I have always been a fan of TREK and Kona.I have a cindercone with XT throughout and a steel frame. It all depends if you want rigid frame/ forks / hardtail etc. If it is for fitness then i assume hardtail?

That landy may not be as straight as it looks- it has had a respray without the dents doing. You can see the damage under the passenger door and the passenger wing has been pushed in, all the usual landy knocks and scrapes. It seems to be a fairly well priced machine given the age and the tipping butt which is very smart. Still a TD5 though. Nene overland (4x4 Land Rover Defender 130 and 110 Tippers and Dropsides supplied by Nene Overlandmay be worth a look, plus the classifieds in the landrover mags, if your feeling brave:scared1:

That Jensen was a very impressive machine. I have used another the same. I am especialy impressed by where it will go, but also the no-stress controll, which cuts in little and often as opposed to letting the engine revs drop alot before cutting in, which means that on the Jensen you jave very little time to wait for the engine to pick up again.

How much do those of you running 6-7" sort of range chippers reckon that you can chip in an hour? I only ask as i have had my old Vermeer for years now, and not really ever compared it to others. I did an hours solid chipping of Macrocarpa today, and filled my chipbox to overflowing, which is just shy of 3.5 cubic metres. Is that good , average or slow i want to know.

It was a 55 plate. Awesome tool, but i am used to driving swing shovels, which have the 'euro' controls. On a wheeled digger they are back to front, although on the newest machines there is a switch.....Soooooo much power though, and that 4in1 bucket is amazingly useful.

He he- me too. Been on a JCB we hired in for two days doing ditches and putting hedges back up and laying new water pipes- late nights getting most out of hire, thats my excuse. Off out with the chipper in a mo.

So true. Worked for a guy week before last, who brought out a 3 yr old ms180. I was leaving all the wood in lengths and he was going to log it later. I was sort of impressed that it wasnt a ryobi etc, but totally unsurprised when he looked at me blankly when i asked him if he even had a helmet.....then he started the whole sawing thing (using a running saw like a handsaw- you know) and when i asked him if he had sharpened it he just looked confused. I left it at that. He'll never change. Not my problem.

I do stress the importance as much as ican, of wearing PPE and of some sort of saw maintainence. We are not going to stop these people, but if we can make it a bit safer for them so much the better. We cannot insist that they get the relevant quals/ gear, but are well within our rights, and possibly have a moral? duty to give some sort of guidance. I would never be so formal as to offer training for the reasons that have been mentioned. If you do want to go down that route, get qualified as an instructor just to do the basic 2 day Lantra course if you can. That basic chainsaw course costs only about £180 ish i think and would be perfect for the mculloch crew, giving them the minimum legal training to use a saw. At the end of the day though, if you point out the dangers they are exposing themselves to then you can do no more, and the responsibility is theirs then, and your conscience clear.
