Very nice!
-
No 3cx was just a part X on the 8 tonner. Sold it on. All the attachments will now love on the Mog. No more hand balling a 150 kg grab into a transit myself!
-
Thanks guys, that will be excellent John!

Pete if that happens again, leave the fuel off. Pull the brash out, tip her on her back and climb in the hopper. Clear out the crud like a spawning frog and pass it back, then roll the blades back a smidge and that will give you the last crud. Fuel on, choke and 1 chance to fire her up, then stick the blower down and blast it out. If you choke up the spout with a heavy wet bit, take spout off, get pokey stick and scoop out mush, obviously not putt hand in, look in the hopper and brush out the excess chip( always have a shovey brush on site). Then full throttle and blown down.

Monsoon here until 7pm, then blue sky's and I reckon we will get frost tonight now.

It's still standing!

The answer is yes, your expectations should reflect your machine choice. Got a new Tow tug for the digger!

It's a ballsey fell for sure! Stunt fell? Only if the customer went out and they had priced it to section! Those are the Rules! I didn't make the rules.

Is spruce any good for more than firewood

Nice for the carvers! -
As amazing is that fell is, he destroyed the decking making me think these houses were coming down anyway, also I'm sure there's a Skidder on this tree tucked in the woods.

Stunt fells must be un assisted, no diggers shoving, no ropes pulling! Stunt fells are trees priced to section out and take a day or 2, customer goes out, you look at the boys and give the nod! I'm doubtful of the use of wedges to be a true Stunt fell, Mike Hill will hopefully be along to verify!

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 .

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

PTO overrun clutch needed on a dual clutch Unimog
Stephen Blair replied to fixesanything's topic in Arb-Trucks
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
