    I had a RR sport V6 for 3 years, towed the caravan and 3 tonner faultlessly for that time. I only spent £480 on tyres and brakes in that time. The V8 would be awesome.

    Nitrax, the Rolls royce of boots!! i used to stare at them on the top shelf in the chainsaw shop. They were £200 20 years ago.

    i reckon it was a mix of Sitka, and that lodge pole stuff got starved of light so it adapted!

    sit it on a few logs quite high and then work your way down and see how it does, revs are always low winching and you cant always be on level ground.

    what model is the mog? Have you ran it up to see how it sounds? If its too steep an angle, you will likely hear a noise from just behind the cab that doesnt sound right. Also adjusting the top link can make a difference. I shortened arms before and that was a couple of hours work for a fabricator, maybe something to consider, obviously you can make them longer too but that can effect lift more. Pictures help.

    I struggled to watch that as far as i did. Cool music, cool editing, nice landrover, cool drone. As far as tree work goes very shabby, dangerously infact.

    I need a winch for the mog, a pto werner under the hiab would do nicely

    Not missing the tractors , they are great all rounders but no comparison to the digger and fixed grab. On the rd tractors are hard going even with fancy suspension .

    No, local haulier does that

    I know a guy who had an entec pto chipper running off a Lwb Landy must be about 14 years ago . Not sure where he got it or if he got it made to suit, but it worked

    Plenty of jobs she could be doing.

    Looks like its been topped before. Easy day £500 and a few hundred quid of firewood. The lowering kit can stay in its bag
