verry true huck , do you know if he got his money in the end ?

will pm you

maybe try giving Nick Courtyer a call , you may well know hin he has a log business on the Newton to Ipplepen road , i know he is usually looking for timber but sadly i dont have his number .

tell you what i have a spare set of bashlins light alloy spikes , £100 and they are yours mate , i wasnt going to sell them but hey whats the point in having two sets of spikes

ooops , hope he has got his money tho lmao

Great stuff glad to hear you have got your landy back , was it danaged at all ?

i would pop in and see your solicitor or a debt colection company and use them to get your money , i would NOT contact the client of have any comunications with them what so ever as this may well cause trouble getting the money for you . i think you will find thats it is an offence to cancel a cheque without having good reason to do so . does the client have any cause to do this an anyway what so ever and did you have an agrement of even a writen quotation ??

personally i would go for a set of light alloy bashli spikes , i have not tried the Geco spikes but can assure you that the light alloy bashlin spikes are as goo as it gets and extreamyl comfortable and will last you a blooby long time

when i firs started out i used to hire a 6 inch green mech (which was pants) but it got me started and did what i needed but after a while it started breaking down an awfull lot so i went into the hewden hire branch that i had it on hire from and had a chat with the manager and he said he would see what he would do about getting something better seeing as i had it on contant hire , so about a week later i went in to pay my account and the manager told me that they had ordered a brand new Timber Wolf for me to hire but it would cost me another £65 a week = 250 per week inc vat so i agreed to hire it long term , so 7 days later they call me to tell me that the chipper is there and ready to pick up so i poped in on my way home to swap chippers over , but to my supprise i found that it was not the 150 that i was expecting it was the 190 !! so i signed the paper work and off i went . A few weeks later the manager called me to tell me that things may be changing as Speedy Hire had just bought Hewden Hire out and that they may be getting rid of the chipper as they do not hire anything bigger than a 6 inch chippers so i asked him to put a word in for me and to see if they would sell it to me , a few months later after Speedy had bought out Hewdens i got a call asking if i would still like to buy the chipper , i agreed that i did so it was offered to me for £8000 and only just over six months old - an offer i could not turn down so i bought the chipper . I think the hire only worked out for me in the end because i got a vbloody good chipper out of it for next to nothing but had it not been for that then i think i would of had to call it a day in the end . i look back now and ask myself would i spend £50 a day on chippper hire and the answer is not however it dod get me started so i cant complain to be honest

i wish i had known you wanted a kids rock climbing harness tommer , i have a DMM kids harness that i got when a bought a load of rock climbing gerar for an instructor

some great points there tommer , im still really not sure what to do , i think the ranger will have the winch fitted and thats it , lets face it , it is what it is and does verry well , i have realised recently that it aint up for being loaded to the max every day but it is good off road and great when im called out for western power and i need to get me brian and a shed load of kit miles accross fields .

im not sure of who is looking for staff at the moment , there is always Devon ?Tree services , Knpwe; tree care, max bayles - they are the people i would call first oh and Teign trees , but you could always give murray angel a ring , not sure if he is doing much these days but he could be usefull , i should be up next weekend with a truck load of kit so if you wanna try out a 357 let me know mate

so who you working for in torquay ? i used to live just down the road in teignmouth

i also have a b2500 i have had it 5 years and its had a tough time lol but it does go where ever i like , part of the reason for diff locks is purely to assist when we are towing our chipper (tw190) off road and other trucks but it is only an idea

to be honest the reason i want to fit the winch i have to the ranger and looking into diff locks is because we do alot of utility work but also have to travel a fair distence lets be honest its comfortable to drive , it WILL go anywhere a landrover does and i dont spend any time under the bonnet lol , i used to use a landrover when i worked for a company in devon and i found that at 6ft2 tall it was really not comfortable to drive but each to there own i think if you have one vehicle that you use for everything then yeah maybe a landy is for you but i want this to be for utility work where it will not be carrying massve weight but it will spend loads of time off road etc . as for getting stuck myself and dangerous brian were out in the snow on rthurday at work and ended up pulling cars and transit vans up a fairly steep hill and to be honest i was pretty impressed how well the ranger did tbh. but i must say thanks for the advice tommer i do appreciate it mate , give me a shout next time the landy is stuck in a muddy puddle lmao

cool thanks tom i will give them a shout in the morning . IO really do think that its the one think that the ranger lacks well other than a meaty chasis lol

Hiya guys , i have been thinking about fitting diff locks to my ford ranger as it is not fitted with them but im not at all sure weather this is possible , my idea was to look into fitting air lockers a bit like the ones that can be fitted to a landrover , does anyone know if this is possible ??

it will be used for both , but mainly self recovery and recovering the chipper or even other vehicles tommer

yeah verry true ,i will have to give trust a call and see what they say as i have a fleet policy which is not specific to and vehicle , thanks for that will look into it

i am running some husky 357xp's and apart from the trouble with the carb on one saw needing replacment i have not had any trouble with them and to be fair husky did replace the carbs on all my 357's for free which is more than can be said for stihl , i have had several ms200t's that have had the dodgy carbs in them from new and at less than 6 months old they need replacing , so i ring stihl technicle services and tell them what the problem is and the make and model of the carb and they tell me that i will need to buy new carbs and that they will not replace them or discount the cost of the carbs !!! Both Stihl and Husky have their downfalls but personally if you like husky's then i wouldf go for a 357xp

i would agree that there is nowt wrong with a bit of filler BUT if im spending 40 i want more than a few tins of filler , a merc badge and a vos sticker for it

not for everything that comes with it no , all sounds just a bit too go to be true , personally i would source a mog , then look into getting a chipper and then a trailer at least that way you get exactll what you want

yeah will do , i would have poped over today but brian had the truck and the scooby only likes doing circles ha ha , as for the mogs i think it really is a case of trial and error , and knowing what your looking at . tbh i would not look at paying 40k on a u1300 with a chipper and trailer ,

i really dont get it , if vos has such a bad reputation then how the hell does he sell so many mogs ?? i have heard of some terror stories regarding them but you do have to ask your self just how many of then are true and how many people buy a mog and dont know what they are doing with it ???

i spoke to a fabricator and to make something to fit my truck would cost me 450 - 500 quid , at least if you buy a winch mount from a company you may have some come back if it breaks etc i have learnt the hard way before when trying to save a few quid - it dont work , simples!
