on road however is a different story:001_smile:
-
If your asking this question then no you do not need one, you can make do brashing up on a trailer or tipper bed. eventually if you get enough work you will get fed up of mashing up and burning it etc, by then you will know you need a chipper
-
Its alright, his is a Takeuchi they are designed to be lifted by the cab which seems odd but the lifting hoops are pretty convincing.

ha yeah, buy the tree for x amount go and sort it and send him a bill for the labour/expenses
-
Itd be worth sticking a bit in the chipper then go and have a tea break and wait for it to finish:001_rolleyes:
-
I get the impression he'll be one of those "whys the price so expensive, its only cutting trees" types when he does eventually have to call someone out to clear it.
-
felling on a sunday eh?
-
all 3 are far quicker then that!
-
sure, but would you go as far to put a bid on it?
-
seems incredible that such a reputable make as vermeer couldn't do a bit better then that. Theocus, I don't mean to offend your chipper:001_smile:
-
Not too many on Dartmoor despite horrific winds, a few months ago we had a real belting which probably weeded out the weaker ones then. Although I cleared an area of windblow back then and I notticed a whole load more have blown down now the woods have been opened up.
-
blimey, that has to be THE slowest chipper ever. are all vermeer 160s like that or is there something wrong with that one?
-
I have a 150vtr which is the same as a 150 but tracked and thats done 1600 hours, don't know if thats a lot by chipper standards, hopper has belled out a bit- obviously not ideal but its doesn't effect the chipper at all.
-
I had to sort a beech tree out as we were clearing it up the neigbouring trees rootplate came up by a foot so dropped that one too. gottsa love it, and cars never slow down
-
yep, the ultimate fencing machine, another person would just be standing around with that machine, I seen the videos on you tube. you can put rock spikes on them too
-
very nice, does he tow that behind a 4x4 or does he need a tractor?
-
but in order to do this they have had to invest in some serious post banging machinery, a contractor model post knocker is around 10k and thats before the tractor, digger, auger, wire rollers etc. whereas backgarden type fencing can be done with a spade and a spirit level so therefore cheaper contractors are generally compromising elsewhere:sneaky2:
-
I think if your just tree work then it all comes down to having the right job for it, but if you undertake say fencing as well as tree work I fail to see how this couldn't make anyone profit.
-
is that £15k plus VAT for the 532?
-
I wish you hadn't posted this, i had just finished convincing myself i didn't need a boxer!superb bit of kit by the looks of it. and so versatile. Just think you'd pay £15k in wages for a groundy, when I think how much labour the boxer would provide for years to come its a no brainer really. Big Bolt on here keeps posting pics of his up with various attachments and it gets me thinking everytime!
-
It does because domestic fencing is so easy to set yourself up with minimal costs so lots of people think theyll have a go.
-
:001_smile:that looks ridiculous!
-
You just need the right lever in the right place, the inner lever needs to be pushed into the notch then the cable should slip through, just fiddle around with the levers, you'll get there eventually., Oh make sure your pushing the cable through the right end!
-
Any less then £300 I would say is a bit too cheap, quote to do a decent job!
