  1. And a 7.5" 50hp safetrac greenmech for the many chip n leave jobs
  2. Tip and grab truck, although I'd happily exchange this 18ton, single axle, 13m crane for my last employers 6x6 scania, 19m crane, 6 support legs, then the optional 7m jib Towing this......
  3. This (new top whack 3.0 hilux, plant trailer, 750 avant with timber grab/rotator) Plus.....
  4. What problems do you have with the flippy caps sub zero? Tim, just buy whatever feels best in your hands. I done this recently and made a different decision to what I thought I would
  5. Reading the words in the link was much much easier, i diddnt have to concentrate on focusing so much to avoid the words jumping around. Thanks for the link
  6. What would the fine/punishment be if you caused an accident/death with an overloaded vehicle?
  7. From a users perspective, the trailer choice makes the biggest difference. At one company i used a tracked greenmech on a tipping trailer, it was pants for small jobs as far too high if left on the trailer, although versatile being able to chip on the trailer on bigger jobs. At another, a tracked tw190 turbo, on a plant trailer, much better as lower, still a pain compared to a road tow as you couldn't really stand at the side to feed as well as a road tow, and being up on the ramp to feed, could be awkward if you wanted to chuck and run a gnarly piece in. I reckon (although not tried or tested) the smallest, lowest plant trailer possible, with a cut down ramp (like Johnny walkers on here) would be great as you could back the chipper up a bit on the trailer so the whole hopper hangs over the back of the trailer. Should be a much safer feeding position? Edit like the Johnny walker above haha!
  8. Husky or Stihl it really won't matter if buying second hand, either make will be as much a gamble buying it used. It seems the modern big saws, second hand, in advertised "good" condition are only about 30% less than a new one with warranty etc. Worth it?
  9. Nice Rich, looks ace having all that space on the ground, decent chipper and the avant
  10. so this doesn't cover carrying wood chip or logs then? as its not 'materials for the driver's use in the course of his work.' its produce/waste so a tacho would be needed for a transit tipper, chipper, carrying logs?
  11. Greenmech! I used to use a safetrac refurbished by greenmech which ran faultlessly
  12. Very very cool, 6.7 cummins?
  13. A sliding tray like these? Worksystem Inredning Pickuper -Prisgaranti | Örebro
  14. Ibbetts at st neots in cambridgeshire might be closer to you
  15. Hi, My 460s being replaced after it had a little accident, if i could find a new 460 id have that, but i can't, so.... I've used a 372 in soft wood only, i really rated it, i liked its old school rawness and general feel. Never used a 461 or 576. 461 isn't available here which complicates matters, so I'm leaning towards the 372 as its also lighter. I know this is a big ask, but id be grateful for some non biased answers on which is the best saw regardless of manufacture, and from 1st hand knowledge. It'll be running a 24" bar (I run 560's on 15"/18", 660s on 25"/30" and 880 36"+) Thanks Let the stihl vs husky debate commence (joke )

    Slang!

    One of the girls i was sniffing around when i was in the states called everything she thought to be cool, "spunky" which i always sniggered at Scrumpy can also mean tasty (food) or tasty as in pretty girl, who could also be called a bit of crumpet, which is also something nice roasted by the fire smeared in butter Isotonic is a type of sports drink which is good for replenishing the bodys salts(?) You guys have isotonic drinks, as that was something i drank a load off after getting unwell due to the altitude and not drinking enough.
  17. No helpful input, but heres quite a cool looking one for sale over here
  18. Nah I wish! I did enter. Say's Jack Langabeer in the first post.
  19. Skyland were really helpful with big dawgs for my 460 Matty, give them a try
  20. THAT is a fantastic video! Is that something August has done himself? Looked like a fantastic air of teamwork and fun:thumbup1: And the 2nd Video was good too, great control
  21. I think Dean Lofthouse simply extended his shoot, about 1m long(?) If you hire it a lot you could make/have made a new shoot to bolt on/off. Just a bit of folded metal.
