IFA Multicar 4WD Tipper Truck | eBay

Yes it's a tad basic. It's a shame peter is not doing them anymore, he had a great looking product! Maybe one day he will start again.

Just seen this on ebay. Looks like some one pinched peters pro tipper idea. PowerTipper.co.uk

Damn it! I just gave away about £10000 of stools!

I've worked with a smoker before and it's annoying that they seem think it's their right to sit around and smoke while the rest worked. Worked it out he smoked 2wk a year while we worked. Oh and it stinks.

I agree, i happily give it away! If someone wants to give me a drink great but im just happy to see the back of it! If any other companies wants mine ill happy give it to them, its a pain in the rear for me! im in Berkshire, near Ascot. Cheers

i hadnt thought of the weight tbh. I was sat in bed last night when i came across one and thought it might do 2 jobs in one. bummer back to the drawing board. Thank you for the replies, it will save me hours of googling and visits to car dealers to look at trucks.

Just wondering if anybody here uses american pick ups? every other day people ask about hilux/ranger/ l200 double cabs for work. and the general response is the tub is too small and doesnt hold much. Well how about the american ones. I know they are over all much bigger but the trade off is a bigger tub on the back. and you still have a comfy double cab for 4-6 people! Be keen to hear if any body had or does do this. im looking into it, potentially swapping my 4x4 ( got a jeep commander) to something like a GMC Silverado. that way i have a comfy vehicle and can also use it for work ( with added sides and perhaps a load handler). I have a vauxhall movano for my main day to day work truck. This would work 1-2 days a week on smaller jobs. Please let me know your thought and experiences. Cheers

Yes as much as I tried and wanted it to work the importers really dropped the ball! The fiat doesn't come in tipper mode though. Unless u get it custom made I guess. Or use a load handler but don't know if this is viable for daily use

Plus vat!

Well a quick update. I tried to buy one of these. was told by the imported at the drive it day where they had the official release of the 4wd model that they were in the country ready to go. Got list of options available, had a chat, gave him details of what i wanted in order to turn it into a mini arb truck. Not problems as they had the staff to build anything i wanted. Great. Paid a deposit. and.................................. that was july. ive now just got the response that they no longer wish to proceed with the order, in not so many words blaming me. I ordered it, told 4-6 weeks to build it ( most the bits were already in their available options catalogue). 8 weeks later and i cant remember how many calls and emails trying to find out any info whats so ever. Eventually i cancelled my order and this finally got a response. they had only done a few mods in nearly 2 months that would take any body builder a day or 2 max. Literally the cut off 2 ladder supports, put a sheet across the roof and rear screen and started to fabricate a simple box. the upper sides is meant to be a factory option that slots into place. Oh and cant have a 4wd as there is a problem, but wont say what or why. From the start anything i asked them took a week minimum to respond to. Its been by far the hardest ive ever had to try in my life to spend money! funny thing is ive failed! unless i am missing something if somebody was willing to spend over £20K on a brand new product id be jumping through hoops to keep them happy and promote my product. I think this has potential to be a great little truck, unfortunately the people importing seem to have no desire to treat the customers as customers. They have wasted my time and energy and i really cant see why tbh. ill try and add a pic of what they did do in 2 months of work. oh and the height had to be no higher than the cab but looking at those rear hinges they are way over! Cheers DFSK you have let yourself down terribly.

Hi Arborist Yes your welcome to as much as you want! drop me a line. Size wise i tend to have to hump it out of back gardens so it has to be manageable by hand. To save future cutting i tended to cut it to 10 inch thick rings mostly ( unless out of time). I was planning to get into firewood and hadnt figured the best way to handle it/ store and stack. I know some people keep it in lengths but split, others just lengths. mine is all arb waste. like i said its all been sat for about 2 yrs. i had plans but family tragedy ruined it all and the firewood went with it. TBH i am happy to help with the loading but arranging the lorries to deliver is not something i have experience with and at this time not looking to start doing. Many thanks Jose

Hi all I have quite a lot of logs sat in a field. They have been there for about 2yrs now. Mostly cut to suitable size. I would guess there is about 20-30 transit loads there. Mixture of hard and soft wood. I need to remove them ( in a friends filed). I can prob arrange use of a loader to help load them up. They are in Wokingham, Berkshire. Looking to shift them or else i am going to have a big old bonfire. I was planning to get into firewood but life decided that it wasn't to be. Please pm me if you may be interested. A large lorry (artic size) lorry can get very close and a loader can do the rest. Many thanks

i have 2 cats and a dog, personally think dogs are much better all round. cats are friendly (when they want to be) and for some a good pet. i think a lot can be learned/ gained from simple measures. a bell which is simple and cheap. secondly a curfew. Keep them indoors at night. This is done in Australia i believe and greatly protects the wildlife that comes out at night. This and using a cat litter tray is going to cut down on their messing others gardens. (in my last house every cat in the neighbour hood used my garden as a toilet. disgusting) Not a hundred percent effective but its going to help and the cats are not worse for wear. Add to this any cat caught after hrs ( which must have a contact number / micro chip will be returned to the owner ( perhaps charge a small fee) but have a 3 strikes type system where it will be re homed or destroyed if repeatedly been left out. also lastly any cats caught out repeatedly should also be neutered to help control the numbers. lastly dog owners that let their dogs crap everywhere and not pick it up should be tied to a post and have it rubbed in their faces! amount of times i step in it on the local parks and around kiddie play areas is terrible. no excuse. i used nappy sacks, cheap as anything and take 3-4 at a time, so light i dont even feel them. there is no excuse

Saw the 230 at the Saltex show the other day, looking like a great machine. when i replace mine i will definately have a demo on this. well laid out and easy to access / service. what more can u ask? ive had 2 tw125s and the predecessor entec and never had any issues with the tw range ( had a 190 on load for about 3 months now from an old 4" entec thats like chipper heaven!!). i run a 4 man team and this would be more than enough to keep the guys busy all day. glad to see that the weak points have been addressed ( bearings, grease points etc). just need a fold down shoot and its all there! well done.

thanks guys I had been wanting to get something done for about the last 10 yrs ( already had a couple) but losing my bro gave me the inspiration. I thought of all the things that we did and that meant so much to him and put them together, got advice and ideas from friends and family and it all came together love it. may get a bit more color to the sun but overall i love it.

inspiration taken from this pic which was a holiday we took together shortly before we lost him.

my latest. Its to remember my brother who died april 2014 we started our tree firm together

Hi All I bought tickets for a few of my firends and one couple have dropped out leaving me in the S@@t. I have 2 camping and show tickets for this coming weekend at the staffordshire venue. Tickets were £197 each so i am after as much as i can ( minimise my loss). If anybody wants to go / is interested please pm me. Many thanks Jose

i got a vauxhall movano and the lights got broken. I got a friend who was hand with a welder to make me some guards, cost me £20. i would do it myself but no welder. Admittedly not a pretty as them but basically the same thing. went to get new lenses the other day, vauxhall quoted me £240! + VAT in their wisdom they will only sell the entire uniot, housing and all ( but no bulbs). £20 each for the lenses on ebay. its a crazy world we live in some days!

I thought possibly a caucasian wing-nut. but not sure really.

Got emailed this picture and i cant pin down what i think it is. Any help would be great. Cheers
