  1. chris shepherd had a monster splitter for the tractor with conveyor belt, seriously awesome it was. about 3k i think
  2. normal tractor £30 quid an hour with implement plus diesel, if you are using the crane i would want another £20 quid an hour..what about chains, if their wood is full of metal then they can pay for new chains..
  3. yes but i have never seen an elephant fly
  4. i think you are aswell buying a different one than trying to change one about, let someone else spend a fortune from the start
  5. a bumble bee sting will freeze your arm aswell, never seen a horse fly though.
  6. big wide ag tyres and tyre inflation makes the world of difference
  7. 25k and your chipper johny:001_cool:
  8. hi mate, any pics?i remember you last 2 mog pics were excellent:001_cool:
  9. if it comes straight from the german council you are quids in, they have to go through an mot over there. it is like buying any vehicle, most are ok but sometimes you can get a pig in a poke..get one checked out before you buy, saying that i just liked the look of mine, had a play and bought them. they were all recommended by acprice as he knew them
  10. google acprice, he will come up first, some mogs are left hand drive mark. i couldnt put a nut in a monkeys mouth but i have a mog, if they break down then just get someone to fix it, thats what i do..if you plan on buying a mog, then plan to do a lot more work with it, but with bigger turnover comes bigger repair bills. i am looking at another mog just now in the region of 50k, but you can spend as little as 5 k for a little play about. it depends what it has on it, you can pick up a flat bed x army mog for under 10k, but one with all the agg stuff on it and chip body, depending on which model, under 20k is going to be a bit rough i reckon.
  11. alex price all the way, if a mog is very shiny, just been resprayed and smells like halfords then stay away from it. i have run mogs for 7 years now, go for it..
  12. cool pics mate, the beaches look beautiful, and empty. get skinny dipping mate:001_cool:
  13. hawthorn releases histamen into your body from thorns, it sounds like that to me mozza:sad:
  14. i used to have a small skidsteer, when you could get it in it was great but it did mess up grass and slabs those little artic loaders look the bizz, great yard machine aswell
  15. the one i have is edd, maybe my dimensions are wrong, it must be about the smallest tandem axle plant trailer you get..do you have any dealers up this way edd, i would love a demo of one..
  16. the thing is with hilux's is you cant kill them, you can bash then, crash them and treat them like a tractor aswell, it will look knackered but still keep going, top gear proved that to joe public but we knew it already, i had a jacked up hilux tiger, it was a thailand import crew cab, jacked right up with huge tyres, roll bars and front and back winches, its only let down was its 3litre diesel engine, it was really torquey for off roading but crap on the road, 50mph max on the flat..i loved it for but when the babies come along the toys have to go
  17. it would just be for working around the town edd, my yard is about half a mile out, so if i wanted the lad to nip down for a job it would save the hassle loading it onto a trailer, and if it could tow a small timber trailer or 6x4 ifor that would be great for picking up hedgeings and dumpy bags of sawdust
  18. would it manage to tow a small timber trailer edd, and can you put them on the road??
  19. i looked at one 9 years ago for my skidsteer at the time, they wanted about 5k, i burst out laughing and i got the usual apf reply 'you miserable scottish git'
  20. the stumpy attachments are usually about 5k plus:ohmy:
  21. what price do they start at edd?
