  1. mine is a 53 reg single cab , 2700 gvw aint too bad , you need to look at what it will weigh with a tipper , i will weigh mine tomorrow and let you know , i would highly reccomend one , ours does alot of work and has a fairly rough old time with the ammound of time it spends off road trying to folow the mog ! and then getting dragged the rest of the way !!
  2. hiya guys , I am a little unsure of the situation with the removal of TPO'd trees or Cons area trees when they are within a Phytophthora Ramorum site . any advice would be greatly recieved .
  3. im looking at getting a husky but not sure if i should get the 390 or 395 , is there any true difference ? im also considdering buying the 390 that tommer is about to offer me !!!! lmfao
  4. I have a converted ranger tipper and it has plenty of room for chip , the tipper also has a tool box built in , we measured how many logs the ranger carries in comparison to a cab star and to my supprise it carries the same amount .
  5. what wron with a bit of rustik fancing Hamma ? i think its widely used in these areas to get youngsters used to what they will spend 23 hours a day looking at when they get locked up !!! as for the tree i can only say its a shame it was not a leyland lol
  6. you can run a 5 inch schliesing off of a compact , i have used one and found it to be ok , but if you purely want a chipper than i would get a tracked machine
  7. brilliant , thanks huck , BTW where did you get the picture of me to use in your Avatar ?
  8. not even in crawler ?
  9. oh right cool , looks like i may well have not got a front linkage !!!! hmmm maybe with a little adaption i could make it fit !!!!
  10. as the title says - I have bought a front linkage that has come off of a u1000 and i was pretty sure it will fit my u1600 but the seller thinks that it wont . Any ideas guys ?
  11. i know a guy using on to move static caravans and he has put it up for sale and has gone back to using his old u1000 , he says the sprinter engine is most of what letts it down when towing , oh and that the lack of power does not help when towing off road
  12. from what i have heard from western power they are not all that guttsy and not overly great off road , what are you thinking of fitting on the front/back and how off road do you need to go ? Personally i would look at a u5000 , nice bit of kit !!!!!!!
  13. can you not leave one of the trucks in the yard for the utility co ? thats what we tend to do if we are working away
  14. I thought it read that you though it was a load of tosh tat you can get a shock from lv through a tree . Also your network guidelines will comply with G55/2 thus meaning that at no point should you be in a position of cutting open wire lv where there is an imediate risk of shock .
  15. sorry to burst your bubble but it is pretty easy to get a shock from 240 volts , i have been on sigh when this has happened .
  16. As far as im aware no where is it stated that the use of a top handled saw one handed is banned , in fact i seem to remember reading that the only time that it should be considered is when a work position can not be achieved safely without the use of one hand
  17. imo tree work is as dangerous as you want it to be , es years ago the money was a bit better but then climbers were pretty thin on the ground , now colleges are turning out hundreads per year .
  18. yeah all sounds about right , i dont know why i has 2.8 in my head for firewood !! Have you ever used or seen a Vimek 606 mini forwarder in action ? if so what are your opinions ?
  19. i guess we will have to wait and see what happens . I have just been looking on line to refresh my memmory on cuting lengths and diamiters but can not find anything for the life of me , i once knew the basics but i guess its one of thos things that if you dont use if regularly you tend to forget !!! lol must be the age too !!
  20. something like this ? Mitsubishi 4x4's Go Into Action With The Environment Agency
  21. this is part of the reason that i want to try and get into the smaller plantations where a harvester is not an option , ha also because i dont have one lmao , but with a bit of luck the hand cut timber should stay pretty steady when it comes to £
  22. I guess thats not to bad considdering the demmand for timber at the moment , i wonder how long it will be before prices start to drop off a little
  23. my other halfs young bro has just got a 4x4 , he got a shogun pinni , and in all honesty its not too bad for what it is , just be carefull insuring a 4x4 it aint cheep !!
  24. have you a snow plough lined up for your new wee mog ?
