  1. My mate has an old 12x6 ifor tipper he says its 1300 kg unladen! Some weight to pull before loading it up!
  2. Didnt ask your opinion though Dave so no worries
  3. I should have gone for the 3000 before they stopped doing it! The new ones gone up 70 quid from 350 to 420 now i think!
  4. Yup, its a pain in the arse watching the groundies remember where to run the rope each time they try to attatch to a moving bollard. Makes me wonder how people learnt to tie their boots in a morning!
  5. Looking for a new lowering bollard, currently use a stein rc2000 its good but looking for a fixed bollard Been looking at the stein rc2001 and just spotted the tree hog? That skyland sell The tree hog only 1500kg and stein is 2000kg Fr jones, why no avaliability till mid oct? Cheers
  6. All sorted now Bob and back in action
  7. Going grey now lol nearly 7 years old. Cracking dog and friend
  8. Patterdale terrier here too mines a softie
  9. Idler roller bearings on tracked chipper!
  10. Shouldnt have read this thread ita bound to happen to me now lol good luck
  11. Nothing wrong with venting. It seems now a days most companies dont care after money has changed hands and back up is poor. Ive come accross some really poor conpanies in this industry. Its no good being dissapointed with a new product youve spent money on wether its 50.00 or 5000.00! Hope you get it resolved
  12. I bet it needs sharpening
  13. Good price but too far for me, i need another 20 or so
  14. I run a gd105 think its a great trailer and like you, i like the larger wheels and still quite a low load height
  15. When it comes to running your business and your machines... Do you prefer to run older machines Do you prefer to run new kit as in from brand new Is age just a number? When do things like chippers and grinders become redundant to you? Just curious on how you all think
  16. I put this down to lack of maintenance. You cant run a vehicle and not do anything then moan when mot comes round and it fails. I mean come on brakes are serviceable items you must gave known they felt rubbish
  17. They start to die the day they come out of the box, usually 12 mths theyre not looking good and uts nice to try and get them to 18months lol
  18. My mf30e here Recently put some trailer front wheels on so doesnt sink in the chip pile and just on with putting some weight on the back
  19. And whats worse than conifer.... Holly, now that can knacker you up on capacity!
  20. I wouldnt worry just carry on. I had some joker ring up last week ringing abouy prices etc, it felt like and you could tell it was someone in the log game, hillarious the lengths some will go to
  21. What are you towing with?
  22. Yup i remember doing this
  23. Yup, noticed it when fitting new blades and anvils thinking wow not much blade to anvil clearance better check flywheel ok! Ut oh lol
  24. Would depend if theye used to the equiptment and any good
  25. All i can say is the bearing to shaft screw are tight, the bearing cases dont move, i can lever the flywheel forwards then backwards, seems like the bearing hopper side is to blame, you can hear it knock when moving forwards and back
