  1. Quite proud of this, Tommer posted simmilar years back on arbtalk so I done simmilar in Monday, 12ftx25inch maple log, rolled up into the trailer. Diddnt even need 4 wheel drive or much throttle at all even on damp grass. [ATTACH]192337[/ATTACH] Ramps on the far side of the trailer down to the log, rope attached this side of trailer, across the bed, down, under the log then back over the top and to the hilux
  2. Nice truck. There was questions about VAT on double cabs over here too, but it was decided aslong as it has a pickup bed and a seperate cab then the number of seats is irrelevant

    New truck

    FWIW my mate went from a double cab 130 tipper to a dyna and hasn't looked back. Except the handling of an empty dyna on icy roads! He's looking at buying a second. The 3.0L diesel version and low gearing is quite pokey as i remember (from a past firm) and turning circle amazing, especially compared to a 130!
  4. Free hand on the oak, so deadwood, light thin and weight reduce some of the heavy limbs. Maple was heavier thin to let more light in and so they could see the water from upstairs. Couple more on the backside and some fells. Back again today for same again
  5. First day of an island job today, saw 2 Elk this morning too! Pictures don't do the oak Justice, beautiful old girl.
  6. VW Transporter combi. 1 set of rear seats and a real "van" space behind. Or nissan primastar variant - cheaper!
  7. Poloneck on T's, Zip poloneck on Jumpers. Because i think they look smarter than crew necks. Zip polo on jumpers give a bit of protection from cold and sawdust when the winds wrong.
  8. Just because your in love with timberwolf hodge Interested in the outcome personally rather than a media cover up
  9. Is this an example? Just a small oak on todays work list [ATTACH]191261[/ATTACH]
  10. Drop sides advertised on here a few weeks back Pickup Traybacks – The Overlander
  11. Start at top middle, look around at your next cuts/crown line, do a cut, look for your next, don't be afraid to cut a branch out of no decent growth point in the line you want (aslong as it doesn't leave a huge hole in the crown
  12. Thanks for the helpfull answers and info
  13. What do you think to the trailer? How long have you had it etc? Would you get another? Edit: and timberbear, how'd you rate it? Specifically compared to ifors newer range of poss?
  14. I think that's the conference that's today and yesterday in stockholm, there's another up in Umeå in november Sorry for the derail David
  15. The meeting of forests and citys, when expansion and development encroaches into forests and nature, protection, incorporation etc of these important recourses. Something like that from memory. Still undecided as its a topic that i don't see applying to me in my day to day work now or in the near future. Thats some impressive pollards in the above pic!
  16. There is a conference coming up here in november, which sounds interesting, but doesn't look like theres any international speakers this time so unfortunately it looks likely to be held in Swedish.
  17. Looked a great trip david!
  18. What's the pros/cons for rubber suspension? Both Brian James UK and sweden replied this morning to emails I sent last night so so far better than Ifor Triaxle appears to be an optional extra
  19. Wow, Brian James certainly does look nice
  20. Pulled it well, obviously knew it was there though! Took it easy as the truck was only 3 days old
  21. Ive borrowed a mates new Ifor 3621(?)TT a few times, the biggest tipper. Towed well empty and full, tipped with ease. I like the idea of the ali floor insert,keeps weight down? and like that the battery charges whilst driving. The only other name here I've heard of is the nuggent, but thats 25cm narrower and the sides are one piece, reduces options?
  22. Get some pics up!
  23. Nice job adam. you liking it out there?
