  1. I have a 4 phase suffolk punch on mine Darren, works a treat but costs a lot in feed!!!
  2. Very smart and useful truck with being the super cab and having the opening rear door. Ford Ranger 4wd Super Cab Tipper 58 Reg Wit Air/Con | eBay
  3. Cheap 1 ton tracked dumper, New tracks just fitted, Serviced ready to work | eBay Would something like this not work out, would have thought tracked vehicle would be safer than quad bike/wheeled vehicle on the terrain described.
  4. I spoke to Scottish Woodlands yesterday and there is nothing they are dealing with. May be some come the spring, at the very very earliest!!!
  5. My 07 Ranger is still running on its original Michelins and has just passed 65,000 miles!!!
  6. Nice motor Steve:thumbup:
  7. I've got one from Clas Ohlson which looks the same as the Stihl one and cost £20. When compared to my mates which cost £250 and you dial in the species of timber,etc, there is only a few percent difference. And as Steve says, watch the batteries - change them as soon as warning sign appears as it reads way high when batteries are low.
  8. R.I.P. Lewis ............... always a Professional!
  9. What, even from yourself Mark:001_smile:
  10. Sure I saw one on BF Goodrich All terrains recently.
  11. JLTree - can you respond to PMs please!!!
  12. PM sent, probably not quick enough if Taylors already done it:sneaky2:
  13. I tend to cut a couple of dumpy bags of 7 inch logs every now and again as I now have a few customers who ask for shorter one. Don't charge any extra.
  14. Don't know the weight of a Tajfun but my friends Ford 4610 handles my Palax 35 no bother.
  15. PM sent
  16. Friends of my mother were across in Newcastle visiting and mentioned they have just installed a log burner. Of course my mum then told them I supply logs to which they asked would I deliver to Whitehaven!!! From Newcastle Upon Tyne!!! So, any firewood dealers in Whitehaven who want to pm me there details I wil pass them on.
  17. Nene Overland are now importing the Toyota 79 Series 4.2 litre pick up in to the UK Left Hand Drive 4x4 New and Used Vehicles supplied by Nene Overland
  18. Bought my 07 Super Cab in June 2011 with 27000 miles on the clock. Now has nearly 64000 and apart from servicing and reversing in to a lamp post, it has only needed a UJ on the propshaft and it is starting to go through bulbs!! Averages 30 odd to the gallon, cruises on the motorway great, opening super cab doors gives great access to good storage space behind the seats, carries a good load. As others have said, seats are fairly comfortable but I do have back ache after driving for an hour; would have my old Freelander seats in there in a flash if I could; and reversing in two wheel drive is frightenly fast!
  19. Thanks for letting me out on to the A69 this morning. I spotted the orange machine from the top of the slip road at Lemington Road Ends. Truck looks great in the flesh!!
  20. As per Gensetsteve, keep your batteries fresh. My meter had the battery warning light on for a few weeks. I measured some 15 inch logs I split and stacked in May and it read 42% which I knew was rubbish as a month ago they were averaging 16 to 20%. Next day I put some new batteries in and it's back to reading 16%.
  21. Nice Unimog video [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRtDPrZZj20]Mercedes-Benz UniMog: Crushin' It! - Ignition Episode 59 - YouTube[/ame]
  22. Winch on ebay looks useful 2006 PIPE/ CABLE HYDRAULIC WINCH, TOWING, LOG SURGEON | eBay
  23. I bought my 07 Ranger with 27,000 miles on the clock just over two years ago and have now done 63,000. In that time apart from normal servicing it has only required one UJ on the propshaft. Performance wise it is very easy to drive, a good motorway cruiser, competent off road and hauls a load of logs day in day out without complaint. You could sat I'm a fan!!! And there are more available and cheaper than over priced Hiluxes.
  24. https://www.engineeringagencies.co.uk/product.php/1422/0/helly_hansen_70260_narvik_jacket I've been looking for Carhartt recently and came across this company - prices are cheaper than most.
  25. There are two on ebay at the moment - just search hilux king cab. One of the things that put me off the Toyota was the fact the smaller door does not open which I would find really restrictive. I went for a Ranger Super cab and it is extremely convenient being able to open the smaller door to give unimpeded access to the area behind the seats.
