Find another 3k or so and you can have my Land rover tipper, all singing all dancing awesomeness. Its in the classifieds BTW and i would split the trailer off it if you (or anyone else) was serious.

Very reliable- its a toyota after all, and when loaded they are pretty unstoppable. Unladen i found mine to both be awful on and especially off road, and the load carrying ability leaves a bit to be desired. As a first 4x4 they are pretty good, you can always upgrade to a land rover later, as it should hold its price quite well if you loo after it. And i have seen them with tipper conversions too! I bent my second one though.

Does anyone have any experience of buying vehicles abroad and what it takes to bring them into the UK, vis-a-vis import duty and uk registration etc. I may be looking at a mog abroad, which i dont think is even registered, but want to find out what the pitfalls are before i get involved. Thanks, Tommer.

Absolute class!!

Dave, I have been slogging for about the last 12, and am just very tentatively thinking about a mog. Wanted one for years, and now i am in a position that i can get one, even though it will be a little bit of a stretch. One i am looking forward to though, if it happens.

Yeah- thats one serious guy.

I'm sure this will have been seen before, but I liked it. Love the way the guy cuts himself a doorway, and the one he starts at 4.08 is great.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tTs4MA0uXM&NR=1]YouTube - Dangerous tree cutting, tree climbing, big tree felling by Ace Tree[/ame]

When at the end of the climb you come down to the ground and go to put your rope away, pull the whole thing back through the tree. I.e, if you had a t.i.p 50' up, using 140' rope, when you come down you will have 50' of rope betweeen your harness and your t.i.p, 50' coming down to the rest coiled/ lying on the ground. Pull all 95' through the tree, this will help keep your rope de-tangled, i.e not hockling.

Yeah, fair play, that was exactly the way i worked it before i got my bandsaw.

Me too, but what a film.....

Who cares what you've started...........You have got the best avatar. 'Ah, oh, no... well, I don't think they wanted me to talk really. I don't think they wanted me to say anything. It was just their way of having a bit of fun, the swines. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras. '

You really need a bandsaw to mill wood such as yew. The alaskan is too wasteful IMO. Same if milling inch boards.

They are awesome creatures, and non aggressive too. :sad:I have sadly milled/killed a lot recently as they had laid loads of eggs in a load of Jap Larch I have been milling. -
Its not worth it mate, its rubbish, just dont tell anyone on arbtalk........ Mick- i am really wanting a mog, but cant have both. There was one on ebay that really got me thinking, and thats why i put landy up for sale, and there is possibly one in scotland (not an arbtalkers one) if i do ever sell. Not going to rush into it though.
-
Most recent one was a gate crook - boring i know, but it was about 15' up an ash!

Someone buy my landrover and trailer pleeeease.
