-
ideal but i assume... £$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$

hilux, why have something like a hilux when you can buy an actual one!!
-
i think the quad - dumper is the way to go for the job, as was mentioned its really 50 50 weather its worth doing or not BUT it may well be a gateway to bigger and better things for me...found an irish dealer for iron horse, ill chat him but i know it will be beyond me at the moment
-
Not quite sure what that meant.
I think a horse logger could be the best solution. 15 acres of thinnings sounds like a nice manageable contract.
i meant the iron horse, perfect for the job but a bit much of an outlay at the moment
-
was just asked about the job, im looking at it tomorrow, i know its soft ground, road access and no roads through, 15 years planted
-
i second dent, havent seen there trailers, only pics, there other gear is excellently built! i did notice in the pics of the self drive trailer the max speed is low..... i may be wrong but it might be worth checking....
-
an alstor would be ideal but way too much of an outlay, might hire a dumper for a day and see what kind of result i get... the horse are the job but used ones are well like rockin horse dung
-
argo would be nice, though brutal ground clearance! ive 15 acres this job... soft ground and wet conditions are my problems here, maybe go for a tractor winch but its limited to forestry work where other machinery is versatile for contracting and landscaping
-
brand new bearclaw tyres on a kodiak 400, any hills were a problem, the mud wasnt a big deal, wheelspin on roots was.... i was wondering were the dumpers torquey at leastone person doesnt think so!
-
the track barrow is what im thinking, up to a ton capacity, hydraulic winch would be an easy conversion, the ground conditions here rarely leave a tractor practical, ive skidded and used loaders, diggers and stuff but i want to be able to carry all my gear in the hilux and trailer...
-
I sold my quad a few months ago, ive some sitka thinning to do and wonder whats the best way to go about it?
The quad was grand but had trouble with traction in our "damp" conditions...
I am thinking about trying a small track dumper for the job... has anyone experience with 1 ton or smaller track dumpers??
-
nice, if a lad was in england!
-
mine! love it.... build one yourself!!! ive high sides for it too
-
used petrol dewalt compressor, dear but cracking little tool
-
mine, i was thinking of a dyna body on my old truck but got this professionally built one instead....
theres a few start to finish hilux tipper builds online brilliant one on here
-
ill see how it works out, trimming the body mightnt save that much weight, the crossmembers and stuff is where the big weight is!!
more pics tomorrow... anyone happen to have a suitable winch bumper??
-
thanks, its the job but the body is veeeery heavy!!
-
-
if you do get sorted will you post some pics please?
-
its as said, the only thing i see that is dangerous here is people showing off guns, tools, toys, thats down to individuals though, you can only blame yourself for what you publicise!
-
Bought a professionally built hilux tipper and getting it at the weekend! after doing the sums im better off with this one... pics soon!!!
-
was lookin for one cheap near nyc cos im heading there soon, there still very very pricy new.... there fast machines though....
