Agree re avant, but we are talking about pedestrian mini skid steers. Where the operator is the counterweight. Remove the operator and they are front heavy.

I bet everyone on here tracks a tracked chipper up a ramp standing behind it without thinking about it? The thing is, mini loaders are a lot more twitchy than a tracked chipper. The 13hp models can also run out of steam loading in reverse up a ramp with a heavy operator on them. That's then super dangerous because if you stall it you have no engine braking and it will run away back down the ramp. Ideally you would use long ramps on a low trailer. For the more adventurous who wish to load into a transit- standing behind it is the most controlled method in my experience.

Going up forwards is easy so long as you don’t stand on the machine. reversing up feels worse.

As per title- does anyone have something I could adapt? Mainly small scale forestry felling and forwarding with the log bullet.

Yeah that’s fine. I use 10w40 in all my basic diesel and petrol engines. no reduction case on these it’s a direct drive to the pump.

At least £100 a ton delivered in these days, and probably more.

Post some pics for those of us not on Instagram? -
It’s a tax on landowners, not farmers. A land tax of some form is needed otherwise all money goes into property rather than productivity (the thing which actually enriches a country and its people), and you end up with a massive class divide and then civil war. If it works as intended and land values fall, then far fewer genuine farmers should be eligible for it and new entrants might actually get a look in. At the moment it’s a closed shop, and the closed shop is very good at getting their paid peanuts foot soldiers to blindly shout their cause.

Automatrics is who I use. I’m hoping if it’s ever nicked my proximity to their offices should mean I’m high priority for one of their snatchback videos.

I use Celsius Ltd. Had two systems now and always first class service. RuralView supplied me with a 4g camera which I will hang in the locked digger cab when I park it up for the night. Seems to work ok on a spare GiffGaff sim, need to get the multi SIM card it came with working.

Also- with regards to the Ajax system. Not only does it work brilliantly, but it’s made in Ukraine so you’re supporting them too. I’ve just bought another hub/siren and some photo motion sensors to leave on plant parked away from the yard.

Take Mark's idea and mod it a little- make the chipper drawbar removable. Push it up ramps from the side and then remove drawbar.

You can link an alarm system into something like a smoke emitter. Very effective should they gain entry.

Alarms. Alarms, alarms, alarms. Layered security- have an alarm trigger a massive siren and and even bigger floodlight. Cameras are f all use except to check whether an alarm is false or not. Footage of the theft in progess will lead to a conviction in probably 1 in 100 cases. Check out the Ajax system. Very modular and can be built up into a great package for any type of premises.

Never mind the trackers. What alarm system was used at the yard?

Don’t write it off just yet. It may well be fine.

B…b…but Merkel said that refugees would be architects and doctors! And the one time she was right….

If the 2l ranger is in the same class as the 3l ranger it makes a mockery of its eco claims.

Briggs have been rubbish for decades. Trading on the name, along with Black and Decker etc. Just because your grandad says they were good doesn't mean they're worth a wank now. -
I bought a few packs of cheap fizzy water from Bookers yesterday. These caps have a little bit of plastic reinforcement on the hinge, which acts like an overcentre latch. Push it past that and it's out the way and rigidly stays out the way. I hope whoever invented that gets rich. This is what should have been mandated, not a little bit of sharp plastic that lets the lid flop around all over the place. I think people (myself included) are only pissed off with it because it was badly implemented with little standardisation. If all the bottles were like the Bookers fizzy water there would be barely any complaints. 'Sports drinks' have had similar caps for years, and nobody complains about them because they're well designed.

I’ve got an old model. Think it’s a 1265. Nice and basic. Great machine for hedges and property maintenance etc.
