Ah wow, never spotted mink round our way, or would also be trapping & then stitching! Mink fur is fantastic:001_tongue:

I made ours from old pallets, it sits within a big fenced off area for them & they can be locked in at night if needed, & still be able to run around a bit in the morning if we're up late! But, we never lock them in & even given our location, we've never lost any to the critters

Hi Ross, Good to see, may have some work in some of our woods sometime for you & your fine chevaux, if you're interested? K & N.

I know a guy, forester with 15 years experience, Really nice guy & tidy work. He was looking for work, lives in Belford, has own saws & a truck, I'll get his number & pass it on.

Drop me a line, we're local (ish) & always happy to meet & help new people. Plus, we need a tame a builder, so perhaps we can help each other? Very best wishes, Natalie.

Hello

"Stones in my passway" - The White Stripes. Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaah.

Yes Ralph, I've replied this morning, Many thanks.

Yes Squardey, there are rules. If the vehicle is registered as a "limited use" forestry vehicle, as such it requires not mot, is entitled to free road tax, providing it is insured. You can drive 1.5km on public highways between your sites & do that on red diesel. Registering a vehicle as limited use is straight forward enough. Fill in the paperwork, send it along with a copy of your business details, showing the woods you work & basically showing them that you're a legit trading outfit with genuine reason for changing taxation class of your vehicle, & you shouldn't have any bother. Take the mickey, or bend the rules, get caught & you'll be either in a very grey area, so make sure you're a bright spark with an ability to talk you way out of anything, or, expect a big fine & possibly loosing your vehicle. Hope that helps.

Can I just add, thanks for all the interest in my Disco, it will advertised soon. Anyone interested please PM me not post here as I seem to have hijacked Squardeys thread by mentioning it, sorry mate, hope you find what you're after

Our insurance is next to nothing, regular car insurance yes. Runs on cherry yeah, being the 300 it will damn near run on anything! But yes, it can legally run on cherry. PM me if you want more info, as I say, It'll be available in a couple of weeks. Very best wishes,
-
I know it's not quiet the same but. We're selling our Disco in the next few weeks, It's DVLA registered as a forestry vehicle, so no mot needed, free tax & runs on cheery. 3"lift, goes anywhere, the pics flatter it, it's battered & bruised, but it runs well. If that's of any interest to you, drop me a line.

I get very defensive about my little trailer Steve, (I knew you poking fun, sorry thought I'd put a smiley face to show I was poking fun back, I don't take myself that seriously) & will be forced to come & batter you should you poke fun at it again! Now you don't want to go getting knocked out buy a bird do ya! It works grand for the tighter woods, & birch thinnings etc. The crane I fitted is demountable, to keep the nose weight down when moving around. I don' think I could cope using it with the ram to lift stuff up, the time delay would kill me! My plan is to keep the arm up, at full extension & run a winch cable through the arm, so the winch will do the lifting (much quicker), but the crane will give the height & rotational swing.
-
Are you really that arrogant? I found a pic with it loaded up for you Stevie boy, but I can't seem to add it Hmmm.
-
:001_tt2:Well aren't we the demanding type! Mud too eh, like I don't filthy enough
-
I'll try & do some in the week & will add when I can
-
Sure, I'm just about to add a winch to the crane, but you'll get the idea.

Cheap Chinese Rubbish with Zippo welds, Honda Style engines & no CE mark. We looked at them, but decided against it very quickly. Try Logic trailers, UK built, excellent company to deal with & you can (as we did) easily attach a small rotational crane to help with those bigger stuff. Ideal on the back of a quad. Failing that, try CALEDONIAN FORESTRY LTD - Products or even better, contact Chris at Riko (he's on here to somewhere), see if they have anything, really nice guy & great company.
