RB44 project, conversion to suit my work requirements.
treequip replied to TotalTreeCall's topic in Arb-Trucks
I agree with that but there is a PTO gearbox that will take the hammer. Dodge made a remote PTO gearbox that drove a hydrovane compressor big enough to run a jack hammer. It would do a small chipper easily -
Its not phenolic pit, its a phenolic faced ply (plywood with a high grip plastic facing) It pays to know what you are talking about. Ally frames for tippers aren't a good idea, constant flexing gives them a short lifespan particularly on smaller vehicles, its also expensive for not much weight saving.
-
Depends on the thickness but at 18mm they are bad and worse when they get old and start getting waterlogged
-
18 inch spacing's is about right, I would go with a steel floor, the phenolic ply just wont last and its way too grippy for tipping stuff.
-
What's a phenolic pit floor then?

Spat mi tea out:laugh1::lol:

Here you go Polypropylene Fiber Rope - Strength
-
No, the limits per vehicle and per axle are absolute.
-
Ahhh my bad Wherever possible I use a chunk of 22mm pollyprop with mine, that way its not tragic if it gets landed on I saw a tirfor with the wrong rope in it once. It stripped out at a very inconvenient moment.
-
You need to replace like for like, the TIRFOR is a jaw grip mechanism, if the rope isn't the right one it can slip under load.

Chortle:laugh1:

The criteria for "O" licence is crystal clear. Vehicles with a MAM of 3500kg or less don't need one. Trailers don't come into it until the vehicle has a MAM of more than 3500kg.
-
What model is it? How sharp are the blades? Is the anvil gap OK? Is there something in the discharge that might be snagging

If it were a simple tipper it would be at least half a ton lighter. -
I am sat a couple of feet away from one of those. I didn't know its name but the wife says they are both correct

That was going to be my next question:laugh1: -

Where do you keep the infeed for the chipper and, who did the welding on those barn doors? -
Clearly the timber has a value but we don't know what the owner wants from this woodland. If could well be that the "management" involves more than extracting a crop.
-
Frank Rowlands at Clitheroe hires tractor and chipper. They deliver and collect on their own trucks F.G.Rowland Ltd, Hire.

Put a bit of thought into what you are going to do in an emergency.

The solution to "O licensing", overloading and more??
treequip replied to Daniël Bos's topic in Arb-Trucks
I agree but its not like getting a licence granted is rocket science, I managed it all by my lonesome -
It wont reduce your liability if it goes pear shaped

But the 3500kg limit is a European harmonisation thing so any lobbying to change that would need to be done in Brussels Even if they do lobby I don't see how keeping small businesses under 3500 kg would help them -
That's a fine thing though, nature sends a beetle to rip apart a monoculture, poetic justice. And once again I have yet to see a beetle hoard descend on one I have pruned.
-
I am not in Germany any more, maybe we just don't have the killer beetles that you do
