  1. A few old threads, I think one was about a white one with flotation wheels that looked cool. Dunno where you'd put tools though!
  2. Full ddrt climbing kit, srt kit, rigging kit, pull rope, tool box, sharpening box, vice, chipper blade and grinder teeth box, 3 full size men at work signs, pole saw, big shot, felling kit, 660, 562, 201t, 150t, first aid, fuel etc etc
  3. With the middle floor they're about £1100+vat, just the tray about £800+vat from work system I was lucky and got a used one, supposed to be for an amorak, but cut a bit go the frame out to fit over the hilux's wheel arches and its a near perfect fit
  4. If i ever find a new style 2nd hand single cab Hilux, i'll be sending it to CPL, type approved tipper conversions https://www.cumberlanduk.co.uk/products/cpl-chipper-tipper
  5. French https://www.brenderup.com/fr/fr/remorques/remorques-benne/benne-tipper/bt2000/305908/
  6. Släpvagn is the proper generic name for trailer (common name is just släp) tippsläp is tipping trailer
  7. The specific tip trailer https://www.brenderup.com/sv/se/slapvagnar/tippvagnar/1-vags-tippslap/bt2000tb/104034/
  8. Brenderup trailers, their 1 way tipper is 1990kg gross, 1360 load and 257cm x 152cm bed From their Swedish site, but should change to your local countrys https://www.brenderup.com/sv/se/slapvagnar/tippvagnar/ A few kg's and cm's out of your spec, but bloody pretty close!
  9. Buy one, i brought one at the end of last year, and am using it twice as much as i thought, probably more I don't have gaps in the calendar, but after for example, a days subbying, ill do a few stumps, an extra hour, and double my money that day
  10. It used to be a waiting list on the Carbon ones! Try Freeworker https://shop.freeworker.com/climbing-gear/climbing-spikes/climbing-spurs.html
  11. Shouldn't be too tippy, looks like the tracks hydraulic motor powers the front rotor wheel, and clamps onto the chassis. so its not gonna tip up and down like it was if only attached to the wheel hub. i would guess its only slightly front heavy. Very innovative!
  12. Imo you atleast need to recover your hourly costs, break it down, tell him he's right, you'll do it for your basic hourly rate "seeing as we were already there" 2 guys £40 ph x 1,5 hour = £120 + additional tipp fee off £18 .
  13. What was the price of the original job and time it took? what was he price of the extra and time it took? Removal of waste for both?
  14. Worked a bit for a company that had a 27hp koler engine on a Vermeer grinder, a couple thousand hours, never serviced, was dry of oil when I checked, still ran and still does as far as I know!
  15. Have they remembered to instal the blades?
  16. Ive a 2015 3,0 auto hilux, a solid, reliable truck - it was their reputation that made me choose the hilux! First i had a flip up top, great, looks cool, but slightly too little space for me, and very, very easy to break into. So i ordered an aluminium canopy (https://www.expedition-equipment.com/product-category/4x4-bushtech-canopy-top-accessories/4x4-bushtech-canopies/) Which was actually cheaper than the plastic ones here in Sweden! Far more secure. Got a sliding tray at the same time. The tray takes up quite a bit of room but very handy. because of the sliding tray with middle floor, i only have about 50% more room than the flip up lid.
  17. Things have changed Stefan, more and more work is being done by climbing arbs, mainly on the "big" lines where trees can't be within falling distance and need reducing to specific heights. The "nature value" of leaving high (like 10meter high!) stumps and, ahem, topping trees is getting more and more important, even out in the middle of nowhere. Arb work isn't carried out by power companies but subbed out to regular arb firms. some base their business around line work, some just compliment their business with it
  18. No wonder Stefan needs a holiday, not from work thats a piece of piss for him, but from being back on Arbtalk for 5 minutes
  19. Hi Mark, Ive a mechanical wedge, brought from Treadlight Forestry, Slightly different, I don't have a pusher although used one a fair bit, I thought they were too big to just have lying about in the truck all the time. Heres a quick review i done a while back
  20. Bloody immigrants, coming over to our country, working hard, paying taxes, putting half the natives to shame..... ?
  21. Vertex vent for me, fits my big head and all ive ever had, i like it and tbh, not willing to try anything else! When i did make the jump from employee, to self employed, i did go crazy and change from white to black (the black one then sat in the cupbord for months as it looked wrong )
