    adequate and documented training is what is required. Nptc is just our way of accrediting this.

    at the far end of the log in the second picture the branch stubs visible look characteristic of the epicormic growth you often see on oak (sessile oak at a guess)

    thanks for the info guys very much appreciated Currently we run a 110 and a 130 unfortunately theres 3 guys and me (i sometimes have to be elsewhere) so if I shoot off somewhere else: 2 seats and three guys. was thinking of going for the crew cab to solve this as 3 seats in the front of the landy isnt fun for anybody involved! as long as it doesnt cause a problem with losing too much chip capacity. its either that or have a little van following us around carrying kit and a guy.

    last time i worked out my mileage was a while ago in my old p reg 90 (300tdi) 35mpg havent bothered to do the maths again since but i know our 110 td5 feels more like 28-30

    Thank you Minotaur thats helpfull, where did you get the figures for the chipbox size of the 130 crew cab? have you used the length and width of a hicap tub on a 130 crew cab? or do you have a 130 crew cab tipper. many thanks

    Im sure somebody has the answer for me: I'm not after info on weight info etc.... if any body out ther has one - what would be the cubic metre capacity of a tipper bed (full height body for arb/ chip use) considering a crew cab but want to compare the size of the bed against our single bed 130 and the body we have on our 110 to see if its a viable option. would love to go the mog route but cant sort out the O licence and drivers licence quickly enough.

    Ive recently been advised to remove the shrouds from spliced ropes, where fitted - as they tend to hold dirt and grit which may damage this part of the rope

    managed to finally pop in the other day they gotto get into a bigger place with more space and gear. lots of big husky and stihl banners - but no saws on show? bought some graphite powder - last of the big spenders eh

    oh and a 7.5 ton license

    sory for hi -jacking Ferguson forestry - can i just clarify for myself.... If i went out and bought an agri reg mog tommorow and stuck a chipper on it for arb work - i would need to re reg for road use, use white deisel and get an O license. thanks

    Dont be cheap to win work It may get you about when you start up. But the customers you win when your cheap you will lose as your prices rise to sustainable levels.
  13. Dean O
    thanks for the input guys
  14. Dean O
    I think the question your asking is - if the mog is classed as ag and therefor technically a tractor can you use it for tree work without the need for a 7.5ton licence and OL. I'd like to know this for sure too - tho' Im sure the answers probably no! I'd be quite happy to use it on white if thats the case as dont have a big enuf licence

    all stripped out with the cane. orriginal plan was to spend a day rigging out then a day with the crane for the big timber. Time constraints meant we had to get them both done in a day. I'm inexperienced with cranes so we got Tim in for the climbing to make sure it was all done and dusted on schedule.

    Oh P.S you forgot to give the client a card for the stump grinding - So i gave him your mob number from my phone.
  17. Dean O
    Crikey - you were quick getting those up. Thanks for your work today - everything went nice and smooth. Will get the other pictures up asic.

    any body use a compact tractor? cant justify a real tractor and dont know if what I'm after is available - Am I asking for the moon on a stick? 4 wheel drive able to run a pto chipper small timber trailer and crane (like an atv TT) topper. maybe a loader? am i right in thinking that i would need 35hp plus to run a pto chipper. any info gratefully recieved from anyone who employs one.
  19. Dean O
    90, ifor tipper and ramps and a track chipper is a handy combo - except when full you have to tip off and return for the chipper
  20. Dean O
    We must have a saw from the same batch! - its latest problem is poor running. (p.s we us texaco petrol)
  21. Dean O
    think i'd go Iveco But i do like the cabstars as an alternative - nice and narrow (but expensive parts)
  22. Dean O
    get the angle grinder out on the hilux Tim Im wanting to change our 130 for a new 110 hicap. although the 130's bigger I'm not sure its better as full its overloaded anyway. Think it would probably make sense to buy a chasis cab from LR and just take it to a coach builders unless you can find a low mileage Hicap td5 take the tub off and go from there - but they seem to be like hens teeth

    luckily I dont have the time for hobies anymore, doh
  24. Dean O
    if 5m cube was to be felled and left onsite to season ready for its intended use (after may) would this still be an issue?
  25. Dean O
    On the up side the perp is probably wasting his time any way - Ive never seen this work. would of thought some roundup would do a better job
