are ldv's really that bad? ive been looking for my first chip truck and ive mostly been looking at fords but after hearing lots of bad things about them and the second hand prices are really expensive for what they are! ldv seems a basic cheap alternative. also is 90bhp going to be ok pulling chipper tools etc or will it tow its rocks off? anyone with any good/bad experiences with them?
-
would you reccomend 1 ova a transit tipper?
-
mercedes sprinter old shape anygood?
-
ive just been looking at rangers after hearing lots of bad reports on L200's. what model is the 1 youve got? all the single cab ones ive seen seem to only be 2700 gvw
-
yeah ive seen that m8 in my opinion its too expensive 4 the miles its got
-
I did have my heart set on a transit but after weighing up the pros and cons think the pickup would better suit our needs as theres only 2 of us very rarely 3 of us on bigger jobs. are them rangers any good? ford arent they? you think it would be fairly easy to convert a standard L200 into a tipper?
-
yeah i was thinking of a 2 seater to allow for bigger chip box with a small tool box in front of box for saws etc...its either an L200 or a transit! ive heared bad things about transits though and i think with a decent size chip box on the L200 i dont think it would be that much smaller than a transit???
-
was thinking of a tipper conversion on an L200 as a chip truck...would the chip box be too small? only for domestic work mainly good idea bad idea? any comments?
-
i did mine a few years ago for an operatives card so i could use a hiab on site i cant remember how many questions there were all i know is id neva set foot on a site and did no revision at all and i only got 1 question wrong! really really easy just common sense

anyone know where i can get parts from for a kwikchip222 ??? doesnt have to be originals patern parts would do
-

-
anyone know where i can get parts for a kuickchip 222??? someone said fletcher stewarts but ive looked on their website and i cant find anything!
-
i like the rotties and sleeping bag option but somehow i dont think the missuis would be too happy lol...ive just spent £200 on 3 locks un a cropper resistant chain...has any1 heared of those trip wire things? its a blank shotgun cartridge in a holder round back of door and like fishing wire across the door so when u walk into the wire the cartridge goes off??? what they called?
-
ive thought about taking wheels off but 1st time they go in an see no wheels second time they mite come back with wheels "doesnt take much 2 get crappy wheels on it" ive seen those battery powered alarms thought about that too just think they wouldnt be right loud???i can back the van up to the front of garage door. its the back thats the problem though because its that sectional concrete crap its only got 3 bolts in each section thats why i was going to put bollards behind it too...how much are those trackers??
-
ive recently bought a new chipper the only place i can keep it is in a prefab garage opposite my house! its pretty dark and quiet there and plenty of people will see the machine goin in and out so this weekend im gettin some welding going i thought about 2 steel posts concreted in behind it that cant be removed a security bollard infront to box it in with a lock box ova padlock "made from 5 mill thick box section not 1 from wickes made of wotsits" a ground anchor underneath chained through A frame and a lock box over towing eye so it cant be hitched up and towed away oh and a wheel clamp!!! when i think about it it seems exessive but i really cant afford it to get stolen! any1 got any other ideas? oh an theres no way of gettting power to garage so an alarm in out of the question! any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

just looked on ebay turns out the seller was dodgy got an email from them sayin their account had been cancelled! scumbags
-
ive asked about viewing but the seller seems to have gone quiet! gunna see what happens deffo a cash on collection jobby me thinks
-
ive asked if i can go view and if theres prof of ownership its only a few mile away...no reply tho al give it while tomorrow and see what comes of it thanx for your advice
-
yeah thats the 1 what you think?
-
i just sent a msg asking why it needed all them bits if its done no work at all seller says and i quote "I thought it was fair to sell it with the new belts & rollers.. Is this a bad thing ?" sounds too good to be true! just asked if i could view it and if they have prof of ownership...am sure ive heared somewhere that entec/timberwolf can find out who owns the machine from the serial number do you know if its true?
-
sorry i have no idea how to make a link! if you search for entec it should come up
-
just seen on ebay a 2000 entec 35dh looks brand new says its only got 70 hours on clock:confused1: surely this is wrong?! asked the seller if the clock is wrong and when was last service and if its had new pullys rollers belts etc seller replys " the clock is correct its had little use and its recently had new pullys belts and rollers"! im no expert but surely a machine thats only done 70 hours would not want new pullys and rollers? i can understand new belts as rubber would perish even with no use? sounds fishy to me.

Where can i get parts for a kwikchip chipper? anyone?
-
is it petrol or diesel the 222? are they not been built anymore because i cant seem to find anything about them on google...did you have any trouble with the turbo? ive heared roumers of them just blowing up!
