I have been registered with BSL from the beginning and not sold a single log because of/via it. It's all just regular sales, no customers have ever mentioned it. Seems like a waste of time for me.
-
That's pretty terrible for a £1k saw. Did go back to Stihl with it? I'd be pretty disappointed.
-
Unbolt the ramp and turn the chipper around! And you're ready to go. Must be able to get a decent 3 year old one for £1k.

I don't know of any specifically but you could modify a ifor gd84 pretty easily. 1.25cm internal width, 2.5 length.

I think you are right. You can have dual tanks but the 'red one' can't be connected to the engine used to propel the vehicle.
-
I think that was what ended the concorde. I think it was actually the impact of the tyre hitting the tanks in the wing that caused a pressure build up which burst seams elsewhere in the tank causing fires etc. Could he wrong, just what I remember of it.

Jinxed myself. Proper frost this morning!
-
Ha! Can't argue with physics!

The bucket at the end reminds me of terminator 2 thumbs up! https://media.giphy.com/media/gFwZfXIqD0eNW/giphy.gif

Not good for us logs guys but could be worse - you could sell de-icer!

I have the 900mm one and would highly recommend them. Cheap enough to have 2 or 3. http://www.spyrabase.co.uk/category.php?categoryID=1903 You don't need the driver. A scaffold bar will do it.

I've not had to scrape the windscreen yet this winter and don't see it happening. Warm and wet in the home counties. Based purely on my non - meteorological experience!
-
Can't you request a map from the fsc? You just provide grid reference and scale.

Both have there advantages. Front steering is better on slopes, articulated has great turning circle and manoeverability. One thing like about the articulated steer is if you find you self bogging down in the muddy rut you can 'wiggle' you way out of it. It's going to come down to what you intend doing to most of. If you are in the woods more than 50% of the time I'd go for articulated. Any less go for front steering.

Greenplant Guildford is an hour away. They have a few.
-
Looking good. What's your rates for North/ West London?
-
From humble beginnings great things come. Good luck to you.
-
They look good. I'd really like to try out a turntable trailer. I am sure they take some getting use to but can see the advantages. Reversing them must be hard skill to master.
-
I think a lot go through BCA. They seem to handle a lot if ex lease stuff so you will find a lot of 3-5 year old 24-60k pickups, drops ides and tippers. Don't get much over 3.5t gvw in my experience.
-
I'll join the choir. Really uncomfortable. I'd rather have wet feet. Plus you'll need a mate to help get them off.
-
Agreed about the winch. In fairness the uniforest one is well suited and I doubt there would be much gain in fitting a larger model as you haven't got the weight/traction to make it work. My 35m can easily drag my 835 backwards even with the linkage right down and digging in.
-
Fair enough but I think the point remains valid.
-
Agree, it if a pain on the arse. But if it all goes tits up you don't want to be the one with your name on the ticket! As with most problems, there is rarely a simple solution.
-
Vehicles logs to avoid this. Driver, date, time and miles out, time and miles in. The problem will be if the driver/employee at the time denies it is them. You could end up in hot water or at least a load of hassle.
-
Triggers broom springs to mind.... Obviously you can ask what you want for it but that's a lot of money. You can buy a brand new 130 chassis cab for £21k.
