    If that machine takes work away from you climbing, your climbing stuff that doesn't need to be. Climbing is for in towns and cities.

    I was hoping to send my potential client a link to this thread, don't think I'll bother😀

    Roads not an issue mate. Concerns for buildings.

    There's some buckling of some kind going on Adam, with the ground build up and heavy lean .

    I need scientific stuff guys, I'd fell it because my head says too, just because I've been doing it long enough to know when it's time up, but I need to use words to explain why 😳😀
  7. Stephen Blair
    Reasons please gentleman! And not because its January 😀

    Road on 1 side built up around 3 ft. There is damage on the thick bark a couple of feet up the trunk , could this be buckling of some kind ?and what looks like gold paint on the bark.

    Clean forgot, I've been too busy doing nothing! 😄Glad I've not missed it.

    Only for the tracked dumper mate, that way with some rearranging of levers, a pto chipper and chip body, Then it wouldbe an amazing self propelled unit for not much money

    Tell me more Johnny! Is that diesel? Do you have to buy a lot?

    Maybe in a few months we could all go for a Sunday drive like the old days without having to price 3 jobs, visit friends and do the shopping aswell!!!😀

    An easy thing to do with either Greenmech or jeabeux. Some box section, a hinge, and a rolling floor. The vacuum is brilliant! Don't know how to do that! Every chipper should have that option. I heard some older American models did!

    We have a contender for best micro set up here I think, I wonder if it has wheels?
  16. Stephen Blair
    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.
  19. Stephen Blair
    Household bills like gas, electric and mortgage will have a statement( which is a receipt) All you do is offset a percentage.
  20. Stephen Blair
    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
  22. Stephen Blair
    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!
  25. Stephen Blair
    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!
