  1. You may find it easier to just get ford or massey weights and make frame to hook them on. Think I have seen ford ones hooked on valtra.
  2. Lots of kit for sale is what I have seen. Or is some just getting rid of stuff they haven't used in a while.
  3. Had a piece of dry elderberry go through a rear tractor tyre when swiping shoot rides was about one and a half inches in diameter.
  4. I have ran 3 tanaka pole hedge cutters and one of them is a killer to your hands with vibration. Had to have new crank bearings under warranty as they had play in them still no difference. It runs OK so just use it with a good pair of gloves.
  5. To add, old warreners used it as snare pegs, large pieces split to get pegs and then shaped.
  6. Surely as he is selling logs to be dried by the buyer he doesn't need to register, as long as he covers himself by stating not to be burnt until dry, with a good paper trail.
  7. Nifty have it as an option on their large cherry pickers.
  8. That is the trouble with large chipper, but if most of his work is one load away not a problem. But if he has or gets himself a trailer it would also work well. It's about time chipper manufacturers had an option of fitting power drive to wheels like some carvans have.
  9. Just the size of a 8inch capacity chipper would put you off pushing it about by hand. As it is bigger I would of thought it would be easier to back it to drive as you will see it,
  10. I would certainly say they has gone over the top with quote to repair but that's how they work no point repairing stuff just replace it. If you can get it cheap and repair it yourself to get it running would be worth a go.
  11. They moved fence line nearer to tree when replacing posts last year.
  12. Builder decided to cut bit out of conifer to get fence back.
  13. I had an old Premier chipper and built up rollers with weld and them reshaped them the different in performance was great. You just have to now the angle you have to re-grind them too.
  14. Must be over 12 years ago at work could not move right arm away from my side, customers daughter was a physio and he booked me an appointment, saw her the night and them next afternoon and she said i had detached rotor cuff muscles. Anyway got an appointment to see doctor how then sent me to consultant how also said the same as others had and said i needed opp to put it right with no need for MRI scan, at that point i dug my heels in and said i was not having any opp with out a scan. In the end he said ok but the opp appointment came first and i turned it down and the following week had x-rays to see if any metal in eyes and then MRI scan, turned out no problem with cuff muscles they only thing they found was i have a bone impingement So get a scan to find out if all telling you are right or not, from start to finish it was about 5 that said i had. Still gives me pain if i do something like flick a rope to get it to drop or use an axe or sledge hammer.
  15. The answer to the question is, he how has anything on finance is not probably going to make it though. Sole traders or Ltd makes no difference if you cannot pay it back its going back.
  16. Old companies should be OK with good customer list and mixed work. Had gigaclear bloke stop and ask me about cutting some trees back yesterday, when I told him I couldn't do it till January he turned around and got back in his car. A lot of companies will not be registered so no way of knowing.
  17. Any good fabricator should be able to knock something up. Where are you based.
  18. Any a little leak on a hydraulic union which is a sod to tighten up.
  19. I bought a Greenmech 220tmp at the beginning of the year, can't fault it chipping conifers started off running it on a Fendt 304 now running it on a Vaultra 6400. Only trouble we have is keeping it fed by hand. The bit in picture is about 7inches across butt end and 20 ft long.
  20. Check drive between engine and pump. As maybe a key way has failed or a nut come loose.
  21. You forgot lying to an officer as lights are still on trailer.
  22. No number plate and no tail board,
  23. How are you going to lift them on to splitter if you bloke can't lift rings on to vertical splitter. I use a Riko 25t to brake big stuff down, Mark 4 rings then cut through it and lift it on to splitter with crane, splitter splits it into 4 then cut them into 9inch pieces which can then be put through smaller vertical splitter.
  24. Most nurseries not lifting till mid November.
  25. Watch Bangers and Cash the other night and they run cars u on to ifor then on to Iveco car transporter, with short ramps.
