    New 3.5t tipper

    jamesd replied to jamesd's topic in Arb-Trucks

    Id have a nissan cabster for the right price over the new grafters purely due to the annoying lack of glove pockets etc in the isuzu. Shame they stopped making them!

    I am in the market for a new truck (well new to me!). At the moment i've looked into the Isuzu grafters, nissan cabsters and Ford Transits. I've kind of rulled out the Isuzu grafter due to lack of space to put things in the cab i.e no glove boxes etc. I do however like the cabster which is a pretty similar vehicle but has the extra cubby holes in the cab for bits and Ford transits which I have always had seem pretty similar to what i've had before. Im looking at 15/16 reg vehicles so 5/6 years oldish. Is there anything I should know about the nissans or transits? I know the early 2.0litre transit engines had a few problems so will try get the old 2.2 version if i go that way. Any thoughts would be great! Cheers, James.

    Looks like a tidy little machine, shame it wasn't closer!
  5. jamesd
    Interesting what machine is it?
  6. jamesd
    Good to know, if i ever find a reasonably priced second hand one i might see if i can afford that then

    Ah okay thanks for the advice. Been looking at sedgewick 260's they seem like decent machines but a bit out my budget..
  8. jamesd
    Dont worry! these are no where near me. Looks like two decent machines similar to what im after though

    Any links to the ones on the bay?
  10. jamesd
    Okay thanks, yes please that would be helpful to see what else is about. Gumtree has got nothing on there near me at the moment.

    The wider the capacity the better imo...
  12. jamesd
    mostly hardwoods to be fair, ash, Oak Beech sycamore etc..
  13. jamesd
    Thanks, any makes/models i should be looking out for?
  14. jamesd
    Ideally 12" Capacity maybe £500/600 mark so not a massive budget unfortunately

    Just wondering whether the original poster brought a planer in the end? I'm on the look out for something similar and was just looking for a few opinions!

    New harness

    jamesd posted a topic in Climbers talk

    I am after a new harness and just wondered what people are going for? I am slim guy so need something a bit smaller and not too bulky. My favourite harness use to be a treeflex but they are no longer made. Is there something similar on the market now? The treehog harness looks pretty similar to be fair, but not heard much about them. Cheers, James.

    Could anyone recommend a decent ideally digital torque wrench? I am restoring an old land rover in my spare time so am looking for a decent one that will last. Cheers, James.

    I am looking to buy some earmuffs with radio in them for those long and boring hedgecutting jobs.... Has anyone got any recommendations on which ones to get? It would be good if they plugged into my phone etc as well as just a radio. Cheers, James.
  19. jamesd
    Ah fair enough, do you mind me asking where you get them from?
  20. jamesd
    Just wanted to know what people use for stickers? I have a load of 18mm ply I was thinking of using... I don’t have a lot else about unless i cut down some old scaffold boards..

    Could anyone recommend someone who does mobile milling in the Hampshire area? I'm after someone who could come in and do a days milling for me, i have a few oak logs that i have been saving up...
  22. jamesd
    Yup its a round the 40" diameter mark if not more.. the blue chaining is from a barbed wire fence that grew in it and hopefully i've cut it out now.. the rot at the one end probably goes down into the stem around a foot. Hope the extra information helps..
  23. jamesd
    I have an oak butt that I’m thinking of getting someone in to mill. I’ve attached a few photos for people to take a look at. Im looking for advice to see if it’s worth milling and secondly what the best way to mill it would be? Cheers, james.
