cheers mozza, i need to think things out and see whats going to be my best option, a 1650 with rear mounted remote controlled crane would be nice

not sure, i saw them about 8 years ago, they were in for maintenance..mog with timber crane and chip box, with a bolster trailer with a 3 way tipping removable chip box with rear linkage and a monster schelisling on the back.AWESOME:001_cool:

nice one steve, i have seen that mog before i think, i recognise the crane..did you ever see alex's trailers with the rear linkage and pto on them for chippers..amazing.is that a shiesling i see on the back of the other mog??
-
yes its graham that alex price uses, a really good guy..only had it 20 months mick, plenty of room on the low loader garth but there was a height issue hence reversed on, it will tickle a few motorway bridges on the way down me thinks:ohmy:only joking the guy knows his stuff, i am in a right downer, but i hardly use it anymore so i got a good offer so took it, kit likes to be used not sat about...i havent told alexander yet:sad:but the bank is looking better than it ever has, but i dont do this job for money, i need excitement. which i get out of kit, so i will be going shopping soon..

wise wise man, but if you are daft enough to own a cabsater why not convert it anyway:001_tongue:

sold the roofmount today, off to pastures new in manchester to play in the woods and do what she is built for:001_cool:i must admit she will be missed, awesome machine:sad:
-
any pics steve of the job, but more importantly your mog:001_cool:

i have just bought the fancy gay looking ones from justin. bright red and 200 quid..they are the comfiest boot i have ever worn, takes a bit of getting used to the solid sole, they are quite tough today to drive in and i was feeling it on my insole and knees. they have that good a support then with no give on the ankle the pressure is past up the leg, but after climbing through conifer hell for 2 hours they have given a bit and truelly awesome..you can jam your foot in and not get a squashed foot...they are so well made, i can see these lasting me 2 years easy..as long as i look after them..worth every penny though if i even get a full year out them with dry comfy feet
-
why not make an A frame for the rear that hinges and put a winch behind the cab, almost like a skip idea, weighs next to nothing, it would be great for monster bags of sadust and crap..and lumps of wood..i have always fancied the idea myself..a little bit of engineering would make life so much easier, look through old timber pics ofthe good old days, they used a frames and leverage to their advantage
-
i have heard the tales of mr cabstar but that is the first i have read his posts, i like folk who work hard and buy nice stuff, hell i am one of them..i would love a range rover sport and i wouldnt care how many folk thought i was a knob, if i want one i will buy one, it was obvious on that thread members were just having a go..how can anyone one of us who cut down trees for a living preech about the environment...maybe he was talking crap maybe he wasnt..i will just ask cts, are you the infamous mr cabstar?are you talking crap about your big tree in cornwall??i just want to know the truth:001_smile:
-
