Awesome!!!
-
Any vids of the suspension working? It looks a brilliant set up!
-
I've googled it and it looks like a top handle with a backpack battery - is that correct?
-
Write to your tree officer expressing your concerns and put the ball in his court would be my advice.
-
My assumption is that the hydraulics are set to float during normal use, allowing the suspension to do its work (but giving the lowest ride height). When in use for ride height purposes the hydraulics effectively lock out the suspension. Unless there is some very trick/expensive accumulator set up also at play...
-
Looks amazing! Don't the hydraulic rams prevent the shocks and springs from working though? Or am I missing something very obvious?..
-
£50/week?!? Really? Have you missed a nought off that?
-
Also try Midland road springs. Go for the hardest springs they offer!

Depends on the electricity company and the work required. NPTCs covering the required tree works (ignoring the electrical side of things) should suffice (as in what would be required by your insurance company anyway). If it's a complicated job re. the powerlines, or the line is difficult to switch out then the electrical company may insist on doing the works themselves (the cost of this is normally absorbed by the electricity company). My advice would be to always ask the question first - it costsnothing!

I've got a double cab 56 plate ranger which is the same as the Mazda b2500 - it is great imo. I bought it cheap with a lot of miles on the clock and it is much much better than I expected.
-
No probs, good luck with the job. Just bear in mind that it can sometimes take ages (a couple of months) for shutdowns to be arranged - make sure your client is aware of this!
-
Ring the network operator and request a 3rd party shutdown - they'll want a method statement from you and proof of qualifications/insurance and will then arrange a date to turn the power off to allow you to carry out the works. I would strongly recommend you not doing the work live from your description - other than the very real risk of you getting killed, if you damage the electrical apparatus you will probably be in for a massive bill, and your insurance company are unlikely to cough up unless you have powerline clearance cover (I'm assuming you don't, hence the question).
-
I'd suggest running one of your own and then making a decision. They are the best 60cc saw around (I have yet to use anything better). The 361 was very very good but you can't get them any more - the 362 perhaps has a bit more torque than the 560 and seems very durable but isn't as good to use. I will admit that Husky sometimes seem a bit slow on their customer service - this is largely down to the individual dealers I believe.
-
I think you're paying for the machining, not the scrap value.
-
What's wrong with the 560? Best saw you can buy IMO.
-
Just out of interest, is it the machine that was recently for sale on eBay in the midlands?
-
I'm not sure how they sell them TBH. Is it defo knackered? Can it be revived by an electronics genius? I had a Timberwolf no stress box successfully fixed by a small washing machine repair shop years ago (they are no longer there unfortunately). Someone who knows their way round PCBs may be able to revive it (if you find someone please share their details).
-
ehb electronics gmbh - messen - steuern - regeln: Chipper control They are the original manufacturers in Germany and may be cheaper.
-
That the display mounts into with the printed circuit boards inside? If so I think they are approx £750...
-
Which box? Got any pics?
-
How do you buy your oil 25lt or 210lt drum?
monkeybusiness replied to Horatio's topic in General chat
I'd be very interested - I'll happily buy in bulk (200l or IBCs) if it saves money. -
If there are doubts over hydraulics, why bother? Is it cheaper to build?
-
I'll second nappies - chicken carcasses (after the Sunday roast, not just any old dead bird but I guess the principle's the same) are really good too. If it's rubbish and will combust on it goes I say.
-
Does the rear door overhang the tailgate enough to prevent it from opening, and how is it secured to stop the dishonest amongst us from unbolting it and lifting it off (hicap body caps lend themselves to exposed external mounting bolts)?
-
The best front mounted chipper for a mog?
monkeybusiness replied to MattyF's topic in Large equipment
In that situation I'd like to think I'd be super quick!!!! Something has gone very wrong if they need pulling...
