  1. Cooper ST MAXX - very good tyres. Good on and off road.
  2. We have both - the copies do the job and are sensible money. The genuine Tirfors are amazing though. The are properly over engineered and feel like they are indestructible.
  3. Ditch windows and microsoft office and go for ubuntu + libre office. Free and loads better.
  4. Don’t go too big. I have run a 158 cm flail on my AGT835 and it only just manages it. When it hits rough stuff it tends to slow down and you have to go slow. I am thinking about swapping for a smaller one maybe 132 cm.
  5. We use these. Cheap, comfortable and last OK. Oregon Yukon chainsaw trousers Type A | F R Jones and Son
  6. I know what you mean. Its when you spot things like this it gets really bad.... 1976 LAND ROVER 101 Forward Control | eBay

    110 Tipper.

    I think that if the V5 says 3500KG you just need to get a replacment VIN plate made up to match? VIN-PLATES :: Replacement vehicle identification number plates for land rovers.
  8. Have a look here: Logging Equipment | Clark Forest You should be able to make up what ever you need.
  9. Have a search for 'Wolf Wheels'. I think they are the strongest wheels avaliable for a land rover. The geniune land rover ones are fitted to army 'wolf' land rovers and HD 130's. They claim to be rated to 2200Kg each! But not sure about that one.
  10. I run a 200tdi 110. Pulls my trailer with tractor on no problem. Its got 170K on the clock and is showing no signs of slowing down.
  11. Our new 'into the woods' truck. It is an ex-mod V8 with a transit tipper conversion. Pretty much everything on it is falling to bits but the v8 sounds awesome!
  12. As the wood is in Wales you need to speak to NRW: Natural Resources Wales / What you can do will very much depend what the SSSI is for. Some are broad and cover a wide area and others are very site specific. You will need to talk to NRW and agree whatever work you want doing to make sure it does not damage the SSSI features. On the plus side there could be funding available if your work will enhance the SSSI.
  13. This is what they cost new: Vahva Jussi Tractor ATV Quad Bike Forestry Timber Crane Trailer | eBay
  14. Is this the sort of thing? I was planning to fit one to my tipper. Do tools really get broken when you tip? Van Vault Tipper Tool Storage Security Box
  15. I will contact you by PM. Both winners need to make the required donations to the children's trust and then email the confirmation email to Steve. He will then arrange for the prizes to be sent out.
  16. And looks like treefolk got the lanyard for £56. Well done!
  17. And thats it! No more bids please.
  18. Only ten minutes to go... bidding stops at 9:00 pm sharp!
  19. Mull29 - Shall we agree on a deadline for both items? 9pm tonight?
  20. Well done guys - very generous! Lets keep it lanyard only in this thread as it will get confusing otherwise.
  21. So I was the lucky winner of the Arbpro Lanyard in last nights raffle. Whoo Hoo! Unfortunately its not much use to me as I do woodland management and don’t climb. So I think it should go to a more deserving home and hopefully raise a few quid more for the children's trust. So who is prepared to make an offer for it? The highest offer can donate that amount to the children's trust and then Steve can send them the lanyard. Who is going to start the ball rolling?
  22. Yes you are not wrong! But LPG is 65p a litre which helps. I am planning on replacing the cam and chain straight off and sorting the electric side to make sure it is running right. But as I said I am getting it because I want one - I didn’t say it made any sense!
  23. I am just about to close the deal on a 110 V8. I already have 200tdi but have always wanted a V8 Its running on LPG so hoping that will take the sting out of the running costs.
  24. I picked up a cheap Makita 6400 a few years back on ebay. I have been running it on a 20" bar and it has been Okay but is a bit lacking considering the weight. Now it seems to have died on me and will no longer pull over. I am guessing it might have seized. Obviously I need to get to the bottom of what has gone wrong but it got me thinking...... As I understand the 6400 shares the same chassis as the 7900? So if the pot and piston are gone I could upgrade to a 7900 pot and piston and gain few cc? I also spotted this: Nwp Big Bore Piston & Cylinder Assembly (54Mm) For Dolmar 7900, Makita 6401, Solo 681 Chainsaws | NWP | Pistons, Cylinder & Ring Kits | www.baileysonline.com Now at 84cc for basically the same weight I think it would be a proper saw and I could even use it for a bit of milling? Has anyone installed the big bore kit before? Should I go for it?
