Well its coming on nicely mate. Shame the hydr pack has sapped so much power that you have to get your dog to pull you about though!LOL
-
Been out all dfay helping CTS/ dangerous Briean clearing a large ish turkey oak from the road in penzance........Brian finished at 3am this morning, i dont think cts has had any sleep for the last 24 hrs on power line call outs, and is still out now. Its chaos down here! Looks like out again tomorrow going round finishing off various jobs...80mph gusts werent uncommon last night.

Tommy- you never cease to completely amaze me...
-
Just had a quick wiki-look. Thanks for the link. So another solihull winner then? i love the fact that the army were after something such as the RB44 and landy came up with an underpowered cobbled together thing again! isnt that why we love Lode Lane:blushing:
-
Are those Llamas in the pics Ed? When where they made?
-
I havent had RB44s but i did have a dodge 50 with a perkins. That was awesome, and like Ed says, the tweak is sorted on the lump. I do know a chap who swears by the RB44 he has.

You lot should count yourselves lucky- today has been some of the worst rain i have ever seen, and gusts of 76 mph recorded by a local amateur beaufort thingy a friend has about 6 miles away!!!
-
Never mind this weekend- just come home to tip the chip out and have a cuppa (i'm only working 500 yds up the road...) In 5 years of living here i have never seen water in the yard like it, we have about 62 running fast about 12' wide through the yard....and being inthe crown of a 70' mac 1.5 hrs ago was very very 'interesting' as i took out the last few branches whilst the lightning started!!!!! Gusting to 68 mph lunchtime today apparently!!

Top stuff guys- thanks for the offers of help. With that sort of kit and that monster take down for phenom in the bag, ill be needing loads of man power.
-
Hehe- joint effort. He was given the handler for last xmas and the mog is one from when i was about 13. He built them both with the absolute minimum of help from me!
-
I have finally got myself a unimog. Its a 2450.....i think. I have also got this huge telehandler too. Both need a bit of adjustment to make them into really useful tools, but its a start........ I think the mog will need the crane taking off, and i want to up the horsepower....considerably......and i MIGHT have to strengthen the chassis. That goes for the handler too...... What do you guys reckon- lots of potential there for improvement......
-
Says it all.
-
Total dorks i thought, but then TBh i have VERY little time for townies in 4x4s who go off roading at the weekend and think it makes them into tough hard men. Bullied at school i reckon.
-
They are a PITA but if (heaven forbid) you should need it and it is 90' below you on the ground then the annoyance of that would seem fairly insignificant i reckon.
-
Must be what you said earlier. I went out for a day off-roading with him and some guys he knew (never again- the most boring sad twits i have ever spent time with- ended up having a huge row on LR4X4 forum:thumbdown:) and most of these guys fell into two camps- those with every damn thing bolted onto their trucks they could fit, or old dogs bodged up to go off road. I imagine steering pumps could well have been driving winches. The day started with the 'guide' telling everyone to re-familiarise themselves with their trucks as they probably hadnt driven them for a while...WTF?? We then proceeded to do some 'extreme off-roading'.......not much different to where work regularly takes me. I couldnt understand the mentality at all. Rant and derail over.

:confused1:Surely that is a hassle worth putting up with:confused1:

The farmi are excellent. I have used one quite a lot for a mate. They are woodfuel chippers really, but handle green sruff no problem at all. On very rare occasions a piece of wood can get stuck between feed rollers and cutter, but i havent experienced this, although i am told it can happen by the owner of the machine. Bombproof with loads of power behind the chip as it comes out, and he has been running his with a 35hp deutz engine for the last five years after he got rid of his tractor and built a trailer for the chipper. Im not sure which model it is but it has about 9"x8" opening.

self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)

Such a good investment mate:thumbup1: -
i think you can get proper pyrathene bandwheel on the net, or even kits for diy saw. Or buy a second hand Lumbermate/ hudson, which you could probably get for the cost of your time and materials to build one.
-
That is a real shame- i wasnt entirely sure of what i was writing as i got the information from a book a few years ago now, and just tacked the news article onto my post. Is there any program of disease control measure at all, or have i got my facts totally screwed?

Yer days are numbered Lofthouse:lol::lol: Sacrilege

Welcome to arbtalk mate. Nice vids.
-
Im not even sure he meant hyd ones- couldve been electric or as you say off wrong pump set up.
-
Do you want 2nd hand ones, or do you need somewhere for new ones?
-
Arent those milemarkers really slow- my brother is into all that off-roading stuff, and they called them 'watch-the-miles-slowly-marker'
