Well I was gonna quote you liking it as land rover hitting their target audience mr middle class office boy ?

Looks like yet another school run SUV landrover should rebrand to city rover

Think he means isuzu Grafter Rich

The transporter doesn’t hold weight well i run close to option 3. Biggest legal capacity weight wise and volume wise, most expensive setup too though option 2 plus the tipping trailer would be most versatile

Not fit for purpose comes to mind how many hours?

Finn that worked for Tom D? I’m looking for help mid September - Christmas maybe in the new year too but January is the new financial year and looking to take it easy. North of Stockholm If thats any interest send an email

Plenty in Europe, so it’s doable

Bear in mind the Amarok has the smallest interior of the mainstream pickups (as told by a mate who's a big fella but ended up getting one anyway!) One customer has a merc 814 box lorry for his Vimek forwarder, aims the tail lift down + some small extension ramps and drives straight up looks like a mini workshop inside too, very smart. thought of a 4x4 flatbed lorry instead? just use it specifically for the forwarder, no need for CPC even.

Looks interesting!

? So it is beneficial for the saw?

Doesn’t it make it leaner? More oil=less fuel

Why 33:1?

Why?

Not here (Sweden) unfortunately

The amarok is a nice Car, (the hilux still feels a bit more like its built to work though) a mate has one which did need the engine splitting in 2, just under warranty luckily. But when the Navara n-guard, and hilux ultimate (high/top spec models) here are about 28k +vat, its hard to justify 45k +vat for the amarok.

I like my 3ltr invincible, but often think about upgrading mainly for the need for 3,5t towing ability, navara n-guard is top of the list if I go for a new mainstream motor, better spec, warranty and can tow 3,5t

Euro -12 engine?!

Just because of the irony I reckon Bob will reverse a trailer into it today

Work out what you want to pay, either out right, or if you're going to finance. Buy as new as you can. and the size of the machine. Include 1k in your budget for ramps, gaurds, teeth and other consumables or tools you don't have (spades, rakes, blower, grease gun, socket set etc) Whats your budget for the machine?

I completely agree with your original sentiment, but the moderators are regular guys, volunteers, with their own busy lives. Make their lives easier by reporting those kinds of posts, the more there is reported, the less there is to see which will mean people are less likely to lower the tone

Have you been using the report post function?

Not sure if it helps, i recently went through a similar decision. Theres a thread about it. Looked at TW, the 230 was too lightly built, but impressive performance, 280, too wide, not enough performance for its capacity, Först, fantastic backup, terrible resale, no one that i know with a först would own one outside of warranty time. Greenmech, well a 1928 safe track would have been way up there as a machine of choice, but the green mech dealer here in Sweden has a worse than shit reputation which is a real shame as green mech products are immensely underrated imo. Briefly considered Bandit, but decided that their huge size was their downfall, i wouldn't be able to get to many trees with something that wide. So i ordered a Jensen 540T, Varitrac, with upgraded 50hp motor and hydraulic winch. Didn't opt for the spider (which includes the 50hp motor) as it was about 400kgs extra and i thought it was more to go wrong, and hadn't needed the up down feature on my previous chipper. That 400kg would also mean i couldn't have the chipper on the tipping trailer and the grinder on at the sametime (my grinder, trailer and 540T weighs bang on 3500kg) Very happy with my purchase so far, colleagues who have used it prefer it over the TW 280, and i hope it will last me many, many years. A real long term investment.

Engelbert Strauss do some, the bamboo gloves are better than the normal ones imo

The 280 is a big lump, footprint of a small car. personally I’d choose something with varitracks for tighter access jobs the timberwolfs seem to hold their money far better than försts are you financing the machine or paying cash?

I used to get twinges in my back, didn't stop me working until once it did, 2days off work. Yoga didn’t help much 13 months ago I started at the gym, 2-3 times a week, concentrating on the core (+an all round workout) for 13 months I haven’t had even a twinge i believe tree work overworks some muscles, under works others, we’re not as tough as we think we are
