I Like that! Sometimes you've to be crafty to get through the day Few times lads working for me shrug shoulders.... machine not working yet not checked owt over. Loose battery terminal on the teleporter other week. Easy stuff and I was away in seconds. The lads would be there thumb up arses waiting for someone to come fix it

lot of folk cant listen to a machine or feel it when its not right. Dont get me wrong some stuff is down right abuse but in this line of works, everything gets battered every day! during the course of its work. Hard work on the machines so the person using needs to be up to scratch

Flat tyre day before loading logs then the grab got a bit beat up loading this last trailer 😂 Will be a mix of welder and plasma cutter on the grab so it's back in fettle for another beating soon 😎

I personally wouldn't buy a gd ifor new... not good value and poor trailers! I ran a gd105 years ago cage sides. Bought new. Was OK for a small machine but with weight on from logs etc it used to Bob and weave behind truck.... awful thing on crappy single leaf springs. I run 3.5t plant trailers for a long time now. I actually stumbled across a small lt85 last year and bought it aswell. Caged sides, only 2000kg trailer though. Light and easy to move about, easy to wiggle along side truck and chipper to throw logs in etc. Mint little trailer. If you don't need to move machines everyday I'd go for the dropside range

Can always double up the roll pin woth a smaller one tapped inside the bigger one

I would have thoughtnit should have a hardened roll pin. You'll snap that soft 8.8 bolt

I used to do that, up Scotland and all over. I once bought a van off ebay in Southampton, unseen. Figured it cheaper to fly down so me and my dad flew down 65 quid per person, met the guy at air port. Paid up and that Was that. Checked and topped up engine oil, bought some doughnuts from Morriston and filled it full of fuel and hit the motorway 😂 Got back fine. Tbh I can't be arsed now.... seen a couple of chippers I'm interested in but they're all down Surrey and London ffs.... I'm not going down there this week to sneak a purchase in before end of tax year. Sod that

It's not really in my work ethic to stand around and do **************** all.... couldn't lower myself to that level. I'd crack up

Exactly. Cut the bugger off with angle grinder to make easier to remove. Throw in scrap and buy a new one

Always good to service first and think the guy will. Problem with bigger chippers is the throw force.... can't half make some mess. With my current bandit, chip bounces off headboard when empty then bounces off chip and out when filling 😂

Always the same! You have to be able to drop everything and go look asap. I spotted a fresh chipper on ebay I was going to buy back end of this week just gone. Rang and was sold! Gutted too Anyhow you were doing better than me as I couldn't afford that jensen 😂

They look OK but not sure on size of Infeed feed roller inlet etc. Considering they're no longer made I'd rather have a bandit esp with the cylinder lift and crush. Always get parts for the bandits, can be a bit slow and expensive parts but last a long while

Bloody spoiler 😂 not been on YouTube yet

😂 I'm a Yorkshire man.... half it and a cock less you'd be right

C&c equipment also good if you like bulldozers etc and repairs. They show you the auctions they go to also 👍 God knows how someone knows what their bidding over in USA with the auctioneer talking so fast!
