Bought it about end of January this year, do you know who married the track frame to the chipper ?

i own the tracked one in the photo in this post,

Is this the chipper in question Gary ? came from your neck of the woods !

No i did,nt and i dont think many people would of thought it would take this long ! and you never know it may be another 3.5 years yet or more like not at all, they started some road works on the M6 just after the referendum and you will never guess, the road works are now finished !!!

you could of had at least 3 years coining it in off them trailers ??? if only we had known that the people with in parliment where all going to act like a load of 5 yr old school kids and could,nt make a decision to save lives, parliment at the moment all ways reminds me of the haribo TV add,

Tedious beyond belief,, your not wrong there, we had to do a FISA refresher in Feb of this year, 95% of our work is either windblown or big stuff, the amount of trees under 15" i have felled in the last couple of years i can count on my fingers, but on the refresher we where doing small trees not what we do every day, my thoughts on this refresher course is that its just a money making thing, how often do we go for a driving refresher course ? i aint been on one yet and been driving 38 yrs now, and i would say that a car,van,pick up or a truck would kill anyone who was stood in the wrong place at the wrong time,!!,

Totally agree with the above and it has certainly got people talking about it, and when this happens there is generally a sales increase, and in the shit time of Brexit is it a ploy to boost overseas sales if so good on them, as you cant beat a bit of forward thinking and this to me is forward thinking at the top level, once over we where called Great Britain and lead the world in engineering but today i dont think so, may be this is the start of a great british engineering empire again and my hat is raised to all the staff behind this project, and i am sure John Cyril Bamford would of been very proud of this world record project,

do you think it would make a differenc cherry or clear ?

very good at biting my lip these days, mind you i have to be with some of the arseholes i have to work with, once over i would of just told him to F - - K off and left it but i so it as a very cheap load of timber and as some one has said, doing someone a favour, ?? every day is a school day no matter how old you are,,,

Had a simular thing myself a few years ago, it was at a time when yard and building was full of wood, anyway we went and did a job 1 lime 1 cherry and 2 small birch, A few weeks before i had been asked by someone for some cheap wood so a couple of days before we was to do the job i rang this guy explained what it was and there would be a cabstar pickup and ifor tipping trailer full a price of £80 was agreed ,cash left in a bag under the bin, went tipped off collected cash and home, gets a phone call about 6pm with this guy going mad that i had tipped it in the wrong place he wanted it through the car port to the top of his drive and he could only get one car on the drive, i just said calmly ok i will come back and help him move it so we loaded it up and he said i want it here,so i asked him who was repairing car port after i had destroyed it as truck and trailer wont go under, i just looked at him gave him his cash back and said that i will go and turn the timber in to £600 jumped in truck and left, 18 month later i am delivering 2 bags of the said logs next door but 1 to where i tipped the timber off originally, and this guy was telling me that no one in the street bothered with him as he was one of them that was never happy and moaned about every one in the street, happy days,

will make a point of a day up there again when its a bit warmer, all our lot are on the Santa special from Haverthwait to lake side again this year they all enjoyed it that much last year it was booked again just in to the new year,

Been on lyl Ratty a few times over the years, i take it is still running then if your doing railside works, just thinking it would be a good day out with grand kids,

there will be 100s of them ridges about round the country, and i would say you aint tryed that hard to find one ? there is posts above with them for sale in cement fiber but the ones on that roof will be asey, ring a someone who dismantls and removes asbestos they will bin loads of em, or to put a flat plastic coated ridge on, as used on box profile roofs would cost you about £40 for 3 8ft lengths and a couple of hrs to do it, not that expensive really,

first of all forget chipping brash in a woodland enviroment, if the trees are dead as you say the brash will shatter when the tree hits the ground and you will have very little brash to deal with, and what is on the floor just leave it to go back in to the ground for new growth to flureish on

wood is a bit like a sponge it will take moisture in even out of the atmostphere if it is wet shitty weather like we are getting now, i have had customers buying kiln dried logs in september (not from me) and then ring me asking for some dry logs that burn, when there problem is not the kiln dried logs they bought and now dont want to burn like they did when purchased the problem is the storage area where the logs are stored outside the back door where it dont get much breeze and even less sun, in weather like this it is hard to keep logs at reasonable moisture content so they do burn hot,

Now that guy knows what he is doing but some where in S10 he has rough do ! but top cutter in my book,

and i believe Shellby stanga passed away as well ?

Gabe Rygard killed in a car crash while filming S10, Jimmy smith cancer who was in the helicopter ??

Yep Bucking Billy Ray what a prick, seems all gob and wind and runs a fleet of crap antique saws, the rest the show is fine,

you where a bit slow there Steve we have just had Bonfire night,,,, only 362 days till next one thou !!!!

Caution !!!!!

As stubby says you get what you pay for, the chains i find either dont sharpen as well as stihl or oregon, some of the rototech chains i have had there will be one or two cutters that are either hard or to soft ! there does not seem to be a hardness consistancy on the cutters, only time i now use rotatech chains is for cutting arb waste up dont use them on the forestry work any more, Oregon chains i find to be about the best for price and durability, only thing i can say about rotatech bars are they are heavey,,,

Hi there is a guy here in lancs with a mobile woodmizer mill he is on £350 a day plus a bit of traveling and blades so you may be a bit cheap at £30 an hour but if it will benifit you in the long run with this guy having a good supply of timber, your may be not that far off and there is one thing i all ways say is look at these things from every angle, and dont just think about tomorrow think well a head especially if you think there could be more to come from the same source, the guy above is not mad busy but steady away he dont addvertise any where but if i rang him it would be 2-3 wk before he could do owt, Have a look round and you will come up with a realistic answer the guy who is rushed off his feet with work is to cheap, the guy who sits at home 4 days a week is to expensive, i am sure you get picture,Good luck with it as well,

dont know what happened to the original text that was in this reply with the photos ! it aint loaded up,????

i was,nt going to say owt but when i was talking to Ball,y a few week ago we was on about this and he said about 1,5 tonne and the newer machine a bit better at about 2 tonne, but was reading all replies above and just amazed that one will lift 8 tonne ????..
