  2. Always look at the date on the post before replying !!!
  3. Secret is not to heat up the steel so just a little at a time and keep checking should only be warm to the touch
  4. So how will it work the 90 can’t carry it so you are going to use a trailer then there is the oil cooler and electric supply the chipper will need it’s own hoses, the landrover will have to have a hand throttle fitted and a tacho to show revs . If the idea floated someone would have already got one, the cost will be far more than a engine version plus you will be running on white diesel I see no benefits to a trailed or pto version
  5. I've often wondered this because the force used to get the tree over is from a different direction i.e. upwards not sideways and i worry that with alot of force you could pop the hinge off. The cause of the only major accident I have had felling used a 20 tonne bottle jack on a leaning sycamore popped hinge before pushing tree over only took out telephone wires could have been a lot worse,
  6. How are you intending to power the chipper with the pto?
  7. Including high heels?
  8. Ok I go first poplar
  9. But very funny
  10. There is also the micro bull not seen one in the flesh yet but look handy
  11. Two importers in the uk very well built I have the bigger cmf1500 can’t fault it also comes with a Diesel engine
  12. Then look hard at the tracked cormidi c85 try before you buy. the skidsteers can make quite a mess, you will need a supply of mats for protection of grass and paving but they do the work of a man and work out cheaper than employing
  13. Don’t forget the kanga they all Suffer from poor lift height avant has the best but is unstable if arms are extended,try before you buy. I did then bought an avant pivot steer so much better
  14. Does it not say in the parts book if not phone track supplier they will tell you how to measure
  15. It will move just need to plan first I have moved them with a tirfor and buried landrover spare wheel just need to keep it off the ground on rollers and not rush the job or just get a big hiab
  16. And still gets them on the wrong feet!!!
  17. Lads got stopped at Dartford two months ago 1.5 tonnes over on back axle 200 kgs over on front £600 fine unload vehicle and reweigh let go it depends on how you treat the people at the weigh bridge
  18. Why not mill the existing surface and recompact 1 day 1 man with a tractor and rotavator 1 man on the roller change out of £2000
  19. Had one the same 30 years ago on a 13 tonner fastest method of dealing with stumps we had, wore out pretty quick and got ripped to bits when put on a cat 215
  20. Been asking about load testing a crane jib I’ve made, been quoted £350.00 to load test and certify including self adhesive Swl sticker, stamped I’d tag is extra
  21. This is a can of worms looked at it for my snow plough, rules on position beam and height all come into play far more than just chucking onto the vehicle, plunging in was not simple, I bought the lighting kit from e bay and fitted it permanently with bolts and own dedicated plug
  22. When you lift the bucket does the load empty over the machine ?
  23. At a guess slightly older than her teeth and the same age as her eyes!! not quite the question a gentleman asks a lady!
  24. They are not up to current standards so can’t be registered for the road as new vehicles, however you can reimport them then it’s up to you
  25. Make whatever you do make noise,lots of it line your shed with steel takes time to cut, then place lights to cover the area, you need to make them have to take time and make noise they will then look for easier pickings. lock the tools in a cage inside the building two doors = twice as long defend in depth don’t rely on just one method fit a silent alarm as well they won’t know they haven’t defeated it careful who you let near the shed tell knowone what you do all alarms work set yourself a budget then see what you can do for the money most you can do yourself me I have got big dogs and some other bits you can try monitored alarms but they are usually in and out quicker than the companies can respond Keep your chin up
