  1. 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
  2. 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]
  3. 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
  4. i think you have an incredibally rose tinted, romanticised view of the industry but good luck
  5. That is really low
  6. Crew cab, iirc, 2.85t on the weights sticker
  7. 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
  8. what length and how much?
  9. Yeah, "big wood ben, come on, big wood, you can do it"
  10. Big wood Ben!
  11. Friggin awesome!
  12. 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
  13. Nice job Adam!
  14. Brilliant, pat on the back for you mate! Ditto:001_smile:
  15. My Oregon fiordland boots have just been delivered today first impressions are extremely comfy straight away, like walking boots, soft and supple, look real nice in the flesh too. i normally get 10 months out of a pair of haix, so i'll be happy if these last the same-simillar cost. they're supposed to be waterproof too, not water resistant like alot of boots are which swayed my decision
  16. thats fantastic Dave!
  17. Ad 1 - 3 seasoned trunks, a home owner with a BnQ special saw will save a few bob over buying from garages, and have a good dinner story Ad 2 - Bulk bag of cherry logs for 75quid-pics for illustration only Ad 3 - free stump, even says they're just trying to save a trip to the tip
  18. Whats the problem with the Ad's?
  19. Come again?
  20. So its a 3D rigging plate?
  21. Awesome job Tom!
  22. Ooohhhhh Nice whats it like?
  23. foolish IMO, could screw yourself up for life, or later in life when i was layed up read tree books back to front, the whole series of shameless, and played cards, so much cards
  24. The stien/kask lid is too small for me, but the petzl is much bigger, with more room for adjustment but i have regular haircuts
  25. The 220 artic steer Avant would just fit on the back of a 130 with the grab still attatched
