<p>Hi mate I may be selling a 3 year old Vermeer 252 with a out 160hrs on it if Interested I want 8250 for it. No vat.</p>

Not the t4 your thinking of the crafter. My mate has one in Scotland think he likes it. They are only rated to 3ton or there abouts so weight is a slight issue. I missed a 4x4 one a few years ago it looked awesome

Buy the best you can afford, work out what would be best long term for your type of work and not what you want hanging on the back of the truck. I have ajenson 530 now but made the mistake of buying a tw 150 second hand when I set up my business. It would be worth looking at one that's been done up by the likes of arb rep, red woods/arborcut, masons or sabre. Check out earborist.
-
Oh dear I think you have opened a can of worms with that one
-
Just look out for a truck cab 130 then build it up from there. If your thinking of stretching a 110 and fitting the springs doesn't automatically change the gvw. Also it will probably cost you a lot more in head aches and time.
-
Once you have tried a bandit, forst, Jensen I think you ll be disappointed with a tw 190. But it pays to look at all your options.
-
Check this one out ebay item number 190913906536 its a station wagon but things can change.
-
300 nice and simple or get one and fit the Tdvs from m and d engineering. That's got more power than the td5. Might be worth having a budget and commissioning a rebuild with someone. You ll get the spec YOU want then.
-
You could get a decent td5 or a fully rebuilt all singing all dancing 300tdi on galvanised chassis for that sort of dosh.

Jo try trailer tech in miceldever they have a few things that might help you out.

I went for Brit part heavy dutys plus 40mm with gas shocks. I ve also kept the helper springs. Redone bushes on anti roll bars and fitted heavy duty a frame joint. I had standard 130 springs but they got abit tired. So took it to the extreme but it's worth doing it right. Went for a drive and its made one hell of a difference. Highly recommended.
-
This weekends job was to polybush the rear fit new heavy duty suspension and gas shocks. Next weekend it will be the front. Should have done this years ago.
-
And it's down to there low gearing compared to the jap stuff.

I ll be going to run at my dads fishery in Norfolk. There will be plenty of tree work there to do so I can keep climbing abit. It will be a much more relaxed pace.

Subcontracting chipper rates (to help with finance payments)
treefrog replied to kentjames's topic in Large equipment
Rather than going full out and getting a tw 125 is it worth looking at the laski/ raptor ls100 it's a 5 inch machine for alot less money. Worth getting a demo at least I know you get what you pay for. Realistically how much subby work with a small 5/6 inch machine are you going to get as that size is the norm anyway. Think about spending a little less but you get a new machine with a better warranty. May be able to get a good personal loan for less a month to to help finance it for a shorter period also. -
That's great that ll earn you money. When can we start placing orders then.
-
Check out sports direct I ve got some trousers from karrimor with a similar stretchy material for £25 quid seam to be very good for the price and so far hard wearing. Will buy more at that price
-
Can you to make something with some 4 inch posts and make a timber building/lean to
-
I have a Jensen 530 which is great I like the look of the forst. I do have concerns over the use of hydrolic motors to run the infeed rollers. Think the gear box design on the 530 should be more robust. Only saying this as my old tw 150 had them motors and they needed to be replaced.
-
Try green otter recycling on poles lane in otterbourne it's not to far to go.
-
Paul e mailed me a few weeks back and said it would be around 11,995 plus vat.
-
With regards to the leak check the spline on the hydraulic motor they can wear out. That's where mine went. Adan hydraulics will make a motor to the same spec for about £180 vrs timber wolf £450.

Try the chipper doctor he's based in Norfolk and used to work for timber wolf
-
Matt for Jensen and forst at redwoods Hampshire
-
Try Aviva been great for me the last few years
