They look good 👍 I once had magnetic trailer lights on a lead, put them on a bouncy tractor trailer and yes you guessed it, came off and smashed dragged down the road to or from site 😂

I looked at a job at the weekend, customer made a big fuss about the works over nothing really. 2 sections of conifer hedge to reduce nothing special. They then said I was the fourth to come to quote for the works... I thought ffs 😂 not sure if I can be bothered putting pen to paper

Ohhh I've certainly buttered some fields back together a month or two ago 😂 left very messy at the time but recovered fine

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!

I'm too poor to be able to watch it live.... I'll check YouTube tomorrow I don't follow it but am interested

Good is snowball 👍

Jumped in my tractor the other day and yet again the bastards have nicked diesel. Fuel light on.... took 40-45 ltr to turn light off so estimate maybe 80-100 ltr gone that time.... and maybe 8 weeks ago poss 50ltr gone that time. Wondering weather to get a metal cage made got around my tank, solid metal with a access lockable hinge lid to get to fuel cap. If you put a lockable cap on the tossers will trill the tank. I'm considering some of the night life / nature cameras? Find out for sure who it is... pretty sure we know who though as has been coming and going for years Owt else I can try? Farmers using me as a scape goat and won't let me park tractor down near his where cctv is.... they drain his digger and my tractor but doesn't touch his tractors due to being in front of cctv I've never contacted the police on any occasion but was miffed the other day when so much went. The odd 25ltr drum now and again not to bad but takes the mick now

0 % finance at the moment arnt they?

Weathers been shite since Xmas. Such a crap start to the year in fairness. Wetter than an otters pocket

Endless reasons for a dc 4x4..... Where I live in winter and where yards is I wouldn't be able to access it. What about site jobs where we go with the dc 4x4 and 3 lads towing tracked chipper? Surely it's just new vehicles registered from a certain date?

Is this just for brand spanking new ones?
