  1. If you want to lift big timber forklift is the way to go, even some of the small ones will out lift the average loader tractor
  2. I bought a Riko 25t splitter about 4 years ago what made me choose it over others was the weight of it, was heaver then others on the market so bigger steel used. With large lumps load it with crane on trailer.
  3. When I first saw it with husk on didn't look like walnut as so big.
  4. Fork lift is the only thing going to lift that weight.

    Walnut

    Found some walnuts in garden working in today they were from neighbours tree they are massive, Photo is 1 next to large egg, anyone else seen ones this size.
  6. Got a ifor 8x5 tipper I use for wood chip on large jobs and log delivery's with mesh sides which I lined with alloy sheeting think it 2mm got fabrication company to cut it to size and bend a lip on the top edge, made flat squares to fix it to mesh and riveted along top edge. Been on trailer for must be 8_9 years know. Will post some pictures later. You could use 3mm stokboard.
  7. I agree with what you say but, every AD plant is have maize carted in by tractors ran on red and running 12_14 hours a day which is not agricultural.
  8. Big leaners need big kit and take time and effort to put in the right place. 30t Jack is not light.
  9. if you have pulled rope for years with tirfor and not snapped rope it machine operator that is the problem not understanding what tension to put on rope.
  10. What has engine come off may depend how it is set, I bought 1 that had been on cable winch had been converted to electric fuel shut off which was knackered had to make new leaver to bolt on to thread sticking out off governer box. Which model is yours.
  11. Large Beech reduce in the last couple of days, did it 7 years ago because of decay in base and will probably be felled in 2-3 years time. Its a centre piece to the front drive and will be a shame when it has to come down.

    ANTS

    Is it just me or is there a lot of them about, been working on a large Beech tree reduction and have been bitten many times little sods were more active this morning after a good downpour first thing this morning.
  13. What the length of that jib, looks very impressive.
  14. What size timber are we talking about and what quantities,
  15. All ways check hire stuff when it turns up and if no good send it back, they soon get the message you take no crap.
  16. Your problem is its a hire machine, seem many fitters at hire shops servicing chippers and they haven't got a clue what try to do.
  17. Here's 1 way it can be done, knew i had seen it some where
  18. Help my brother do some work on pipes on his digger can only think a nightmare of a job as not much space spare on a digger to fit extra stuff.
  19. You could try KMR Hadleigh in Suffolk.
  20. Don't track and cut, swing and cut is the answer as it shows in most promo videos of hedge cutters like that.
  21. It bears little fruit, but has a dainty white flower in spring. So it may be.
  22. Ran Tanaka tbc 230 with hedge cutting head for many years, in the last couple of weeks been flat out every day. Easy to start hot or cold
  23. Ditto,, I have a Tobroco Giant 204 all steel not plastic panels, Kirkland machinery had some deals on them when I last looked. My brother has driven both Avant and the Giant and says giant all day long for move ability.
