My 1.8t still does more hours than my 1.2t and 2.8t combined! Just such a handy size and very cheap to run. Comparative ease of towing is also a big factor.
-
Nice. I might get a demo when it's time to replace my 1.8t. The boom in particular just looked a lot smaller than my Hyundai, rams especially. It was a canopy model but the rest of it also seemed a touch smaller.

Oh, you simply must tell us who you used!

Safety Gear - Order Of Importance
doobin replied to Witterings's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Get online to Screwfix and buy the Oregon trousers and boots, plus some nice safety glasses and ear defenders. Ideal for what you need. -
I looked round one of those at my local dealer. Looked tiny. How does it drive?
-
How much do you charge per m3 wholesale?
-
Yeah, but the other bits are what make it work seamlessly and would take a while to make yourself. Plus it's galvanised. Now you've got me looking at mills!! Is there any money in it?
-
Hang on a minute. I might be tipsy, but... You say you're concerned about the uniformity of the end product, yet you log up with a chainsaw and the log hanging off the end of a digger!! At least a processor sets the length of cut for you! Have I missed something? Or is it all about the split? ? Also, now you have a grab- set it up to work off the tractor forklift and save yourself digger hire costs.
-
You're pragmatic and honest about the realities of your situation, I like that. Though selling wholesale, I wouldn't be quite so anal about the quality of your product.

Who do you use Bob?

https://woodlandmills.co.uk/product/hm126-track-extension/ Had a look. To be fair, £270 seems pretty reasonable for that.

Ash - Chances of catching Deadline

Best to knock them over before they get really brittle, otherwise it's not much fun standing underneath them as you fell them. -
Ash - Chances of catching Deadline
doobin replied to Witterings's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I'm near you and I'm advising clients to leave ash to take their chances also. No point reducing to have to fell a few months later. It's really bad around here. -
German made? If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell you! ?

Copper nails? Or was it eco plugs?

The thing with the mini skid loaders is that they look handy- but they're always without fail on their tiptoes, looking hard to control when you see YouTube videos. Has anyone a link to a video of them in use where the operator looks in control, doing repeated cycles?

I don't think there are even different grades of adblue. Sounds like bullshit to me. ADBLUE: HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR FLEET | fuelGenie WWW.FUELGENIE.CO.UK Fleet managers are feeling the effects of AdBlue top-ups: and with most fleets running diesel vehicles also requiring... "AdBlue is a proprietary name, like Hoover and iPhone: i.e. there are not different types or brands of AdBlue, though there may at any time be different brands selling other urea-based solutions that perform the same function."

You can move a heck of a lot more with a 1.5t and grab than you can by hand! Great for stacking timber and loading brash onto fires.
-
Then you won't go wrong with a mini digger and grab rather than a chipper.
-
If you don't then you've screwed up.
-
What size pieces of yew are required for bow making? And what are they worth?
-
Yes to small tools, but think hard as to whether in your target market (big gardens and woodlands) your first large purchase should be a chipper, or instead a digger or tractor. See what types of jobs you end up with then take the plunge accordingly. I’ve been doing tree type works ten years and only bought a chipper last year. Plenty of diggers though!
-
Really like the look of it- a very nice design. I was drooling over a Sherpa mini skid steer the other day too. Sadly I still can't think where I'd actually use one rather than one of my diggers!

You’re not listening. I said northern arbs selector page needs work. Are you running 3/8p or .325? Full or semi chisel?
-
No offfense mate but if you don’t know how to match a chain to a sprocket (not drive wheel) then you have a bit more to learn before you’ll be able to make top rate. Ms241 can run 3/8p or .325, if you use northern arbs domestic aimed chain selector it can go wrong. They need to cater more for pros but that’s by the by. that said it does sound like a poor price rate. Is it sussex or Kent?
