  1. sorry to hear what has happened, its such a shame there are people like that in society I have a lock for when the chippers on the truck but also a bulldog hitch for when its off. this sort of boxes off the area hoping to get one of them alarm wire locks that sets off a 120db alarm. Again sorry for your loss
  2. Evening all, I'm on the look out for a log splitter. Don't do a vast amount of logs as only been self employed for a year, but i hope to improve on this. All my logs are arb waste/ brought from the job. What i have for starters is, a jcb beaver hydraulic pack, and a small trailer. I want to make a towable log splitter, to take to jobs etc. I have seen a few others use hydraulic pac's to good effect I have been shown the log splitter they were using and had it in my watching list on flea bay but it has dissapeared It was a good splitter and 445 inc delivery There are also oxdale tm400's for sale at 654 inc delivery Can these be used horizontally if a chanel is made for the logs to sit into or do they always have to be used vertical? Are there any other suggestions? Thought going for the oxdale may be the better purchase as may last longer? Cheers all on any info provided Thanks Chris
  3. what size diameter is that pipe?? Cheers Good looking truck and good idea
  4. Sorry no, its an invaluble tool, You can give it a try if you want to see if it has enough power? what size are the wheel nuts on a mog?

  15. i've got the local one in my phone ready to ring, i'll give them a bell in the next couple of days, i have a couple of small chip sites but they can't handle many loads so its good to have a handfull then you don't have to move the chip far do you and its hassle free giving it away if people will take it
  16. ahhh, yeah on the back road, will give them a call! Good thinking, keep meaning to ring up local golf courses but i'm sure they don't have wood chip paths etc....
  17. i wouldn't be bothered about that, it may just knock your speedo out a little.... could check with a sat nav

  21. Does the job have to be a decent size'd one or over a certain amount of money for you to start including terms and conditions? 150-200 + etc cheers and do you always try to get in writing? i have some t&c's given to me to look at
  22. Hope you priced it well
  23. The back isn't strictly just ally, it has the steel uprights for the dropsides to fix to and steel plates down the sides, but the drop sides are ally and the floor is checker plate
  24. Hi there, I recently changed my truck, not mechanical reasons etc just wanted better steering lock, bit more updated looks, bit better brakes and central locking etc. Now my old truck, i changed the back on it to an alloy back, behind the cab there is space for a 19" stronghold box for tools, then there is the tipper back. Its a good truck, old 2.5 transit engine but turbo'd and its a good strong tipper. Just considering my options, 1, whether to remove the back and keep it for my new truck. 2, sell with the back on as more saleable. I weighed the truck the other week and it weighed 2150 kg, thats with me at 70 kg and then my extended sides on and a head board! so it weighs in the region of 1950kg - 2000kg 3, just keep it as its bought and paid for I must admit, i do get attatched to things and struggle to let go sometimes will put up some pics if necessary, just after some opinions
  25. How many of you are there lol
