  1. 1cubicmeters = 1x1x1 2cubic meters = 1x1x2 so 2 cubic meter bags next to each other would be (Height) 1 x (Width) 1 x (Length) 2
  2. A cr500 supermoto would be an experience!
  3. Part of being a subbie and commanding higher wages isn't it?
  4. Picked up a new one today, be interesting if its better than the first generation model...
  5. When I left the uk I fitted both your criterias, not many tickets but with hgv, paid for by the company, on 130 per day paye
  6. I agree with daveindales, i think you should scrap the wire rope Chris!
  7. Biomass doesn't go to landfill, and if its waste wood, what's the problem with converting it to green energy? Those chippers and bigger are common here
  8. None of the Avant range has the oscilating joint, theyre designed for flat ground. think it'd be fine without in the uk, on domestic stuff though, not a major problem, just something they should do imo Dont know if the 200 fits through a gate, theres no real gates or fenced in gardens here, look on the avant specs, think a uk gate is 37inch iirc the log lifter rotating timber grab type attatchment is great on the bigger machines (bigger machines counterbalance the weight lifted straight out better), means you can back out draging brash/logs, if you have a regular grab/muck grab thing, if the log or branches are 4m long, you need a 4m wide gap to get through not used the chipper or grinder, used the back hoe attatchments though
  9. I love the little 200, like a go kart, 4wd with dif lock, doesent lift much in weight, but real usefull, my favorite, the bigger machines are good, let down by lack of oscilating central pivot offroad, but the 7 series has a big design flaw-a single ram off center makes bad weight distribution, my girlfriends firm broke theirs at the bearings lifting heavy weights the equivilant gianni ferrari loaders are awesome though if using a timber grapple the front of the machine and pipes need protecting big style-pipes easily pop, remember theyre not forest machines
  10. Heres the video of mine i think Ian got it from, hope you dont mind adding it to your thread Ian chogging starts at 5.40 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FkmpDuFo0Q]Tronholmen pine - YouTube[/ame]
  11. i love it for chogging down big bits, even smaller diameter stuff, changes the center of gravity of the piece making, gives the piece direction being a flat surface rather than 2 round surfaces rolling on eachother, and varing the degree of the gob helps landing the pieces flat preventing diviots in the lawn
  12. i think you have an incredibally rose tinted, romanticised view of the industry but good luck
  13. Crew cab, iirc, 2.85t on the weights sticker
  14. The only reason to do the 7.5 is age, i waited a few months to turn 21 and went straight for the big rigid at the exact same price, found it relativly easy, go for the bigger class, opens more doors I liked the Iveco at my last work, found the low gearing great when towing 2t, but diddnt like the high revs when going over 55
  15. Yeah, "big wood ben, come on, big wood, you can do it"
  16. I think theres text book Arboriculture, and theres running a buisness, sometimes the two dont go together Good shape, clean cuts, good clearup, proffesional job
  17. Brilliant, pat on the back for you mate! Ditto:001_smile:
