definately email alex, i was talking to him this week about this, if you dont get the alignment 100% you will goose your pto on the mog, he recomends putting the reverser straight off the mog not onto the pto then chipper. send him an email mate. a din/schmidt plate doesnt cost much. a few hundred pounds.

hi mate, i know what you are saying. the thought of taking the trailer on and off every time i want to use the chipper, or trying to jacknife it. the trailer i plan on using would be a nightmare to extend. but thanks for the input. mike you are a genius. i will rigg something up, once i get the chipper dimensions. good thinking:001_smile:

you can get a clutch kit, roller bearing, washer, circlips. i always carry spares. nothing like hitting a bit of string and the circlip gets knocked off and you cant find anything on the ground:thumbdown:

you want a litamiser dave, it has a brush that spins in the opposite direction and throws it into a bin. it has a high tip so you can tip into trailers.

shove all the ropes in a drum of water, wrap round tree, drag them through a prusik as if you were descending a tree, thats a sure way of squeezing all the gunk out them and this time it wont all go up your sleave:001_smile:manky kit drives me mad, busy or not. wet ropes pulled out the bag a week later:scared1:the joys of working for a big company. i used to have to share climbing kit with the boss, he would do hommers all weekend in the rain and just stuff it all back in the bag for monday:thumbdown:have a nice day tomorrow rod:001_smile:
