I charge £1 per plug, never had a customer question the price
-
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

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
-
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.

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
-
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.

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?

3500kg to become 4250kg for "B" class licence holders
josharb87 replied to difflock's topic in General chat
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. -
Small fix on the chipper. Great service from @arbrepservices (think that's their tag)

New Panther Chainsaw Mill Prototype - Raw Sneak Peak!
josharb87 replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
Looks innovative Rob! -
Not too bad then, Lifted mine with Maries help, she just about managed, probably similar weight. whats the quality like?
-
# Some assembly may be required (?) How much does yours weigh?
-
I don't see how you could say that, i mean, it looks well built for a start! (even if it is fugly!)
-
Tight one!
-
Does look good tom! Thanks for the videos, as the company evolves i can see a PTO on an alpine replacing the tracked chipper once a road tow setup is in place.
-
Looks really good Tom! Got to derail and ask whats the chipper like on the tractor?
-
Nice one Dave!
-
Cool.
-
What was the cost of the truck and body Nick? After a quick skim on ebay, i can't understand why more people don't have them! Certainly wish 7,5 tonners were more common here, especially at UK prices!

A crew cab is unnecessary weight and size imo What's your budget?
-
Being picky Kev, why doesn't your setup in the picture need a Section 50? To the OP, I'm guessing you've only a B license, so you'd be looking at a 3,5t vehicle towing a 750kg chipper. Nissan cabster and TW 230 would be my choice. but fill it with chip to the original sides, and you'll be on the weight limit, with greedy boards you'll be way over. Ive BE + C, and trying to stay legal is still a pain

Do I become more employable by having my own climbing gear?
josharb87 replied to Kyle_haynes's topic in General chat
You're more likely to be given a chance imo, whether its a trial day, or job on the ground, taking your gear with you to every job incase theres time for you to have a go. I very much doubt a company will employ you as a climber, spend £££ on kit etc without seeing if you have any ability -
The 528 with demolition grab fits perfectly on my 12ft Ifor tipper, the 640 with pallet forks fits, but the tips of the fork rest/hang off the back, unless boom is up and forks down. Depending what attachments, a 14ft trailer bed would be nice and roomy The owner of the 640 uses a car transporter trailer. room for a few logs too [attach]222635[/attach] [attach]222636[/attach]
