Pretty much This debates been going on for years in here, myself and Huck are always stubborn about Mewps! I've used 2 over the last 20 years, 1 very early on and the other about 10 years ago to see if it was any better. It's not even in my thought process to use 1, not saying I couldn't do with 1 the way I'm feeling this morning .

That's the spirit! Unclimbable!! Tee hee!!

Chris Simpson used to hold his courses in Langbank. Chris at Treevolution is very good, he assessed me there for climbing ticket.

Once they get that Christmas Advert on the telly they will be back on track!

You can chip and move if you want on a Mog, usually railway work or in a field. Stick it in super crawler and crack on or when manoeuvring I usually drop just drop the revs and leave the pto on., just don't lift the arms to High. The chipper should have the slip clutch on it. When engaging the chipper, just don't dip the clutch in the Mog.

Does it not already have this on the chipper? Do you have any pics?

Just got the App last night, much better now!

Sbtv the calculation was for the volume of timber, not including any air space. Some boffin had worked it out, it's on here somewhere on a thread.

I never implied all bags were the same, I've only ever seen 1 size of builders bag though. 0.56m3 is the volume of loose timber in a builders bag that holds 1m3 of say sand. as for buying alcohol. A pints a pints and measures are clearly labelled on the optics.

Well done! I'd love another 250, made life so much easier!

Local builder was over 10 ton with rubble and no greedy boards! trust me on the 8 ton Mark

I'm serious, i don't wait for things to come to me, I go and get them

Double cab with tools will tickle 8 ton with no passengers .

Mmm, what about driving about looking for some then asking the land owner if you can have them

Have you done any resent research or just assume this? I felled loads of big Larch a couple of years ago and it went for Boat Skins, premium prices to I heard.

I had only ever heard of it being used for matches!

You could dry a fare few ton of logs under those bridges! A guy used to fix cars under the fly over down from where I used to stay, he could squeeze cars between the barrier and work in the dry. Great shots.

I'd suggest posting a thread titled, Larch wanted, your postcode and a contact number! Always stuff about and lots of knowledge and contacts on here. Good luck

I would consider the weight on the link arms more than just a hitch on the back, that's the easy part. Yes it's fine around a field or wood but I wouldn't on the open road. I can only imagine the forces when breaking on a bend going through the length of the chipper , arms then onto the tractor is huge and not what they are designed for, as in lifting things up and down.

Sean that's a relief you were joking! I hold yourself very highly and I was taken aback with your post! Next time chuck in a smiley face ! could we all now just leave this thread and go and post something that will move the forum forward and not just a bickering war caused by the usual attention seekers who offer nothing to the world of Arb on or off screen.

Tbh I'm more surprised it came from yourself Sean.

That's got to be the most inaccurate post in Arbtalk history!

0.56m3 I'm sure, value your wrong opinion though Mark !

Builders bag is 0.56m3. Wheelie bins already have the cubic capacity stamped on the side. For trading standard purposes this is perfect. If you want to be more precise in log numbers you get between 90-100 logs in a wheelie bin tightly packed. 1m3 vented log bag is approx 360-400 logs, theybstretch the more you use them so become inaccurate and cost you more, I wouldn't recommend useing them more than twice. Builders bag 240-260 logs. My logs were 8" long ( width of the saw ) and approx 5" diameter at widest point, an ugly brick is how I would describe them to mow public with no log experience. 4 wheelie bins is just under 1m3. I used to deliver mine with my tail lift Luton, 12 in the back max. This is easily done with a ramped plant trailer and some what easier for replacing empty bins at the back. I used to leave the bins with the customer, always planned on putting a line approx 1/3 from the bottom the writing saying, Text for top up with my number, customer already has your bank details, money goes in, logs get delivered. I was £30 per bin or 4 for £100. Bins can easily be sourced from the council, damaged ones are easily fixed, steam cleaned and made to look pretty. They are easily moved, will fit in almost every garden and are part of people's lives, no stacking or handling except for straight to the fire.
