  1. Sort out a saw for someone my brother is working for, and got given this. It pulls over but may take some head scratching to get it going.
  2. As said if you are going to use road going truck you will be limited on the terrain you are going to get over and lucky to pull any more then 2.5 to 3. Ton max.

    speed

    Been cutting hedge alongside road put signs and cones out as you do, it was in a 30mph limit were some take no notice as it at end of village. Soon is there a speed limit when you enter road works as been looking and can not find anything in highway code. There is were signed on major roadworks.
  6. Clearing of ancient monument so no bragging of tree from it with winch, so used a simple skyline setup which worked very well and moved some big lumps of timber. I have seen enough ivy for a long time ever tree was covered.
  7. They will not shroud were tree work is being carried out, also if you request a shut down you should do that if they decline to do that It's there problem then.
  8. That's why I said a auto would be best, 3.0 engine and a heavy right foot maybe to much for an R380. Were as an auto keeps everything under control.
  9. Suffolk is a big place what's the post code.
  10. Would of thought a autobox behind a BMW 3.0 better then R380.
  11. Bar tip guard will only stop kick back, it will not stop using them one handed and cutting other arm or body. Also chain technology has improved along way and maybe improved more to stop kick back.
  12. Just found this on Ebay:thumbup: lot of money Vintage Ex Military AEC Matador 4x4 Recovery Vehicle Heavy Winch Timber Jib | eBay
  13. That door is to stop things getting out, bolt on the outside:biggrin:

    Tyres

    I know there not near you but may be worth a ring they have take off tyres which can be brand new, I got a pair of 13.6 x 38 firestones for less than £700. Independent Tyre and Wheel supplier and Honda Power Equipment Supplier | Fieldens
  15. Glass can be interesting. Could not work out what a had hit as no chatter like hitting metal or rattle like stone. Was in the base of tree How it got is anyone's guess
  16. Use one as ground saw snedding for chipper. And nice and light up tree as well but it is a great all rounder
  17. I had a 1.5 digger on site years ago digging trenches for hedges and had an afternoon spare on hire for it and asked customer was there anything else they needed doing with a digger, can you get that old sycamore root out it had 4 stems about 18 inches across well after a lot of digging and head scratching I had it moving the only way I got it out was hook a chain on it and drag it
  18. Got the same dilemma for my loader move it around on ifor 8x5 tipper which has the capacity to carry it but is high up when loaded and looks like a pull. Have considered 8x4 plant and thought maybe not ideal and have also considered 9x4 ifor plant so i could have some movement were i can position it to get weight right but then its a long trailer and wide. Were as if i buy a ifor lm125 gives me more opposition and can carry more implements at the same time and i think it is no wider or longer. Would be nice to try before buying.
  19. No diff lock on series 3 landy
  20. I may get slated for is but. It's nice to have a sign written truck but it tells them where it will be park at night or not far from that address, google earth my help them as well once they have your address. Facebook and Twitter telling everyone your new purchase. And we then think how did they know.
  21. All been sorted thanks, it was someone I know want to hire one for site clearance job .
  22. Can you move bottom roller up a tool with a pry bar .
