not bad trucks alittle low to the ground for going off tarmac. if buying new with the 3 year parts and labour warrenty see if you can extend it to 4 years i think it only cost an extra 200 quid, well worth it imo.

Evening all
Silly question really but is it possible to have too many chainsaws in your opinion? How many do you currently have and actually use and do you keep spares etc?
Was thinking of thinning out my small collection but was wondering what the general opinion was of saws to cover the different areas they are needed for
yes,and my better half sez so ,current list off current in use saws is,020,023,026,029,032,341,039,044,064,066,088!and i dont do tree work full time.saws not in current use 171ss,08,3120.
-
171 and171ss are models as far asi know.wizzer saws are stihl disc cutters for steel/brick work,

yep,you see plenty of td5 discos with high miles on them for 2k ok if service with them.
-
hi, range rover classics are good tow motors but imo rust buckets and expensive to run even on gas. go for series 2 disco or a defender.

hi,a friend of mine has for sale a wessex(jenson)518 pto chipper on a home built unbraked trailer. the chipper has its own hyd rollers and only needs a12v electric supply .chipper works ok used it the other day.it does not have any anti strees system fitted but its not a major problem.
-
hi,you need at least a 1000w (1KW)for your angle grinder so id look at the 1.5- 2.0 kw gennys. stay clear of chinese made ones with the fake honda style engines,they are sh*t and not worth buying.
-
am i right in thinking you need to drain oil from each side and refill with a 'one-shot' of grease? then it can't leak anymore..
yes ,it will slow the leak down but either fit a pair of new swivel balls(NOT A BAD JOB)or fill your pitted holes up with araldite or liquid metal then when its dry and hard sand down till its smooth. its does work and lasts for a good while but long aset off swivel balls are needed.
-
hi ,like your s1 complete with the capsten winch. also like the neat homemade bulkhead did you make it your selves?

Here's the statement and list of stuff going for auction in ellesmere, shropshire.
Dear Fellow Arborist
Tree Surgery Business Closing Down and Auction of Assetts
My name is Nick Lumb and I have made furniture and done tree surgery in Wrexham and surrounding areas for the last 11 years. I am now shutting down my tree surgery company Acorn ArborCare Ltd and stopping doing tree surgery in order to concentrate on my bespoke furniture business.
One of my unique selling points has been the ability to take a standing tree and turn it into a beautiful piece of furniture; is this a service that you would like to offer to appropriate customers with suitable trees? You would do the tree work and I would make the furniture. Please see my (currently being redeveloped) website for an idea of my style and quality of work. (The tree surgery details will go during the redevelopment).
Now that I now longer do tree work, I will also be needing plankable quality logs, particularly oak but also ash, yew, cherry and walnut of significant size. This is for customers who want me to make furniture but not from their own tree.
If this form of partnership is of interest to you, please email or ring me, or I will see you at the auction.
Finally, I have some kit to sell off at auction including: a Jensen A530T tracked chipper with trailer, a gas converted 130” wheelbase 3.5 litre landrover tipper, Stihl 088 chainsaw, lowering kit and hedgetrimmers. I attach a more comprehensive list to the end of this email (Note that the order of the sale will be different from this list).
The auction starts at 11am on Tuesday 30-Mar-10 at
The Wharf Saleroom
Ellesmere
Shropshire
SY12 0EJ
Viewing is from Saturday 27-Mar-10 from 10 to 12 noon;
Monday 29-Mar-10 9.00am to 5.00pm
And morning of the sale from 9.00am
Best regards

rear pads need to be a quality make like mintex or similar,also just check rear disc calipers are free and not seized.dont bother fitting britpart sh*t part stuff just fit quality parts which is cheaper in the long run.

When I did the 32, the instructor said that the 33 didnt involve anything more than the 32 and wasnt worth doing considering the difficulty in getting suitable trees. Is that what you found now you've done the 33?
had the same conversation as youre self,but managed to do mine a few years ago on the grovenour estate at chester as they had a few large trees which were suitable for the course.having trouble finding some where local to do my windblown/storm damaged ,but threres no rush ....yet!
-
yeh,235s are std size but if i go bigger my speedo will be wrong and on td5s they are digtal so lots of dosh. some td5s did have problems but 300tdi are prone to cracking heads,"p" gaskets leaking etc.etc.
-
:confused1:I can load mine up with well over a ton and pull the vermeer at 70 other than on the hills..they're not THAT slow...:001_rolleyes:And im running 285 BFG muds, and have a rofrack, standard 300tdi.
ditto,my 110 300tdi will do the same,but my 110 td5 will sit at 70 with 3.5 tons behind it both landys on 235 bfg muds!
-
hi, like your trailer and thought about one, how does the quality compare to an ifor?also is it on leaf springs or ind suspension rubbers?
-
Land rovers could be forced to slow down on motorways if government proposals are brought in.
Models with more than eight seats could be limited to 65mph on motorways, while those with a gross weight of 3.5 tonnes or more-130-inch Defenders, say- may be restricted to 60 mph on motorways.
Currently, the limit is 70mph in both cases.
A consultation period runs from february 2 to april 27. If you want to know more or put your views forward see http://tinyurl.com/cutspeedlimit.
As taken from April issue land rover owner magazine.
