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]

Very nice! What'd that set you back?
-
You could start by using aspen diesel/petrol. Bio hydraulic oil etc
-
Mine, being the older style hilux now, was 6 holes, really easy though. My mate who has a new shape hilux has clamps. I'd assume a new shape navara top would be clamps too.
-
None of the corny ones no. 6
-
Remember to check that the GTW is 7t, otherwise it might be so that if you tow 3,5t you can't have any load on the tow vehicle (like a Toyota Dyna i saw for sale recently)
-
Buying the wrong machine because it's cheap is a bit daft imo. But the machine you can use the most. It may be that a wheeled artic loader can be used twice as much because it's sensitive on gardens I find with my tracked chipper, even being careful, taking big long turns it still screws up the grass on just one pass, whereas the avant can be driven back and forth all day and just needs a quick blow to fluff the grass up again. Telescopic boom also increases useability ime This applies to my scenario/work obviously I could see a cheap bobcat being a great yard machine though

When are you going steve? Could you just borrow a roof box or two if its just this trip you want the extra storage for?
-
New shape navara with Alu-cab Alu-Cab Aluminium-Hardtop Nissan Navara - GENESIS IMPORT
-
Same locks, (which are great) 500quid more, but painted, dunno if mine was extra to have painted, 1 year warranty opposed to 10 year frame warranty (whatever that means!) Certainly looks the part! I diddnt want one either to be honest Steve, but found that the mountain top held enough kit just for me, when staff got their stuff in its a squeeze. Looked at the Ifor, and Samson tops, but they looked to farmer like. was going to get a plastic one, Alpha GTE, or Eko but others here who have them (staff using, so quite heavy handed) were shagged after a few years, then a mate got one of these alu-cab bush tech ones and i ordered one the next day!

Steve, i just got one of these for my hilux, SERIOUSLY good quality. No wind noise. they do colours to order. theres no way these can leak, they're designed to be dust proof. Even a video on youtube of them placing a land cruiser onto of one and all doors work perfectly. Cheaper than the plastic ones too. (here anyway) Nissan Navara (Double Cab) - Bushtech Canopy Top
