Unclear if you're looking for a pickup or a tipper? Business doing well? Either way, and especially if a tipper, If you can't find a tidy used one, then buy new. Either replace it when the warranty/finance finishes - 3 years, or run it into the ground, then repeat. No point paying for it outright, you'll still have to write it off on the books over X years. (My accountant explained it to me but forgotten most of it, that's the gist of it though) Interesting comment about arriving in a shiny new vehicle putting customers off. My old boss (in the UK) had an oldish 5k Saab, many commented on "how hes doing well for himself" but turn up in a brand new 30k sign written tipper, and no one notices! New vehicle you can also advertise on socialmedia/website that you care about emissions and want to be running to the highest emission standards Choose a popular one, and you won't loose too much over 3 years. (here, Sweden, Hiluxes hold their money VERY well, Mitsubushi l200's depreciate horrendously quickly)

Try £24500 PLUS VAT in Sweden ?

I priced up the woodland vs logosol the other day, done a price comparison chart and everything! the logosol was twice the price than the same spec woodland with same extras

It was either flush cutting a eucalyptus or topping a line of ash ? hand me down willans t22 and a tow strop (before I done any Arb course!)

Well I should have brought a dremel years ago! £70 inc all the bits Similar to the die grinder you mentioned mike but better for the diy user according to the internet no adjustment on the springs available

I'll go get a dremel and give that a go before making more work for myself if its that good

I'll get a dremel, thought id do a proper job seeing as not back at work yet. Plus the inlaws are in the house for a few days

Cheers mike I’ll give that a go Yeah that’s what I was trying to do, looked like it should!

Any help appreciated for roller removal on a 540? (Thought id give them a sharpen after lending out the machine ?) Top roller, springs removed, grub screw removed, can't see anything else, but the knives don't slide off or budge at all, given them a tap and a bit of a lever, but am i missing something? or is a puller best bet?

Except for if your commercially towing....

Looks like a tropical hardwood

Followed by Christmas buffet for subbys and their other half’s. Pics taken at the end of the night so as not to be on the phone/ask permission. Nice venue though!

Last day for the year, felling a few stems and shifting the wood

So why comment on a post for consultants? Why comment at all if you’ve no interest in the job? Good luck Ligna Consultancy

I would guess that he went in (via his lock which I'm guessing is one of the bottom 3, hence his predicament) someone came in (or out or in and out!) after (through their lock) and has "tightened" the loop when re-connecting their lock, effectively rendering the three lowest locks unless for being able to come in or out. Following?

Have another look at the picture, the bottom 3 locks aren’t doing anything. Only the top two are making a loop

Snap!

All depends on the operator, and access. first time i worked with one, 8? years ago, it was painfully slow. The right operator however and they're very effective. Take the jib off if not needed to speed things up. Been a while since i last hired one in, done the work of 3 men who would have taken 1.5 days with a high risk of damage, in a couple of hours. With next to no cleanup (lowered straight into containers on the hook lift)

Just use a regular soft link, larksfooted. when the shit hits the fan, they break

Out of curiosity, what is the next chipper up? over 750kg, 35hp+, price?

An island called Tjockö off the Swedish coast near Stockholm

Island job today and rest of the week, 3 boats pushing the barge at a blistering 4 knots, still clearing up storm damage from January. good day for wildlife, white tailed sea eagle soared overhead, upto2.4m wingspan and can live to 40 years! Plus some elk on the way home (no pics, driving)

Steel viper import morbark now as I understand a crane fed 3,5t chipper would be ace

I get on well with Stihl advance gtx boots and woolpower socks. if really cold I’ve some hiking socks that has a thin inner sock and a thick outer one. Pretty expensive but works!
