    What trailer is that mate?

    The amount of jobs I go to where the developers try and save felling costs and think the way forward is to flatten everything with a machine then drag it thru the mud and crap and stack it in every other direction and expect you to chip it. Job ends up turning into mulcher work as its too filthy to chip.

    Where in the country are you? Tractor and mulcher or 360 with root rake.

    Previous owner specced it up when wilsons were doing the conversion. It feels light on the front end when the chipper is on and doing road work or steep climbs so i might ballast up the front tyres a bit.

    yeah, there is a big hydra tank on the front with a horsing great pump below it. The filter thats ungaurded is the filter for the crane hydraulics, as fitted by wilsons when the botex was put on.

    trust me, i have driven most things with wheels or tracks and they have their limitations to where they will fit, wont sink etc. spending hours putting down sheets of timber to run on then taking them up at the end of the day is all time that could be spent getting the tree on the deck. Plus you have to transport the loader around so unless you have a lorry your soon gonna run out of space or payload for climbing kit, saws, chipper, woodchip and the loader. Look at that fella on here doing the work on the marsh lands and how much they have done with hard graft.

    If you dont like donkey work your in the wrong industry, not every situation lends itself to machinery as there will be times where its too wet, too steep or simply the machine wont fit. To think you can use this set up day in day out and not have to feed a chipper or load chogs of timber into the back of a truck by hand is nuts.

    mark, get the white CRO card then you can choose the categories to specialise in that they will then print on the back( experienced stella drinker is not on there!). I get asked for cscs before i even get a chance to quote with some firms so has been well worth it. With regards to the test, it took me longer to find a parking space in canterbury than it did to do the test

    Yeah, the fine mist through the visor when you nick one with the saw..... Nice!!

    pts have a 2 year validity then you have to retake, about £140 quid a time from what i remember. The work is all about time limits due to line possessions and hold ups cost big bills. Loads of people chuck crap either over their fences or outta the train windows so expect to find the usual consignment of dog crap, nappies and needles (even found a false arm once) on the embankment, hardly a nice environment! Plus plenty of wire, cable and track clips that have been discarded by line workers. If anything you will learn to sharpen a saw well and will end up walking lop sided from standing on a steep enmbankment day in day out!

    somewhere on you tube there is an mb trac with front mounted chipper and mowi crane with hi tip chip body mounted behind the cab
  18. garth mc garth
    Theres one on fleabay at the moment.

    Probably worth giving these guys a try Moor Heat - Home Page brash baler would cut and bale all the gorse then all you have to do is collect the bales with a loader or linkage mounted bale spike. Ahwi produce a mulcher collector system but you will need a fair size tractor to power it.

    Where abouts are you based in Kent? I know of a few people who come out with tractors and processors near to me.

    Bruce, I never got a reply to the email I originally sent you regarding a collection address or a pm via arbtalk but as it was a freebie I didn't push it as its a kind gesture to give it away for free. Either way I hope it's sorted.

    Get some sweet chestnut posts mate, half the price of softwood and last longer too. Price has been shooting up wildly since early 2009 down here

    Those last 2 pictures look a familiar sight at the moment. Just fitted a more powerful engine in my u1000
  24. garth mc garth
    Sounds like a decent machine, I always fancied one with the Werner kit fitted and a crane trailer on the rear blade

    Nice tractor Marko, what does she go like?
