  1. put some pictures in my album of the lower chassis build, you can see where the ram mounts are, i mounted the pump behind that on a braced up plate.

  2. really easy mate, the tip frame and lift frame are from a written off transit i brought on ebay, i made it 4 ft shorter and 6 inches narrower and with 40 quids worth of box section to make the subframe to mate it to the hilux mounting points. because its a shortened frame the ram is right at the front so will lift 2 ton easily.

    lights are the transit ones i mounted on angle brackets from the subframe. all in all cost me 300 quid and a few evenings to build.

    if u want any build pics just let me know

  8. if managed as a coppiced woodland sweet chestnut on a 15 year rotation should have between 320 - 400 trees per acre if planted at a 3.5 m spacing. so 13 acres should have between 4160 - 5200 trees.
