  1. If your looking at getting a 4x4 to convert it to a tipper with a small crane have you thought about the pinzgauer 718. They pull 5ton with carrying 1.5ton at least. Try http://www.shropshiregunbus.co.uk There very helpful O and itll look like the picture in my avi All the best bud
  2. It is but not too Much as it can ice up the drinking tube lol
  3. If you really want to carry one up with you try the small 1.5-2ltrs one and have it under ur t-shirt. You could also attach some thick cloth on to the straps so it eases the rubbing. Then have a small cool box in the van ready to top it up again.
  4. Im sure PeteB will enlighten us with what he thinks compared to the greenMec.
  5. So jenson wouldnt lower the cost of there smaller unit aka 530 etc. so this company asked jenson if they could make there own. They agreed and have had some say in parts used. Now the first thing you'll notice is the quality finish having the whole chipper powder coated. With each fold in the metal its been backed up with decent welds. The side buttons are from the tube trains and work great with a nice safety feature, being that if the bumper bar or stop button is pressed, they you tap the go button again it always goes into reserve. Its weights at 950kgs and have added a small bar at the towing eye so the bonnet doesn't get smashed if its been jack knifed whilst reversing. But doesn't affect the drive/drag. Feeds time is impressive and we threw in large pieces with almost 90 degree angles in it and it just asked for more. The box is measured at 8x6. The only thing we could really point out for a lil change would be the hopper size (Larger) possibly but then again it didn't strain on the narly pieces we tried or whole branches. Im sure theres more and will post again but overall its a fantastic machine and we've ordered one. O it comes with 3 yr warranty etc and the grease points in one places is handy
  6. Winch it across then cut or tie off both ends then drag ti each side. Otherwise its a lil paddle bud
  7. Last year i saw an old transit used as a scrap metal wagon but was AA approved lol
  8. Hi paul, im currently using one today and will write up a brief on some findings however the question you asked is the rep told us its in the same line as the 530. In short (like me) the forst is a beast lol
  9. Aye I've used those mirco beads as well, after seeing it mentioned on a past thread
  10. Could you not engrave them both on plastic where anyone one can see and some where, where ud have to strip it down to find on the metal
  11. Will let you know next tues bud. Any questions pass them on and ill ask the rep when he drops it off
  12. Never see it before and I'm no cizzer head. Just thought id ask lol Sent using fones4hobbits
  13. Old speckled hen is a firm and long fav Sent using fones4hobbits
  14. What say you cider heads on this? Sent using fones4hobbits
  15. With cs trousers i wouldn't adapt the trousers at all. This is because you'd weaken the whole structure of the kevlar etc and ud just end up with an expensive pair of jeans. If its helps im on average a 30'' waist and take a size small for the hi flex and a extra small in the x-fit trouser. I think the length is 30-32'' long (or short) lol and when wear cs boots they fit just right It maybe best to go to a shop and try some on with the different makes available bud Sent using fones4hobbits
  16. Just heard that were demoing one in a month or so, and that the smaller jensons weren't doing aswell plus the parts etc were hard get to hold of. So theyve jenson has bought out these two. Also heard that these two models are the only ones to be bought out. But as said this is just all hear say. But will update once weve had our hands on it
  17. I get you bud, but at the min all the work i do is private and i work full time as well. Every job i do is a step closer for me to run my own firm without owing anything and can hit the ground running. Sent using fones4hobbits
  18. As said not everything is on line, and they can sweeten me up anytime as theres some lovely TO's (female) lol. For me its just the way i do things and my clients seem happy with it. Im sure if i was located else where i would adapt and overcome bud Sent using fones4hobbits
  19. Some clients want to know the price of the job before filling out the paperwork. Ive only had one that didn't want the work done due to the price so it saved me time and i left it with them Sent using fones4hobbits
  20. You crack and and pay as i had mine for free. 😜 But what i was getting at , is how my local TO has helped and saved some time for me Sent using fones4hobbits
  21. When i quote work, ill always say to the client that if they accept it. I will be checking for tpo and C.A before i start the work. If there is something to be found i will fill out said paperwork and a separate price for this service. I wouldn't do any work til I've checked even if they ask etc etc. if they don't like it, its no skin off my nose and ill walk away Sent using fones4hobbits
  22. Most clients wouldn't know about tpo's or conservation areas. It only take a quick phone call, most TO's I've spoken to are very helpful. If there is such orders on proposed trees it doesn't take a lot of time to fill out the paper work and its another service you could provide. Again this could also depend on which area your working in. In my surrounding area there a 4 conservation areas that i know of and I've managed to gain a map sent from a county TO to help. Sent using fones4hobbits
  23. All depense on the council i guess. To many times a tpo tree our way has been downed and they've been caught out but the local authority hasn't followed it up. Ive found car dealerships the worse offenders. Sent using fones4hobbits
  24. Enjoying good food and beer steve😜 And put me down for a medium Steve please. Cant be having a incomplete collection lol Sent using fones4hobbits
  25. Ive already emailed them. Thats hiw i knew about the price etc. they said that they'll be placing the sidewinder on their website this week. If you want to purchase one they've asked to email them and they'll send you a Paypal invoice Sent using fones4hobbits
