  1. brilliant , thanks Ed , will give you a shout tomorrow morning
  2. Hi there , i own a U1600 ag , we use ours for chipping and moving timber , a fair amound of our work is off road as we sub contract to glendale and clear HV utility lines , we find our mog to be perfect for doing what we do and would highly reccomend a unimog if you have enough use for one . The guys you need to speak to on here that run mog and have done for much longer than me are Skyhuck and Steve Blair , there are a few other guys on here too . So what size mog were you looking to get ?
  3. Great , thanks for that Paul , i will order some this week
  4. it would insure for the book value , insuring vehicles is somewhat different to insuring plant and equipment , it is frustrating when you know that you go a deal and could not replace that piece of kit for what you paid .
  5. go on then i will give you three grand for it ,
  6. sack the spanner monkey and keep it going , im fairly sure you can double the miles you have put on it before having to think about trading it in
  7. who is stocking the smocks for sale ? i like the look of them for the winter , my only question is does the smock conform with highways regs for use as opposed to a high viz vest , we usually find that many of the waterproof jackets dont comply so you end up wearing a long sleved vizy vest over the jacket
  8. why not ? it will go well with your chip oil chain lube !! does it not make you hunglry while your working ?
  9. hmm now that is an interesting idead , i may well have a god look into it .
  10. this is the part that im talking abut , this sits betwene the feed rolers and the flywheel Kwikchip Type Anvil 160/180/270/200/222
  11. there should be some plates betwene the feed rolers and the flywheel - these are what im calling the anvil , as far as i am aware kwik chipps have these just like most other chippers , the problem is that they wear in the middle and cause chip to jam betwene the rolers and anvil . this has nothing to do with the chipper blades etc .
  12. and another 15k on the price tag lol . never the less they do look nice
  13. mid to late spring (and not raining lol)
  14. have you had a look at the anvil(s) betwene the feed rolers and the flywheel(rotor) ? these do become worn and need replacing from time to time .
  15. personally i would guess that a small kubota tractor would be the best bet lol . i can see a caravan shifter being man enough to stop that if it decides to get away
  16. No im implying that because we use roughly 80 - 100 litres of fuel a week i am not to keen on ordering it in from somwhere up the line and having to pay carrage on it just to get it here , if there was somewhere in cornwall then i would look into it . however there is not anyone as far as i am aware so im not . simples !
  17. another idea may be to consult with who ever you have taken employers and public liabilitty out with and see if there are any age exclusions/ resrictions or if you may need to change the level/type of cover that you have in place .
  18. thats interesting , i was reading their warranty details and in would appear that if you use anything other than husky two stroke in the fuel mix then you rissk your saw not being covered by the waranty . any way you learn something new every day , just a shame down in cornwall thee is no one selling aspen
  19. just a thought really , was thinking that running a saw in on aspen my well effect the warranty .
  20. And it is a pleasure to be able to access such wide and varied banks of information , i have had my eyes opened to so many systems of works and ideas since becoming a member . and a fair amount of it has been from guys in the US , OZ and NZ . I Do think that it is healthy and usefull to view systems of work that differ from what is taught in this country
  21. i would proabably run it in on regular fuel and then make the change , i dont think that the saw needs to be re tuned to run on aspen
  22. They are usefull if your snatching down bigger timber , i find they work quite well for that but in general lowering i find either a loopy sling or better still a dead eye sling is far better
  23. exactly - deleted = not there any more , but lets be honest if your religous then you could class "christ" as an expletive couldnt you ? . so what was wrong with tommers post then ?
  24. to be fair to the guy there are massive differences in legislation over ther to what we have to deal with , fair enough alot of what is carried out over there may not be acceptable in the uk but it is still worth having a look and seeing the job from another angle .
  25. my only confusion is to why you felt the need to ask a question and then become so hostile when you read something you dont like - as for being rude i do not see where stating that various very experienced forresters/ cutters dont know what they are talking about has anything to do with being rude .
