jump-it

Hi guys and gals, I'm looking for some conifer to dress a cross country course with in the Bromyard area, don't mind traveling abit for it. Looking for a good trailer load. Needs to be longish and bushy stuff not just clippings. If I have to buy it in from miles away I pay £20 a cube collected so am willing to make it worth your while. You can contact me on here or call 07980739791. Many thanks. Mark.

On its own I'm getting in the 20's and towing 3.5t+ I'm down in the teens. I'm using less fuel now than I was with my 3.1 Isuzu because I'm not pulling the arse off it. It can tow 3.5 tonne on a normal hitch

My f250 super duty is rated to tow 11tonne on a gooseneck and has cruise control

A couple if fellow course builders used to run eager beavers, they had Bedford running gear and engine and a space frame chassis, 4 wheel steer. The mast would fold away down the side of the machine. Fairly nippy in top gear on the road if you are brave enough but you HAD to close a couple of valves to switch them to front wheel steer or else you'd end up getting a wobble on and be in the ditch. Lol. Mine is dumper based with 3 pot lister mounted on the side. She'll pick up about 1 1/2 ton and lift it to 20ft! The tipping back plate is great for running a bucket etc.

Yeah build xc courses for eventing mainly through the season and a few private clients then in winter do abit of work labouring for tree surgeon and farm work when the course building is quiet.

Nope, factory built, think its a benford versi lift, thwaites made one similar. Great being pivot steer as it doesn't rip up the ground. I fitted the floatation tyres as it came with normal dumper type on. Has a tipping back plate for the bucket. Bit of an old thing but does the job.

My old forklift I use for course building, is great and lite on the ground.

You could do with a proper load carrying pickup like mine!

Hi guys, Am busy building a course at Bishop Burton college near Beverly East Yorkshire atm and I'm desperately looking for some pine or similar poles asap, 8" to 12" diameter and around 16ft long. Any ideas? Regards. Mark.

Hi, thanks for your reply. That is a bit far but if no other then will have to travel, normal supplier not got any ATM. When are you cutting it?

Hi guys, just wondering if any of you are cutting down any lalandi (sp) this week? Need some to dress the cross country course with here at bishop burton . would need it by thursday, can pick up from site, whole branches not clippings. Also I'm after some silver birch trees, 8 to 12" diameter 16ft lenghts, relatively straight and bark intact, has got to look smart for jumps for the junior Europeans championship here in august, need it for building June time. Any help on these would be great . contact me on here or mob 07980739791 Cheers mark.

My mates got a very tidy ranger for sale, will find out how much if you like

There's a firm by me that sell on ebay or off! They have lots of used yanmar and kubota engines. Google weldhall, they are near melton mowbray

Be careful if you have a plastic tank, their favourite trick if they can't get into it is to get a red hot bit of pipe and push it through the bund into the tank! They take what they can then let the rest onto the ground which then cause all sorts of headaches to clear up and put right.
