I was going to put a micro digger with grab in a transport box on the front of my u2150 years ago to feed my tp250, the cost of the digger was way too much at the time as they were just out. So I opted for a fmv crane mounted between the linkage and chipper. It would of worked if the fabricator hadn't done his own thing and made the crane base 1.5 tons and made the Mog almost wheely. Then along came kid number 2 and I sold the lot! Good luck mate, crack on!

I think Huck meant disease, not decease!

Need the receipt and put the % through.

Household bills like gas, electric and mortgage will have a statement( which is a receipt) All you do is offset a percentage.

Use standard springs! If you fit the heavy duty ones, the load sensor doesn't work the brakes and you don't stop very well from what I've heard. The standard ones will handle what the Mog is capable of imo

I have a Kibuto rtv, runs on cherry, has a bench seat, tipping body, hydraulics and a winch! Buttons to run

make a purpose built trailer and mount the chipper on it with a crane to feed it. The mini digger has limited reach and you won't be able to feed road side very easily. I'd rather be in the tractor monitering the dials and listening for problems. Turn the chipper so the conveyor faces the rear of the tractor and off set the timber crane so the king post isn't in the way for visibility. Or just buy a roofmount:biggrin:

You can claim against almost anything, as long as the % is accurate! If you buy a pair of £200 Oakleys for driving the truck as well as going your holidays you could feesabley claim a percentage. BUT when you are sitting across from the tax investigator and he sees all these amateurish attempts at squeezing them he will dig and dig until he finds something you have missed. Simple answer is get an accountant, they went to university for years to learn a profession that cannot be matched by a couple of posts on a forum by tree cutters.

-7 with us today, Mog wouldn't start for the first time yesterday, put jump leads on and she fired instantly! Mine has the pump, I'll get some stuff from Alex Price!

Sounds a good package to me. If someone offered me £30k a year, mobile phone and a vehicle I'd be happy . An 8 hour day, that means hands are dirty for about 5! Compare to self employment that's a half day!

Merry Christmas my fellow tree cutters, climbers and log men. Have a great Christmas, enjoy the little things And treasure the moments.

Davie no receipt , then no guarantee that's the way of the world. If I loose receipts then I contact the company I bought from and they send me 1 out.

I use the stopper a lot, a jockey wouldn't work for me. When I got my Cs I struggled to get it into my container, I went to my gym and asked the instructor to give me excercises to build the relevant muscles, I told him I'm trying to move a wheely bin full of bricks in gravel! He smiled. With in a month I was so much stronger and I could get Gloria anywhere!

That sounds a sure fire way to stress , bashed elbows and annoyance! I used to ramp mine into a Renault master, the boards were about 8' long, only ever fell off them once at the start! Push in, don't pull up. It wasn't a difficult task, not perfect though. Or do this!

That ditch is beautiful!

Stop giving everyone tickets for prussiking up a 20 ft straight sycamore within a 4 minute window!!! The college should place litter outside the front door of their building, alongside a pull up bar. If they pick something up and place in a bin and can do 3 pull ups, the door opens. The college will put anyone through a course, then we have to deal with the ones who will never manage the work, they are either not fit enough, not intelligent enough or just have a wrong attitude. The latter is the problem, you can train skill and fitness but attitude is the problem. We have to pick up where someone failed when they were 11. Basic manners and morals is what's missing. This job is dragging branches, chipping them and cutting bits off tree, that's It! Experience and effort builds their skill level. But if someone turns up with laces untied, not prepared for the day and is basically a little pita who feels the world owes them a favour, then no amount of tickets is going to get them a job within a small company, maybe a big 1 where they are a number. For all the rest who are nice polite hardworking people, young and old, do not fear, it will all fall into place and you will succeed in anything you try!!

It's a Pillenic battery pack chainsaw! Excellent piece of kit!

Michelins or nothing, I got 6 years out mine for the 2150. They were £3k plus vat 10 years ago

Only way to get it going is to log in guys! And I think Ted has just started the ball rolling!😄

Yes I do.

Buu an agg spec Mog and put it straight to work, that's a sprinter with chunky tyres!

i think it would be considerate and fair to Clarks to get your saws checked out properly to make sure the oilers are working, and if they are, then try another oil before ( instead of petrol which has very little similarities) before pointing the finger of blame at the suppliers. It's easy for sawdust and crud to fall in while working on site:001_smile:

So never get your trees cut because some guys in a van made a mess once! Choose who you go to, do your homework, ask about for recommendations ,the hypnotherapy at the end of your hour or so chat is a small part of the session.
