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... -
361 to the 362 was a back step.

The best front mounted chipper for a mog?
monkeybusiness replied to MattyF's topic in Large equipment
I bet he needed some big front weights to drive with that monster on the back! What are the little straw-looking things hanging down in the feed hopper? -
The 12x6 ifor will carry vehicles if necessary -I've carried my 110 on several occasions. With cage sides it will hold approx 8m3, which is possibly overloaded with chip but it doesn't look it and still tows very well. If filled to the brim with oak or beech rings it is definitely overloaded but still tows fine and easily manages to tip off. If you are buying an ifor I would recommend avoiding buying from them directly -they're customer service when it comes to any warranty issues is non existent (it's so bad I have just ordered a new Brian James trailer -more expensive but apparently fantastic trailers). Buy off a good dealer and let them handle any problems you may encounter.

I've always found road tow chippers eat tyres - they are generally built down to a weight and use a light-duty axle that subsequently runs near its maximum load limit. This in turn chews up tyres as the suspension units are working near their design limits. Also a lot of people don't get their brakes regularly adjusted, so the over-run bangs on the tow hitch destroying the damper and leads to trailer wheels locking up occasionally. The smack that caused the ding in the wheel could have also knocked the suspension out of line at the same time possibly.
-
Do you want to restore a 1928 too?...
-
I always run a 16 on a 200t, and a lot of the lads who try mine subsequently do the same. It's well balanced and plenty powerful enough for most jobs imo. 201t might struggle a bit though.
-
boom!
