  1. The ZT? 14k? How are you getting on with it?
  2. Its been done quite recently, I think there was a thread on here linking it to the treehouse site where they shared all the info to make you're own Just found it: http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/electric-log-and-brushcart-treegoat.36158/

    Bracing

    It was 8-9years ago so may remember wrong, but I think it was replaced as there was no date of installation recorded/present. Replaced with cobra with those date disks they used to do and a light reduction.

    Mullberry in Ely cathedral...i replace it with cobra
  5. Crikey! Whats the weight limit on the mill? What model is it?
  6. So with your 600kg trailer with its 2600kg load, 3200kg total weight you'd still be able to have 560-675kg load on the truck if my maths is correct
  7. Brochure says 5850, so if towing 3,5t, vehicle payload (excluding driver) is 260kg-375kg depending on model
  8. I was amazed at how little 2ton of soil looked on my Ifor tipper Agree with Ian, you need the 6,5t version to have a chance at staying legal
  9. Depends on the hilux. mk7s are anywhere between 2.2 and 2.8 tons from what I've seen, new ones 3,2-3,5t. Also depends on how much weight is in the back of the truck (Towing the full 2,8t with mine, i can only have 300kg in the truck before the GTW is exceeded)
  10. I looked at one with a hiab and tipp, 3,5t total weight, had all of 200kg load weight
  11. Great news! What did it end up costing the guilty party in the end?
  12. Why would they even bother to get you in to quote if they hadn't heard of you?! Some people don't think there fibs through!

    EcoPlugs

    Steady on they don't cost me nearly a quid, 45p is closer, and I certainly don't expect to make a living out of eco plugging stumps felling the trees makes my money, going to the massive effort of bringing a drill, and drilling a few holes at the end of a job is only an added service

    EcoPlugs

    I charge £1 per plug, never had a customer question the price
  15. Not sure pete, only had it in gardens, drove out via a quite flat woodland to the side. needed the rear drive when loaded to get over relatively small obstacles or driving over wood chip loaded. Not as stable as an alstor I think they start around 20k +vat, but once you've added the extending boom on the crane, radio controlled winch on the crane, plastic cab, heated seats, joystick controls, work lights, etc etc its over 30k Certainly interesting to use, and perfect for these jobs
  16. Thats a bad photo i think, and on that trailer it could go back at least another meter. Towed lovely, easy to forget it was there
  17. About 1,4 ton i believe, max load of 1,9, no damage to the grass although we are in a drought here at the moment.
  18. Thought id share some pictures of the past few days job, 2 days felling and chipping 25 trees at one adress, and today using the Kranman to extract about 100 logs in 4 hours, then another adress of 15 trees/50 logs, think its easier to answer questions if anyone has any about the machine than ramble on
  19. Pretty much my thought too Gary. The customer wants a hard reduction height wise for aesthetics, although i don't see a long term future for the tree so will be leaving a price to fell as well.
  20. I've my own opinions on the status of this maple, wondering what yours are? The main stem, and subsequent stems have long cracks, what's your VTA opinion be? And suggestion of works?
  21. Tesla are making a pickup, that should be awesome. https://electrek.co/guides/tesla-pickup-truck/ For Teslas, charge from home electric equates to 52 miles per hour plugged in, full charge is around 300 miles, Supercharge stations charge in 20 min, good for 170 miles, the swedish hamburger chain Max has free charge points, take a coffee or burger whilst the car charges, the more there are the more it'll be viable to use electric cars. loads of taxis are now teslas doing the airport run, thats gotta be a good sign, they do more miles than any arb gang! An electric work truck would in theory be awesome, constant torque, great for towing, extra battery weight shouldn't be a problem. Oh, and unlike a milk float the Teslas do 0-60 in 2,5 seconds! The technology is there, just needs to become more mainstream.
  22. Small fix on the chipper. Great service from @arbrepservices (think that's their tag)
  23. Not too bad then, Lifted mine with Maries help, she just about managed, probably similar weight. whats the quality like?
