Sorry its a 1300L. Im guessing a belt run pump would be a much easier and cheaper mount up than something mechanical off the running gear

whats required to mount a front 3 point linkage to a U1300? I understand about the hard mounting but does it require an extra hydraulic pump running off the gearbox, belts off the engine or can you somehow use the power steering pump?

Trees are unpredictable, and sometimes you get weather events that are beyond there limits or the limits of men to control them. Things can be missed or underestimated, we are talking about 2 forces of nature at work, and people trying to predict both We live in a world full of to much ambulance chasing, bureaucracy, cover your ass, paperwork for paperworks sake, lets do as much as possible to make sure nothing gets done while alot of people write reports about it. Guys unlucky to be hit but very lucky to be alive. Life is unfair and sucks at time but chasing this kind of thing is just going to mean more cost for everyone and the loss of trees that a knee jerk pc bs reaction will require more trees to be removed whether dangerous or not. There are guys that build this world, and then there are the leeches which are the bankers, lawyers and politicians who look at our world as something to take advantage of to further there ambitions and greed with claims they are serving others while taking from all.

I hate you people and all like you, you ought to be quarantined Before And after a little work, chipper to be remounted Its a disease I tells ya, a disease! (have tried resizing a few times!)

Nice flying! Trees and truck dont change much, heres some chasing deer (bit of tree trimming thrown in there to)

It all depends on the environment that you work in. We found the one with smaller wheels a nightmare to get up steps and stairs. and on slopped or uneven ground can be very easy to tip over and tend to get stuck alot easier. A mate called the HB20 (a good unit) he had the spitfire, due to the number of victory rolls it used to do, it broke alot of air filters, ended up in a pond so he sold it and got a carlton. As someone mentioned, a grinders absolutely worthless if it cant access the job. Carltons are tough and proven, As are doskos (perhaps the oldest design out there) heck we have an old dosko that has its own trailer hitch so you can just put it on the towbar and tow it to the job as the wheels are highway rated. Before we had it, it was a rental unit for 10 years. Not that great to use but im pretty sure you could break it out as a fossil and it would still work in a thousand years. IMHO a lighter grinder that gets to more stumps is better than one thats faster on fewer stumps.you can always upgrade if theres money in it or rent if bigger jobs come up.

Echo top handles are probably the best value for money saw out there Love my 260t's and 360t's (as well as my ms200's)

if you process trunks alot, cant go past the 3120xp for cutting speed. Makes the 395xp seem slow

I had a client try to do that to me yesterday with a job my 2nd crew were starting today, saying they had a "friend" who could do the job cheaper. I pointed out that the jobs already been accepted, scheduled and that they can no more pull out of an agreed contract than I could double the price once the jobs done. (verbal agreement) This job had required alot of organisation, emails with multiple parties and alot of general hassle. We had come through where others hadnt. Other times I have let these kind of jobs go, but I wasnt going to be further messed around at this point. I feel for you

if the hoppers arent made strong enough to sit on, theres something wrong with how its been made. I know ours take a pounding

Its a childs plot, for a little one who was not of this world very long but who is very much still thought about and loved. I can understand why they want it put right and I will do my best to do so.

We do a few around the gravestones, makes for interesting work at least.

Ah when someone gives you the easy jobs So the banksia stump has pushed the plot out, so they want the stump out and the plot put back. Really sensitive sort of job, and of course we have to be super careful. Dont want to disturb anything, stumps only a bit over a foot round Easy........right? Will post pics when done, but how would you guys tackle it?

Thats awesome, just needs a few pockets and a couple cues! Nice work

Mines stuck to this ugly f'er

Castrol has been developing an oil for landrover. Its concrete coloured. Clever

Traitor! Imagine how little you will ever know about how the delica works, because it probably will keep on doing so

Be wary on running 3/8 on the bigger saws, they stretch and break all to easily. I have broken 3 on my 28inch 3120, none had got even close to 1/2 way through there cutter length. LOVE the 3120. its my go to bombing down saw, makes the 395 and 66's seem like clockwatchers

I have an igland 3000/2, great units

wow those look awesome and clever. we use scorpros, sure footed, really ridged and easier to work from with the curved rungs Feature 1

Trucks for treework come in two convenient sizes To big and To small you get to pick which will piss you off less:thumbup1:

The ropes cheap, you should see the lockjack

[quote name=Fredward;1185541 My Hansa chips them too but I'd hate to see what it would do to the roller/knives/disk/bearings etc' date=' if you did a decent amount and didn't clean it?! Out of interest, what Hansa do you run and how do you find it?[/quote] We clean saws after doing pheonix but have never cleaned the chippers and seen no trouble. I think it reacts with thin alloys, not steel. And we have done plenty of them over the years we have a 18 year old hansa 6 inch (which has done a ridiculous amount of work over the years, its on its second kohler motor), a diesel 6x12 that im guessing is 8 years old and a 30hp petrol 6x12 thats 6 years old. They have never been shed stored. They have all been great chippers. Very reliable, easy to run and keep, and the hansa company has the best customer service I have ever had with any product. We have done main bearings on them over the years which is pretty easy job to do, drive belts, but aside from a couple welds, and the odd engine thing (starter motor, ignition etc), they have run without trouble.

chips fine in our hansas, and the mulch from it grows tiger worms in numbers you dont see anywhere else. The ONLY good thing about the whole damn plant

Not sure about UK pricing but you can probably get a 355t and 260t for the cost of a 201t and be way better off
