    shud be fine. On Rangers can ya shift from L to H 'on the fly' i wonder? If you can that would sooo useful when moving off on an incline with a load on or lugging a weighty trailer. On my antique Isuzu ya hafta stop to shift from L to H so i simply negotiate the incline in 2L then stop to briefly shift back into 2H. It's ideal fer reversing the chipper / Laden Ifor into my driveway or dealing with the steep hills i have to contend with where i live. God i love my truck.

    Pinkers, there is a mod you can carry out to enable 2L on a Ranger as someone posted up details very recently on how to do it. I got the 2L option on my antique Isuzu by simply fitting manual free wheeling hubs up front.

    impressive lugging figgers indeed, i lug similar weight and sometimes more with my old Isuzu albeit illegally from time to time but it can take it. Yours a 3.0 TDCI? I've always loiked the look the look of the older Rangers.

    I love this 1/4 .43 setup. It is fiddly to sharpen but it only takes about 3 mins to do the whole 10 inch chain. It in my opinion is very safe to use and gives really clean cuts.

    Used a small Ferrari alpine tractor a few times recently. 40hp and amazingly good at towing my stuck transit and chipper out of the mud. It had a topper/mower attachment on the back but I'm not sure what udder attachments the owner had fer it. Used it cost £5.5k plus vat so quite cheap. I had a look at the engine and wasn't sure of the brand.

    Hello m8, They cold called me too but like you all i did was check out their website. I do mainly domestic tree works with some commercial thrown in. I'll not bother chasing them up though.

    Hello HTC, Can anyone tell me why you would down rate a Transit 460 to a 350 when there are plenty of 3.5 tonners available on the market already or am i missing the point here, is there some advantage to doing this?

    That ebay username 'nickmanchip' looks familiar. Thought it might be an Arbtalk username too but it don't show up on 'search'.

    SI engine?

    I run an old (1999) Crary Bearcat 8 inch chipper. It has a Kohler Command 25hp petrol enjun. While it is more expensive to fill up and only having a modest 25 ponies to play with it is also amazingly capable and does better than i ever expected. A busy day with alot of conifer chipping can cost me about £12-£18 in petrol. A 35 hp petrol engined chipper would be very good me tinks, however i stihl fancy having summit i can run on DERV and buying a Schliesing or a Jensen 540 at some point. For now i'm happy enuf.
