  1. Any pics pal? I use plant trailer for chipper, grinder and digger when needed
  2. Its a long setup etc but makes it easier to reverse, you could take 18" out of the drawbar if you wanted etc
  3. Whys it a ball ache on a plant trailer? Thats how i use mine.
  4. I've been looking for a loader for my john deere 3040 for a long while, nothing has yet presented itself! I'm considering selling both my tractors and getting another with a loader allready fitted which is a shame but want to move forwards. Not looking to spend a lot! 5-6k what about a 590 fergy? have they got good hydraulics? I have a log splitter with a massive ram so want good pressure! I could easily pick up a 590 and a mf80 loader but would be 2wd.... thats why it would be a shame to get rid of the 3040 as its 4wd.... hmmmm most of my work is roadside etc rarely off road etc, need to shove chip pile up and load trailer etc and its bad in that area. Ideally want to be moving yards to somewhere with a nice concrete pad so 2wd wouldnt be a problem... Any suggestions on what tractors? Cheers
  5. Spot on! theres a local guy selling a builders bag mixed hard and soft for £36.00 collected. smallest bag granted... but with the price of the bag then labour to split etc... whats the point in that?
  6. Berberis does yellow chip ... Pass
  7. Id get a 211 most likely, more puff than the 181, 3/8 picco micro mini chains stonger than the 150 in all areas i would have thought
  8. I've gone stihl green now
  9. Just a spare from the 261 i just got rid of, if it fits i'll keep, if not i'll throw in the scrap lol
  10. Does a sprocket (rim) off a 261 fit an older 026 fitted with spur? The 026 is an adjustable oiler etc Cheers
  11. You know it sounds like you've had some really bad luck here bud! Good on you for keeping your chin up and keeping at it. I wish you all the best pal
  12. Why whats up?
  13. Anyhow...... I went for stihl ultra hp green. You lot love a good debate
  14. Sprinter 4 t 4x4?
  15. Another vote for this
  16. Put down what model it is and people will help Chris
  17. Thing is though you need to be on top of the job aswell with power of saw! I have no loader so most of time ring all wood up. For what i sold my 088 for i should have just kept it
  18. I take it stihl red mineral not liked anymore ... Not far off finishing mine now... Stihl green or husky low smoke for me soon i think, is the low smoke fully synth aswell?
  19. Yup thought that was the case! What year l200? Mines 2003 so 2.7t train weight so the smaller one is a better match for me
  20. Im going on about this quote
  21. Lets hope theres no long lasting issues from poor servicing! No or lack of oil is a serious issue... get on the phone and get them to pick it up and.rectify it!
  22. Is that a 3.5t or smaller and is it a 10x5? Cheers
  23. I was offered an old 12x6 ifor tipper 3.5t an was told it weighed 1350kg unladen
  24. Look at the kerb weights first. Someone was telling me the other day that the 3.5 t one was a lot heavier for not much more payload! So have. Look into it
  25. Did you get sorted
