  1. A 110 double cab tipper would be a smaller box than a jap crew cab tipper! - length of the 110 standard bed is under 1 meter, a double cab hilux for example is 1.5m. A crew cab defender 130 bed is only 1.8 for reference - the same as a hilux king cab, which has about the same legroom in the back as the defender Nice setup 5 Shires, works for you which is most important
  2. Thanks for posting David. Great that action has been taken. The fines are not nearly high enough imo. Its not like it was just a little bit off from the original remit. Did i really read "lopping" in the article?! It looks like the "original firm" had started a sympathetic reduction (look at 11 o'clock, and over the house) was this not enough for the client? hence them "not being able to complete the work" - kicked off the job by the client? did the client not bear any responsibility?
  3. Id go for a residential 10 week course, its a crash course covering the basics, giving you the basic qualifications needed by most employers. And if you haven't, get your BE car licence
  4. They are a generic machine, re-branded several times over. not necessarily a bad thing, plenty of stuff is re-branded. Dealer support will be the main consideration. Id be interested if you do get a price, they seem pretty expensive here ( caller Thaler)
  5. Looks very good!
  6. Crashing into the week hope the vid works this mornings fell and chip, move logs tomorrow with a mini loader. 2 smaller ones down and chipped too. 5EF3AF25-55D6-429D-A435-7CD6C5C9DCE5.mp4
  7. It’s academic and practical
  8. “D” course today, getting trees off power lines
  9. Skogsarbetare means forestry worker Pretty sure arborist has its own category now. It does on the wage statistics. Regarding the earlier post, it’s only forest worker. Forest (skog) can translate into woods but wood doesn’t translate into forest, wood is a material - trä. Wood worker would translate into carpenter.
  10. Yes, but wider wheels = more resistance and more likely to snag on something =harder work to pull imo That TCF looks rather home made tbh. And the wheels look to be set back too far?
  11. First day out with the bandit! Quite like the style trailer ive hired too Started with a few small apples then onto a chunky oak.
  12. Sorry eggs, my comedy genius has passed you by, I got the only fools and horses theme tune in my head reading your post
  13. What about V A T? do you ever give money back or a guarantee?
  14. Worth every penny imo. Only 43000miles If that was lhd and over here I’d snap it up! what do you think it’s worth @wicklamulla?
  15. Well done for completing the job! I remember when i first started, the lead climber went mental at me for cutting 30cm out then cutting the pegs off - all those little pegs need fxxxing picking up!! Pegs are unnessary and give a false sense of security, they're only good for your rope half hitching them and getting stuck, branches hanging up on them and getting stuck, stabbing your guts, face, balls when you gaff out. Ripping clothing and generally being annoying little wxxkers!
  16. I must admit Paul, I do admire your traveling around, working around, looking around ways
  17. Yep, defiantly the best tool for this job! drove inside the housing area too, along walkways, around playgrounds, nimble and no ground damage (helps the grounds frozen though!)
  18. Last weeks job plus Monday and Tuesday this week moving wood 40 odd trees down, chipped on site where possible and stems away. Plus team 2 took a break one day to rig down a dying ash, chip on site, log up rest. 8 hours total to drive the logs out (plus drove out some logs from other recent works Monday morning, loading containers tues arvo)
  19. You’re right @slack ma girdle, i dropped a log or two today exactly there! I’m sure they could be protected a bit better though? Amazing price! Will be interesting what you make of them @Big J, discount for two?
  20. Ah, sorry, i googled Logbullet and it looked almost identical to the Kinetic, i assumed it was model name or something, whats the fully loaded logbullet cost? sorry
  21. Looks good, haven’t looked at them for a while, the original ones had big drawbacks apparently, which look to have been rectified (no reverse drive for example) What’s a fully loaded Kenetic cost? With crane extension, joysticks, winch, lighting etc? And weight?
  22. Yeah they’re getting expensive, then again alstor has jacked their prices up too! Too whack alstor here is over 80k! Id like a go on the diesel 8000 bison, see what the difference is. This 6000 seems thirsty (might only be noticing its consumption as its running aspen mind!)
  23. Had it out again today, and tomorrow too. get more and more impressed each time I use it! This is was this afternoons work, 4hours, 100-400m extraction route
  24. Cool that you can get the grinder on the back of the ranger @Tree Man Tom
