  1. As that Giant is Red did it come from Kirkland machinery
  2. One truck will not tick all boxes. About 90% of my work is do with Landy 130 because nothing else will get in there or over the ground. Big take downs are a pain but have a tractor and trailer to clear large timber away .
  3. Have you tried Sandy lane nursery or Swann nursery.
  4. Fair enough with loader on site.
  5. If you can fill both you are working to hard
  6. what about a trailer behind a pickup.
  7. Alec and Steve now how it works.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Suffolk is a big place what's the post code.
  17. Would of thought a autobox behind a BMW 3.0 better then R380.
  18. 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.
  19. Just found this on Ebay:thumbup: lot of money Vintage Ex Military AEC Matador 4x4 Recovery Vehicle Heavy Winch Timber Jib | eBay
  20. That door is to stop things getting out, bolt on the outside:biggrin:
