ed does the big blue arrow not block your right headlight?

Good post tom

 

Timberwolf along with a lot of other manufacturers have a lot to contend with.

 

Firstly they have to try to build a machine to satisfy a budget, which is difficult, then they have to build a machine that is robust and reliable and keep it sub 750kg which is extremely difficult.

 

If the rules change and the tow limit was raised to 1000kg it would take a huge amount of pressure off manufacturers and give us a more substantial and reliable machines for our money

 

At the end of the day you get what you pay for, simples

 

Just to add, if the chippers were serviced as they should be then the bearing problems would be picked up on the service schedule.

Hi dean, the 190 is the one with the same engine as the 150 but built not to a 750weight spec, mines 1050kg, unless you're talking about the 150?

Thought I'd give the new 130's Mewp attachment a spin today

nice to see landies used as mewp bases aint it..

what rears springs does it have rob? standard or with helper coils inside the big ones? looks like the rear tyres are going to touch arches on full articulation.. (mine catch occasionally)looks awesome though:thumbup:

mines got less than 350hrs on so fingers crossed.. or is it worth changing them before they go? i think the manual says something like change every 2yrs if its getting constant heavy use..

and try not to get them dirty again.. could use a product of some description to pretreat them against stains, i couldn't possibly recommend anything but the idea's there for free..

we have done a few domestic fences over the last few years, nice change sometimes, i always get the customer to pay for materials up front and they are fine with it.. sometimes i think we go extras with building it strong but i try and build them to last like as if i'm doing it for myself. pricing? well theres a fine line between ripping someone off and working for free..

that looks like alot of shovelling !lol

could start a whole thread on this subject.. imagine how fat i'd be if i just pressed a button, i'd have to join a gym:thumbup:

after trying out loads of different machines im still glad i bought my tw190..

the baby blue one???

 

 

[]Bremach 3 wheel tipper truck diesel L/H drive on eBay (end time 04-Oct-10 21:12:18 BST)

thats the one

Hoe about rolling up one of the heras mesh sides (a knackered one will do) & sticking it vertically in the middle then stacking the logs around it? that way you'll have a central post to help with a cover and you'll also have a roughly 2 foot diameter cylinder shaped gap in the middle to help with ventilation and quicker drying time.

you mean like a chimney for when some scrote pops a firelighter at the bottom just before you want to sell it? would make a cracking bonfire eh?

Just searched for Bremach in Google Images. They make some great looking trucks:thumbup1:

Seem to be Italy's answer to a Unimog. Proper ugly & built for work.

theres one on ebay you might like..

Rough justice there from the huck:lol:

think old capn hook is getting soft.. i expected him to demand a beating:thumbup:

related topic i think.. took the old push iron out for a ride down the local canal towpath in the rain lastweek, speeding kingfisher cruised past the other way in a shiny blue flash, funny i havn't seen one in years but then i havn't been out on the bike for years too:thumbup1:, also had the good experience of waking up in the RV we rented in california and looking out of the window to watch hummingbirds hovering a foot or so from the window.. i never set aside time to just appreciate/look for things like this so its nice when they just appear

we'd have got that duck if your legs were a bit longer..

sweet, very sweet:thumbup1:.. my last truck had steps under it like that, they ended up ragged back underneath:blushing:

looks like a goat willow to me, got a pic of the trunk/bark? or overall shape? Ed.
