If it looked a bit battered that might have been our trailer!! It went in for a power pack a while ago but we haven't got round to picking it up yet which is in our favour as our yard it full at the moment!! To be fair Steve has always been really good with us but at the moment he's pretty much running the whole place on his own. I think he's had a run of bad luck with staffing problems. If you're definitely interested its worth persisting or try to arrange a meeting with Steve - i'm happy to answer any questions I can and I'd be happy to meet with you sometime to take a look at ours - what sort of work do you do?

Hello mate - yup, all from Riko. Bought around 6 years ago and it's been a great bit of kit We've recently had a power pack fitted so we can use the timber crane without plugging it into the Alpine tractor ?

Perfect - cheers for that, just been looking for him on Google but not much coming up - does he have a website?

Afternoon We've not done a great deal of felling work so far this season so I'm looking for cordwood I can process into firewood at home to replenish stocks!! We have a small forestry trailer/timber grab so I can collect by the trailer load (trailer is 3m long) Interested to hear if anyone has any road road timber available? I'm in Hampshire (near Hook) but we're near to Berkshire and Surrey county boundaries Many thanks - Tim

Hi all, Looked at a job recently, roughly half way between Winchester and Petersfield. It about as far as we would ever want to travel but we reckon there will be a fair amount of chip to come out. Rather than haul it all back home when we're full wondered if anyone could recommend a chip site in that area? Cheers all :-)

Thought it was about time I uploaded a couple of pic's of my Defender. Had the 110 Td5 for about 4 years now. Stage 3 remap which has made towing the Alpine much better!! I owned the series 3 when I was 18, had it for 3 weeks, caught fire and spent all summer rebuilding it - sold it 16 years ago and found it on ebay last summer so bought it back - time for another rebuild I guess.........!!

That was our concern as well. With the Alpine and rammer we're pretty much on the limit for our trailer. Main thing was getting the tractor/rammer to different sites behind the Defender. In hindsight we wish we've gone for the side sift but there were concerns about stability. Whats you views on the Kanga? Saw one at the Saltex show this year and was impressed - we're got a cattle coral to build soon so 25 1m deep holes to dig. Hand dug last year ...took bloody ages!! Not uploaded a photo before but if it works here's our set up....

Yeah, we've got a Protech P30 (inline) contractor on the back of the Alpine - makes getting strainers in the ground a tad quicker than digging - bloody solid too!! We did some chestnut post and rail in Winchester recently too and managed to ram the post/rails at the same time. It was a very wet site so digging/back filling would have been painful! You thinking of getting a rammer?

Hi Jim All good cheers - you guys keeping busy? Been a little slow this winter so the Alpine hasn't been out much! Roll on spring and another fencing job to get the post rammer going again....hopefully!! Might need to pick your brains again soon, toying with getting a flail for the Alpine?

Yup - Justin Owen 07876333427/01428 643321 Or CGW Chestnut: Contact Us | C.G.W Chestnut & Countryside Management Both are really good, mainly use CGW but both are cut and processed on site. We just finish 5400m of stock fencing at Hook Common and got all our timber from CGW. Worth a look

No, we saw him working on the opposite side of the Punchbowl to us - he was doing 'real' tree work!!! Think he was on Countryfile on Sunday? I don't know him that well but have met him at the National Trust office's, really nice bloke :-) Don't know J Woolgar? Is he local? Another guy we use is Justin Owen, he is based in Haslemere - think I've seen him on Countryfile too...!!

Nice work that :-) We were scrub clearing at the Devils Punchbowl for 3 week before xmas so was watching the progress each day!! You guys doing the tree clearance there as well? Do you get your chestnut locally? we've been using CGW Chestnut, would recommend them

Hello mate, Was that you doing the chestnut post and rail fencing just up the road from Frensham pond before xmas?

Hi James Where are you roughly bases? We have an alpine tractor with a fast tow timber trailer supplied by Riko if you need a hand - we're based on the Hampshire/Surrey/Berkshire border. Riko UK :: AGT 850 (50HP Bi-directional) Riko UK :: Fast tow forwarding trailer Cheers - Tim
