks about 2.5m long
-
IMO it suits arborist work, (over here and for my type of work anyway) far better than loaders. For me loaders only exceed at lifting heavy oversized bits - Those trees are pretty rare here now. The stems on the trailer are pretty average diameter of tree i take down. About 4,5m long the logs were just over one load on the machine, i think the branches from the 4 trees was 5 loads and no shuffling the machine about to grab and collect like a loader. I went back the day after to grind the stumps, you couldnt tell it'd been in there. The only real downside is the trailer used to transport it aint a tipper!
-
The machine weighs about 1.8 ton, I use the beaver tail car transport trailer for the machine, load the logs (as in the picture) on the trailer then roll them off later
-
No different to a multione or avant, except lower ground pressure, and less runs!
-
4 birches before lunch. logbullet proving to be a great asset, shifting the branches to the chipper then the logs from the larger 2 (the smaller stems were cut to firewood rounds)
-
I’ve used one for tree work, (here in Sweden) great little helper despite its size. Wasn’t the 220 tho, maybe 214 (smaller hp) the smaller the machine the better you need to be at presenting/stacking the material for it Check out Viking arbor on Instagram, they’ve a few pics of there’s working to give you an idea of what it’ll do

Timber crane mounted hydraulic winch
josharb87 replied to KH1's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Sounds reasonable value. I think the winch on the logbullet is just 600kg and 1500 euros, it is remote controlled mind. Its incredibly usefull. -
Ouch! I partially severed a tendon in my thumb a few years ago, lengthy recovery time of 3 months, still get the occasional unexplainable pain but made a good recovery. Don’t be tempted to get back at it early, yes you might win, but you might fukk things up royally!

Any experience of the boxer towing? very flat here, would be towing 2400-2500kg need another vehicle and would be handy to have a large van capable of occasional towing, the boxer/jumper has 2500kg rated tow hook and relatively cheap yet presentable pic attached of what I’m interested in. 2.2 diesel (yes I know it’s not ideal but don’t want to invest too much in a 3rd vehicle just yet) Other large vans I’ve considered but discounted: crafter/sprinter/transit is 2000kg transit 350 is 2800kg but rare iveco very rare not possible/CBA to look into uprating the weights here

It’s only been a few days, end(!) of a pandemic and holiday time, I’m sure TW will reply soon enough. could be that someone forgot to set their auto reply email that the dog is sick so reply’s might be delayed. yes they might reply quicker if you wanted to buy a machine or if it had exploded but it hasn’t, a bolt has broken on a 2nd hand machine presumably not purchased through their dealer network. tw aren’t really on the forum but do seem to reply if you post in their own section (I guess they get email (haha) notifications) sounds like you’re getting good communication from their dealer (?) green plant and Gareth though 🤷♂️

I bet! “big” chippers make the job so much easier
-
I do hope you shifted that log out with a machine and not hand balled it out!
-
How much did you want for that chipper again?! 😆
-
Hi @lux, Did everything go as planned with Först? How are you liking the 55hp TR8?
-
A mate brought one of these, 10k Euro. he’s happy with it, fits on the back of his double cab pickup, he then tows a 6m3 tipping trailer i’ve used it once but nothing to compare it too
-
How much would you earn with a manager in charge per month/year How long would it take to earn, under the manager’s management of the company, what your kit is worth 2nd hand? do you plan on returning to the uk? unfortunately IMO the goodwill gesture on top of the kits value is canceled out by the self employed staff. If they want, they can leave without notice, their replacements perhaps not as effective or knowledgeable of your pricing/work methods could lead the work booked in as a loss maker. plus the little issue that they should really be on the books could be a very expensive journey for the new owner…
-
Its overpriced and shite, look for something else. Tbh, unless you've already got a chipper and only do small pruning id look for a more efficient setup/vehicle.
-
-
Yep die backs here too, advice is to pollard. Shame as Ash is red listed too yep, value for money pruning joe!
-
Pruned an ash today 2 up, 2 rigging systems, myself and the logbullet on the ground
-
Fitted a new grinding wheel to the bandit, the old one had elongated a few of its pocket thread holes making tightening the pockets an arse -the rocks here give the grinder a hard life. took the opportunity whilst the backing plate was off to fit the updated belt tensioner and beef up the backing plate mount too. Just a full service to do now
-
Agreed Day rate would mean paying for the 4 days Mark, asking for day price, multiplying it by the estimated time - 3 days, and locking the price is now a fixed price.
-
Why’s the whole day written off? surely getting it stuck and realizing it was stuck wasn’t more than an hour, could they not have done something on rope and harness? should still be 6-7 invoiceable hours. Machine recovery is unfortunately your problem

Vermeer BC 190 XL thoughts/experiences?
josharb87 replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Large equipment
What about from another EU country? Should just be a case of new plates should it not?
