Hi Matt, What sort of mpg do you get with the All Terrains on the Ranger. I've got an 07 Ranger on its original Michelins (at 52400 miles!) and am looking to when I have to replace them.

<p>What you doin' wasting time on here Taylor - you should be trying to find me some dry hardwood I can log up! I sure as hell aint got much left!!!</p>

Palax are good machines, speak to Jim at Caledonian Foresty Services. Or you could save a load of money and hire in a guy who advertises on ebay that he can process 4 - 5 ton per hour through a Japa 305BE. I would quite happily pay him double to come to Newcastle if he thinks he can process an artic load of timber in a day through such a machine!

Gary might have the manual, Ian checked and he couldn't see it at his.

I have an 07 Super cab and whilst I love it and it suits my needs down to the ground, I think you would struggle putting child seats in. Especially as the seats in the back are not so much seats as squabs, if you know what I mean.
-
Well done Mark. Is it running or does it need repairs?
-
This is my set up in its present guise. we keep moving the deck and processor around to see what works best but have come to the conclusion the shed is too long and narrow to be ideal! Yes, its great having friends with kit you can use - shed, tractors, robot, etc. Nice Kenworth in the pics ecotreecare!

Just looks like some one has put a G Wagen body on a Unimog chassis.

Hi John, article was in Land Rover Monthly, May 2012. I have pm'ed you owners details
-
There was a yellow one on ebay a couple of times last year, it was in Sunderland and price was about £12k. I'm sure the same motor was also in one of the Land Rover magazines so I will see if I can find the article because it had the guys details in.

Ian had one and presumably gave it to Gary Mark. Just ring Ian - hes got all the answers!

But you dont have to go for the bling bling version Ford Ranger Models - XL, XLT, Thunder and Wildtrak models - Ford UK

Had a fantastic day on Saturday on Darren of DM Taylor Firewood Supplies shoot, ended with ducks on the pond which was probably the most exciting shooting I've ever done. Some pics from the day.

Since Ford have taken over production of the Ranger with the new model, towing capacity has increased to 3350KG for the UK market. Only problem is there is such a demand for them apparently, there is a long waiting list.
-
But surely the fact that so many contractors and farmers use non Land Rover pick ups shows that Land Rovers traditional market is no longer there, they have not moved sufficiently with the times. They should have made a Discovery pick up when they first introduced it, the commercial van variant was always very popular. I have been and still am a Land Rover enthusiast and think they should have offered the military models to the civilian market with a big options list so those that want no space for their right arm, cramped cab, crap heater, more leaks than a Welsh fete and invariable build quality and reliability could have it.

According to "4x4" magazine, January edition pick up test, these are the max towing weights for the popular pick ups: Mitsubishi L200 Trojan - 2700KG Toyota Hilux Invincible - 2800KG Nissan Navara Tekna - 2600KG Isuzu D Max - 3000KG VW Amarok - 3200KG Ford Ranger Wildtrak - 3350KG

Give Ian a ring Mark, I told him you thought the drive was kaput.
-
Just as a side point, how you find out if Euro 4 and claim £135 tax? My 07 Ranger is £215 tax.
-
For what they are and do, they are still expensive machines. The Bilke guillotine will apparenlty take larger diameter material and is cheaper than the TR.
-
Club cab L200 not very common and I cannot see the point of it as the club bit is small and doesnot open. I have a Ranger Super cab and find it a good size behind the seats for storage and the rear door opens suicide style giving full, unobstructed access to the rear - much easier on a day to day basis.

My friend has a LWB high top Transit and ask a couple of years ago if he could put off road tyres on and the tyre fitter laughed him out of the garage stating they did not have any where near the load rating required. I'm sure insurance companies would not be keen either!

too excited to think of a good name for a thread, thread
rovers90 replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
Sorry to hear you haven't got the work for the dumper Steve. We were just talking about it yesterday. My mate struggled in his 170hp Ford TW20 towing the 10 ton forwarding trailer loaded with logs to get up the yard. (The snow was two feet deep) I asked how he did it last time it snowed and he said.."Had me lovely little dumper on the front towing it!! Would go anywhere that dumper." Happy days,if only we could afford to buy it back!! -
There is a MOD trailer that is bigger than the Sankey, with a wider track so you may not have to cut your machine. Could be this style GKN/Arrows 1.75 ton military trailer | eBay

Looks a good truck. How are you going to register it and make it road legal? My friend and I looked in to this last year when talking to one of the main dealers who had a yard full of them. They were talking about a couple of grand to make road legal and it would be down to us to do. The load capacity also put us off as by the time you have mounted a crane you would be down to a few ton. Keep us posted with pics though as I do like these trucks and we keep thinking there must be a reason why we need one (other than the fact we like them!!).

Best Not Sit Too Close To The Fire!!
