    Niewladow. (i think!) 2nd Polish trailer I’ve got, can’t see any difference in quaility tbh, Al-co hitch and aspcock lights - same as on the higher priced brit and scandi trailers. Steel ramps under the deck, winch, wheel chocks etc.

    No trees suffered today, 1200km round trip to pick up a new trailer. Polish brand, half the price of a new ifor/Brian James over here, see how it does!

    Good to hear! Im still impressed at the over the phone diagnostic i got from GM years back over an old, used machine, not even purchased from a main dealer or still in the UK! How you finding the 150? Diesel? Looks good in Black!

    Generally single wheels have a higher "legal" load rating, but in real world work, don't handle the weight as well as the duals do (sways about more) A 3,5t double cab WILL be over loaded, so might as well try and be a little safer and go duals

    What are you asking for for that Mick? More out of curiosity than seriousness

    I heard the standard Echo 1/4 10" bar is just a rebadged Sugihara, any truth in this? Certainly looks like a Sugi, lasting well too.

    Re-evaluate your insurance policy, read the fine print (all of it), make sure EVERYTHING is covered, and upgrade/change provider if needed. If Arbsafe is still running, register everything with pics and serial numbers on there. good record for you knowing what you've got if nothing else

    Seems obvious Ty. you want to run legal Either get a 3.5 tonner and chip no more than 2m3 at a time Or get a 7 tonner and brim it full without worrying. get rid of 4 times the amount of waste at a time 7tonner seems the obvious choice

    Don't see a problem to climb it, drop crotch it with a silky, then nip in the remaining with secateaurs. or batter it

    Of the few large firms i know over here, when times are good, they politely turn away small jobs/enquiries, when work is thin on the ground, they'll be less picky with smaller enquiries/domestic stuff. Those that rely on the smaller domestic stuff, should i guess, just be greatfull the big boys aint interested/competing against them most of the year.

    New hilux time! 2.8 motor, 3500kg towing at last

    Great result Lux! Fingers crossed for you now Not a forst fan either, but Arb talk post or not I reckon they’d still have replaced the chipper. take the old one, retrofit the newer modifications re-sell a few k cheaper as ex demo, and they’ll still be thousands in profit Consumer law was always in Luxs favor, they know that, they’re not stupid

    Is the Stihl bar a straight swap Matty? Chain too? (got the narrow Echo 1/4 10" bar and chain) Ive a couple of new 150T bar and chains, but no 150 anymore

    Didn't know Först went to the same business school as Timberwolf

    thanks! and thanks for the feedback Jonathan, mike and a a swede in Finland, ordered one and paid the deposit today ive had a look at some of your vids Slack nice type of work. any chance of some pictures of the logbullet on your 16’ ifor? Is it possible to have the headboard fitted?
  19. josharb87
    Ive the 2511 on a 10", think its a great combo! (mainly pruning and small fells/trees with small diameter branches) Theres no way i'd consider running a 14" on a standard saw.
  20. josharb87
    A425 is 245x200mm infeed A540 is 210x190mm whats the Först?
  21. josharb87
    Thanks, Ive spoken to Big J a little too, i rent in my mate with his alstor 3 days a month on average, sometimes a Kranman bison, and have changed my approach to jobs because of these machines, now he's selling id ideally like a 2nd hand logbullet, but they're not exactly easy to come by, got a quote from Pekka, just need to make a decision! Whats the trailer in your first picture on this thread? looks ideal

    Jensen Schliesing JBM Probably a load more too
  23. josharb87
    Great to hear! Has any of the breakages been "warranty" issues? if so, how have they been resolved? do you foot the labour cost yourself? I can imagine you are pretty slick on it by now, a mate has an Alstor (that he's selling hence my interest in Logbullets now) when he first got it it was painfull to see him drive! What size trailer do you have?
  24. josharb87
    Hows things going Mike? Any problems with the machine? Shortcomings? Any extras you could do without or wish you had?
  25. josharb87
    Most likely due to Först! the Först company - as i understood was created after Redwood, who were the sole importers of Jensen, got the hump when Jensen opened up their UK market to other dealers. Redwoods son(?) set up his own chipper make, Först. Hence their stark resembelance to Jensen machines Its a real shame you've had so many problems, i was looking forward to an off the shelf, decent hp, 8" machine.
