Carefull pal. they mite hold you to ransom

The more you do it the easier it is...Lean back on your line, trust your gear, if your unsure about your anchor point go bigger. I like to have a good nosey while im going up and make sure everything is sound, then you know your safe...its all 1 big mind game. I used to cack my pants but after you realise your gear is more than good enough and the tree your in is solid you start to have fun.

125 kg is heavy. i can get our oxdale tm 400 on our tranny tipper, its big base version weighs about 90 kg but i have to shove it on. any heavier and i would be towing.

I have just been to look at a new 1 today, you can only get a tonne on the back but...leave the tracked chipper on site fill the van and trailer and double up on your loads, well triple if you can get 2 tonne in a tipper trailer
-
Just looking at them now...Have i seen a picture of yours on here before?

Looking for a trailer to tow a tracked machine, but it has to be a tipper low enough to use the chipper whist still on the trailer. Is this a custom build job?
-
Yes but only once and it was over 10 years ago, tbh i cannot remember how we went about it.

I have being asked if i can install Cobra bracing to a large Cedar, It has been ages since i had anything to do with bracing! is this something you can read up on and learn yourself or should i stay away it is to replace the old failed bracing that is already up there.

Wow what an opportunity to fill your log store up for next winter, don't forget to take your 70 grands worth of tackle through to saw up chip and move that timber!!! i would offer them £20 as a thank you...least you can do

Watch your money, don't buy tackle you do not need "like i did" try not to go down the finance route its always better to buy. Get a good lad working with you, always go that bit extra with jobs, a touch of ocd helps. Once word of mouth kicks in you wont need to advertise...its took me 3 years to build up to a steady flow of work, you will drop bollocks along the way but don't get down learn from them and move on. We do a lot of fencing as well as trees, ripping hedges out and fencing go hand in hand, it also helps to fill gaps in the diary...

Offer your advice, allow the client to make an informed decision. We all have bills to pay and like you say if you dont do it someone else will.

Did you swear

Whats these Forst chippers like? they have been out a while now and i have heard nothing but praise, mainly the tr6 & tr8. they look similar to the Timberwolf 190 tftr, i know Timberwolf is around 30k whats the forst cost new?

Probably does not help but Pasloade...We have 2 cannot fault them, old 1 jams a bit but the new 1 is spot on
