  1. I saw this at the APF and was tempted to buy one, I think they are around 4k. Looked very simple and easy to use but the end product is a bit unsightly. Didn't look any more dangerous than any other machine, it has a guard over the intake. I think the video is a bit misleading
  2. I hope you have a quick and painless recovery.
  3. I googled Timberwolf today and on their ad it say's they have 6000 customers or words to that effect which got me thinking. If an average price for a timberwolf was say £9,000. £9000 x 6000 = £54,000,000. That can't be right can it?. We use Timberwolf at work and bearings do need changing from time to time but a small price to pay for a good machine.

  12. John Clegg tend to have the best selection/turnover in my opinion. We had been looking for a woodland for around 4 years and looked all over the country before we finally found one close to home. We now have a 38 acre wood with 12 acres of grassland. Got the felling licence last Friday to begin thinning.
  13. Digbits (Rugeley) had one on demo at the APF fitted on a 360. It was crushing kerbs with ease but not very quick but I guess quick enough.
  14. I am a Yam Yam and have been butchering trees around the Black County and beyond for over 35 years, another 25 years and I aim to retire. I can remember when I used to climb trees just for fun and even took my kit on holiday with me in case I found a nice tree, seems a bit sad now. Haven't been up a tree for years.
  15. We have done lots of crane work over the years and this is a good idea. Training is welcome. I have filled in the questionaire.
  16. When I drove past this I thought some one had put a felling cut in, then gone home, turns out it was a contractor for Wolverhampton City Council removing epicormic growth. This is how they left it. Picture273.jpg (87.3 KB) Picture274.jpg (97.3 KB)

    Cheers, I would like to see them on the lorry being delivered. Wonder if they use the same ones each time. Make a good demo seeing them go through one of those big chippers:biggrin:

    I would like to say I had a great time at the show. We went as a family, 12 of us on Thursday and 5 on Saturday. One day is not enough. Bought a 2nd hand Hakki Pilke and well chuffed. The carvings were a sight to see, enjoyed the heavy horse's and most envious of the hand craft's, they make it look so easy. Pity it's not an annual event and I am sure they could make it four days with ease. Anyone know where the poles come from and how far they are in the ground (the Mrs wants to know). .
  20. Couldn't see any gloves either.
  21. I have 7 stump grinders of variying sizes and the RG50 have more than enough power. The belts and sprockets do wear but that's a small trade off and they are easy to change. I would say if you have the opportunity to buy one then take it.
  22. Yes you can but it's best you take it to someone who knows the limits of adjustment. A bigger intercooler will also help and is easy to fit.
  23. Link not working for me?
  24. All the power you could possibly want, carrys plenty of chip and timber but still secure room for all your tools, signs etc. It's in for test beginning Oct so will have 12 months ticket. Takes much the same to run 7.5 tonne as it does 5 tonne. Cost's more to tax my Range Rover than it does a 7.5 tonne lorry
  25. I have a Miller 150 fitted to a Valtra Valmet 4x4 tractor, it grinds stumps out like they are made from Lurpak. It is the biggest, fastest grinder I have ever seen. Where is the job?.
