    Looked a decent sized tree. Bet made more pleasurable with the bigger chipper aswell!
  3. swinny
    Big red one with chipper on the back?

    Happy for you! Thought it would have been an oversight! Happy days
  5. swinny
    Yup. Bet he spit his wine out when reading the post lol 😆

    So your capacity is double that of mine.... hmm My only issue is sometimes some of the sites are a pain to get in and out of! 16' long be enough for me I think. The Fleming is only 13' long... Have a smaller single axle also but will get shut of that towards a bigger trailer. Also prefer the grain monoque? Body do they call it? Solid vs the drop sides and extra sides on my current trailer. Grain trailer stronger

    I have a guy with a decent trailer like that! Doubt my tractor pull it though lol Way too big for little old me

    My only thoughts with the silage trailer was to contain chip more than anything else..... chip in long grass is a pain in the ass to clear up and stands out like a sore thumb
  9. swinny
    Just a bit small at times it is nowadays
  10. swinny
    Has sides on currently and that takes it to 9 -10 cube.... was OK when using 6" chippers would take a while to fill. It needs sides on sides now! Lol also fabricators are a pain and never reply to getting quotes etc. Was thinking of keeping Fleming and getting another trailer aswell
  11. swinny
    Most trailers nowadays are all 8' wide aswell! My Fleming is 7' wide so well within tractor and even that's tight on gateways at times

    Are the 8-10 stud super singles a big improvement over the normal flotation 6 stud 15.3 agg tyres?
  13. swinny
    In fairness I don't even know how super singles travel over land.... at times I'm asked to go on land nor at the best moments shall we say! I like how the fat tyres on my timber trailer flatten out the cleat marks from the tyres where I've been and leave a good finish....

    Yeah seen this.... Jpm multi purpose dump trailer 14t.... least can stick a digger on the back.... my current trailer is 9-10 cube.... the way I'm going is to chip more and want a high capacity trailer.... Defford hyd rear door! Sprung drawbar be nice Never seen the potato trailers..... used to have a masses 700 trailer which was a grain trailer 12t and 16' long.... why did I sell it lol 😆 Things have moved on now and so has my business... all for he better thankfully
  15. swinny
    Cheers for that... Just the thought of me in an artic though! i take it that is what C catagory is? Never really looked into whats what. Thanks

    Hi all, Just wondering what folk are running behind their tractors for a large capacity trailer for chip etc? something like 16' long and a 12T trailer ish? I see some are running a grain trailer, which seems shite flys everywhere! and some run larger silage type trailers? I would like to get a larger trailer for the larger chipping jobs. Ideally something with a hydraulic back door! Some of the silage trailers are auto back doors so only open when tipping? What are any of these trailer like to fill with an open back door? Running gear I would love some big flotation tyres but most likely end up with something on super singles.... Ideally would prefer not to have a big 8' wide trailer..... Ideally 7'-7'6" max as my tractors most likely smaller than yours lol Any advice?

    What sort of brass am i looking at for 7.5t license and trailer test? looks like you going / looking at the same route. Thanks
  18. swinny
    Be nice if the gits let me have my 7.5t licence for nowt! Was pissed years ago after doing my b+e to find if i wanted a 7.5t truck id have to do the bloody trailer test again ffs.... On the bonus, does this mean my lad that works for me doesnt need to do his trailer test now? Jammy git
  19. swinny
    And here's me at 32 having done it for 11 years thinking I don't want to be doing this when I'm 45-50..... 😆
  20. swinny
    Nah, If its been missed and should have been replaced under warranty then why let timberwolf off? If all should have had new chassis then all should have been sorted
  21. swinny
    It should have just been changed.... Mine was even though was no issues with mine at the time.... all they did was beef up that axle area to approx twice the thickness and some other bits and bobs..... If you had have had this done then this wouldnt have happened... Did you own the chipper from new? If so I'd be stamping your feet and demanding its sorted by timberwolf for free.... The dealer hasnt done you a good deed by not fitting the new chassis when it should have been done!
  22. swinny
    Yup they all still get the treatment..... need to start bringing it in to get near compressor rather than just blower.
  23. swinny
    We always run the blower over the rad after every job it's good practice! New chippers air cooled any how now lol
  24. swinny
    Your right there John, think it's a smart move on my part. Please can you show me and tell me the setup you have on the front of the bobcat for a grab please?
  25. swinny
    Decision done. Picking this up next weekend. Smaller 1.8t.machine suits my workload better. I've got a tractor loader and botex 560 after all so it only needs to get things so far, but I need a machine that can get anywhere. A 2.5t machine wasn't that. Just need to sort a grab and possibly rotator now and some other bits and bobs..... Never heart of a Martin manual hitch before but nothing off my old Volvo will change over as different pin spacings and maybe diameter of pins! one online source said hydraulic flow was 48lpm which I didnt think was shabby!
