believe me im not going anywhere near it till everything is ok'd on paper, its not even in my town, the guy wants it clearfelling and cutting to 8ft lengths for a wood supplier so i don't even get the wood:thumbdown:, might go see it at the weekend and if it looks dodgy i'll phone the local tree officers, guy seems genuinely sound but you never know

don't think so robert, its completely seperate, thanks anyway

saw this on the way home tonight, the nugget in the suit was trying to direct him and kept waving him through even though he was already stuck, the nugget in the truck said his destination was david brown works 200mtrs past the bridge, seen loads of trucks stuck here but thought i'd take some pics and share with you guys:thumbup:

i thought so, if i remember right they take ages to come through don't they? someones not going to be happy haha:thumbup:.. any idea how long they take?

Hi i have a client who owns a non tpo'd small woodland, not in a conservation area or anything, he wants the lot clearfelled inc a couple of mature trees, approx 200 trees in total, does he need a felling licence for this? i got one before from the forestry commission but that was for a tpo'd wood, does it just apply to volume? thanks, Ed. (there is definitely more than 5cubic metres being removed)

sounds a bargain to me, but what colour is it?

no way..! that guy rocks.. could do with a pair of toecaps though:thumbup:

thanks guys, im pretty chuffed with it:001_smile:, just need to get myself some heras fencing to throw the split stuff into and im ready for winter orders,

get a big table on it for sitting on, i like sitting down:thumbup:

few more pics from today,

looks like a little old woman to me.. nice shiny toy, mmm:thumbup1: (the log splitter not the old woman:blushing:)

stick in some wash n wax and point it at your truck:thumbup:.. mine only fills with water when i wash it.

get a slate lapper and sharpen the nail cutting bit, would make an ace tool for this..

i love to see old motors still being used and abused, not a fan of the restore back to better than it came out of the factory look, at least it shouldn't blow a fuse now eh? does current still pass through the wiring? Ed.

you guys worry too much, its a machine engine running on red for next to nowt, if anything the extra weight of the flywheel will help the engine rotate smoother? and the bearings will be replaced when they go and im not worrying about them, hourcounter? its still a low hour machine so maybe running this on low revs will help bed the engine in rather than the usual warmup and full revs routine? i have no plans for selling it anytime soon so will keep modding till it looks like it belongs on pimp my chipper:thumbup:

:thumbup:big blowtorch, i'd use a old set of hedgetrimmers and either scaffold or mewp

Do you have to run the chipper flat out still?

no it gets through even tough stuff at tickover, not too slow either, it does go a bit faster at higher rpm but im scared of losing bodyparts by rushing:blushing: as for price, if the woman sees this she will go spare.. £750-supply/build, £180-hydraulic components inc fitting:thumbup1:

it will be getting attached to the chipper as soon as i get another tow hitch for the back of the chipper:thumbup:, tinnywolf haha, thinking of fitting some spotlights to it for the winter early blackout:thumbup:

no sorry, camera has had a few days awol in the truck and its dark now:blushing:, think Andy has some pics of it working so he might put them up?

oh it runs on the chipper hydraulics:thumbup: via quick release couplings:biggrin:

fed up with breaking axes, got fellow arbtalker Andy (treequip)to build it to my spec:thumbup: and its brilliant, gave it a testrun on Andy's logpile and split 2cube in 25mins, thanks Andy:thumbup1: can't wait to beast through my log pile:thumbup:

its free here, just fill in the right forms and send to the right office and they let the emergency services etc re-route as well as rescheduling to not have too many works in one area etc, as rupe says in emergency the police come in very handy:thumbup1:.. as do stoppy boards and landrovers, logs, groundies and brash:thumbup:, however imo temp traffic lights just encourage them to speed up:thumbdown:

also check security of the two bolts holding each end of the roller in place, they can get loose..

I like peppermint tea! Not with milk though. Is that a Yorkshire thing?

if it is then its deffo a south-yorkshire thing, there should be regulations against serving it to comers in..

:011:gave me a headache just watching, madhead..
