im saving for shreks mog:001_tt1: my current one needs a bigger brother
-
i saw the mog on e arborist a while ago then the mulcher and trailer went on ebay. it might be the same guy, im usually wrong!!
-
dont think so mate, just had a look at some of richard t posts and it sounds a different fella
-
i thought it belonged to richard cutis from aspen tree services, same bloke sold that crane trailer with the rear mounted johnsred crane.
-
said that one a few pages ago mate!!

site is pretty small and level, good access for forwarding, well drained sandy soil so it not too wet. so whats the goin rate to buy it at the stump?
-
im going to have a look tomorrow but from what i was told over the phone he wants to sell it at the stump where it lays. there is access to stack at roadside but due to it location and my recent bad luck concerning timber theft im loathed to do that
-
im happy for any guidance!! lol. i got a few local firewood guys who have run dry that would be interested in for processing so i have a market to sell on immediately
-
guy wants as much as he can get for it but i aint sure what its worth. i got mog and crane trailer and access to telehandler for picking up the big stuff

been offered between 50 and 100 tonnes of sycamore and sweet chestnut from around 8 inch diameter upto 4 feet. felled before christmas. its around 10 mins away from my yard and i would have to extract it myself. site is well drained and flat terrain. any idea on what its worth a ton?
-
has it got plenty of hydraulic oil?? hydraulic filter clean?? relief valve hasnt been damaged or adjusted by mistake??
-
another reason for controlling moles is that pasture that is harvested for grass silage or hay can cause lysteria in livestock due to soil contamination.

never had problems off road with my mk3 to be honest, its not as pokey as my mk4 but still good trucks. like chris said some of the turbo engines had problems with heads cracking, those engines were generally found in the hilux surf tho
-
i had a mk3 and now upgraded to a mk4 tipper. bloody good vehicles. if the manual hubs thing bothers you then just get auto locking hubs, they not too expensive

mark 3 models are sturdier built than later IFS trucks. better off road with solid axles too. mark 3 look for rot in the wheel arches, mud can collect behind the plastic arch liner if off roaded alot. diffs are only 7.5 inch so not as strong as the landcruiser diffs, look for backlash in the driveline if its done alot of towing suspension wise they are spot on, ride can be a little harsh if u run heavy springs play in the steering can most of the time be put down to drag link on front axle needing tightening, or spring replacement. dead cheap tho. engine wise they are pretty sluggish but reliable, i have seen them with over 340k on the clock and running spot on. do however look th the top of the radiator for leaks, where the top section is pressed onto the core they can sometimes leak around there.
