understand you completely, the grizzly has independent suspension all round so its a pig, the solid axle was a better job for working, for play independent is miles better. i reckon a hydraulic sliding axle would sort the problem of weight to the quad with varied loads and access. Theres a company called Avestawagen make the best trailer on the market but i cant find there website!
-
as above the kodiak 400 is a nice size, the main problem i have is when loaded the quad hates going uphill and downhill, on the flat its great, ive a grizzly 660 now still same problem its that bad im thinking of making a trailer with an adjustable axle. My average ground conditions are either peat that the quad digs or sticky clay that fouls the tyres ( kenda bearclaws are best imo) Ive skidded logs with chains and used a bunk trailer
-
My 660 is easily twice maybe 3 times harder on fuel than my old Kodiak 400 ever was, But as was stated, if you want horses you may feed them
-
grizzly 660, walkin b strd on petrol, serious power though but loves fuel

cool, I done alot afrock climbing a few years ago, I may get the muscles again!
-
Fair play for learning the basics of climbing, do you do much with chainsaws?

I didnt know a thing about trees until 4 years ago, A tree fell on the land and I wanted to cut it into firewood. Myu uncle gave me his 1970s Partner and It was like a duck to water. I learn something new every day and am happy at the work. I will progress. Ive not always seen eye to eye with some people on here but Ive learned so much.

Im considering training in arbiculture as im just firewood cutting and smallscale thinning. Its not easy to get started when your 31

I rarely walk on them, ive driven over them , caught them between tracks, mashed a screen while it was in my pocket. Sonim seems to be good, but the only one available here is the landrover one.. Thanks for opinions keep them coming!
-
Might as well get opinions here as anywhere else! I use 2 phones, ones got cheaper calls but crap reception, the other excellent reception and extortionate rates! every 6 months or so ive to replace the handsets as there batterys, screens, speakers (one or the other) are fecked. Im no Bear Grylls but I use Quads, Jetski, Tractors, Diggers Hilux etc so Water, dust, shock, falling are where the phones meet there end. Battery life and reception aremy priorities, I rather use my laptop for Internet Ive always had the mentality buy cheap ones and replace when broken but im thinking of getting one of the new rugged models, like the cat or landrover model with dual sim. Anyone got advice?

I had a 2000 Mercedes Sprinter 312d. Excellent excellent van, Acres of room even when shelved. It towed a Transit pickup on a 16 foot triaxle Ifor Williams a hundred miles in slushy conditions and never missed a beat. With 300,000 miles on it.

Freelanders are a great wagon, only for the weird joint that gives trouble they would be ideal!

2002 mk 5 2.5 d4d hilux unsure of liters, from near empty costs about E120 to fill, standard size wheels and tyres. 50 - 55 mph country driving rarely town driving, tailgate closed i get 430 miles to the tank and with the dipethene additive it gets just over 500 miles to the tank. thats with concious easy driving, no towing no off roading. I will be trying a hydrogen kit in the next few months, ill report back then. and i want to study bed vortex drag in the mean time
-
I was trying to find something similar last year. I settled for a d4d Hilux, really watching the right foot and using dipethene im getting 500+ miles to the tank. Im looking into adding a hydrogen system to get more. I was going to get a jimny but Id never hear the end of it with my friends... Im 6 foot 3

Different! Nice machine!
-
Fine set up. Any pics of crane setup please?
-
Your probably going to need a bigger wallet! For any decent petrol machine youll be spending over a grand. I dont know much about electric ones.
