  1. Beechwood can't be too far from you with their Hiab lorry? I think they even have a few different beds so they could drop off a bed or two for you and the crane (?) to load up and pick the smaller dia stuff with the lorrys hiab off the deck
  2. Brake disc scam here too, I fitted new pads and discs 6months previous, took it (mondeo) in for a wheel bearing, got a call to say the rear discs were shot it'd only be an hours labour, if I came back another day it's be at least 2 Told them it's something I can do myself, (And I diddnt believe they were shot) 2weeks later it passed it's MOT (same as op, not even worn a lip in)
  3. I would guess the pto is powered by a hydraulic motor so just like any other hydraulic powered attatchments?
  4. yeah yeah yeah, I've said that before, friday arvo, emergency hanging branch, can't be arsed to climb but would be a nice easy straight fell......."yeah boss, the whole tree needs to be felled, honest, can't be saved"
  5. Thanks gnfencer and ironbark

    How do you decant from the drum Ian?
  9. That's awesome reg! Can you tow 2trailers over there? I've seen that some of the American states you can
  10. Ditto Scotts comments. clumpy and heavy Airstreams for me at the moment, won a pair of husqvarna technical extreme boots shortly after buying the meindls, as comfy as the airstreams but with higher ankle support. only worn a handfull of times as they're my "reserve" boots, seem good though, worth a look.
  11. Think of the habitat loss David nice work Pictures from today and yesterday. Not included, 60m spruce hedge topping, willow reduction, blue cedar fell, cherry fell, large hawthorn pollard, apple prune. Monday morning. After reduction and thin on a maple Before After birch and cherry fell tues morning Before cherry and oak reduction cherry done both done Beech reduction before after birch fell before after
  12. Out of interest how much did you pay? is that an A62, and does it have telescopic boom?
  13. Oh my Thats an awesome setup
  14. I believe some of the multione loaders have an oscillating central joint (think that's what it's called) which would be a big advantage on uneven ground
  15. Little felling job, 7 pines felled one pruned. 2 men and the avant, about 5 hours. Nice bit of space to the side of the house, but phone line in the forest to mind. Rigging the top out of one leaning heavily over the house. Couldn't fell to the side as a phone line in the tree line. Last one to do after lunch (behind the main house. Knocking the tops out. Then ripped it over, avants winch redirected couldn't shift it, but the hilux could! saved having to rig the branches away over the roof and vent pipe. Stacked ready for collection Gone the next day!
  16. I've no experience of either. But IMO if you want to be as desirable as possible to sub out, the bigger the capacity the better considering weight and size isn't really an issue. The 1000 hours is a little off putting compared to the 500, but I still think capacity would win it for me
  17. You're single handily destroying arbrep's and Jensens credibility for me. Take a leaf out of the greenmech and timberwolfs excellent presence on the forum and be professional and helpfull cheeky banter is easily misinterpreted in written text
  18. Nice chipper grey git, how much more efficient do you think you'll be? 3yr warranty is great for a hard working machine! They're obviously confident in it. Let's not forget the 230 tw has its problems and I've read some have been recalled....
  19. Srt for access and maybe a bit of pruning on the way up then swap to ddrt
