Good dry firewood is like hay in a barn it's as good as money in the bank

Tp all day long mine took some serious pain and kept going and would chip anything you can feed in to it

I like that Johnny I think they look a lot smarter than transits and round me every transit driver is a jipo on the rob or advertising lopping and topping ha i remapped my 08 plate defender and now it could make the earth spin the other way it's down to 15-18 mpg plus I want something I can huck my chipper up to and do to domestic jobs with.would it pull my ifor tipper behind it loaded ok

Forwarding trailer/crane and splitter hiring out rates?
walkerboys replied to cessna's topic in Large equipment
I hire in a lad with his own tractor and splitter for the ever increasing customers that want to keep the wood but not a clue how to even start splitting it he charges me £25 per hour -
I used to take mine on the mway all the time vosa never realy bothered me go pulled up once got checked it was on red and they let us go nothing said all cranes are on red diesel it's just the luck on the day and make sure it's 100% rite
-
A decent mulcher should nail that in a day
-
In this day and age a good grounds man should be on £100 a day
-
Greenmech 150 for me is wel worth a look the side rollers will suprise you with what they can snap and drag in think its a 750kg as a tow machine and the realy good on diesel get at least 2 days of very heavy work to 1 tank of fuel
-
Sorry it's RAF
-
I'm having a go at a navey gore tex jacket surplus army coats brand new found it on eBay think it was only £35 they are fairly long so won't be that good for climbing but a brilliant groundsman coat worth a look
-
That's just the USA for you for every 1 we have here they will have 100 if not 1000 it's just the size of the country same goes for everything mowers grinders chippers trucks and so on
-
Ha love the little grinder in the hopper of the chipper mog looks well same coulour as my 1200
-
Were abouts are you?theres Atkinson vos in Bentham there tp dealers mine came from there!think they are around 14k for a new 1 worth every last penny
-
Try and go for the tp250 if the buget can stretch to that there's nothing they carnt handle
-
You won't go wrong with a TP chipper easy to maintain and a good strong chipper and does produce some nice chip
-
Think I'm just going for the usual pants boots blower fuel can and shopping for a new potential grinder. Anyone getting excited for a big purchase
-
The new hilux will be tow 3.5 ton that would get my vote but I would get a disco over anything my defender is good but anything with a bit of distance it cripples me
-
I demoed the forst and got a greenmech arbtrak 150 it was a bit cheaper over all and with the side rollers it seems to snap every thing so a lot less snedding up!just my opinion but realy didn't like the forward backward sensors on the side on the forst
