  1. More than enough. Never flex with the pressures in those trust me... run daft tyres for several years and never had any issues. Keep em pumped up hard and truck on.
  2. No🤣 there is a wee gap between them believe it or not and a 12mm spacer between the rims in there too. They're 235/75/16 with a commercial load rating. There's a fair bit of wind in them to be fair but they've never actually touched together. Used to be on 205/75/16 but during lockdown these were the only replacement tyres we could find,granted a bit bigger but traction for a transit is great 🤣
  3. There is a wee bit of gap.....there's a 12mm spacer between the rims....never had any issues,they don't touch when heavily loaded nor get even remotely warm....run at fairly high pressures in them but all our work is never 30mins from the yard, does no motorway work and very rarely sees a dual carriageway! Run it like this for nearly 7 years without any issues.... only issue we had once was we got a builders cordless drill stuck between them and it ripped a sidewall🤣
  4. Felling of large Ash,removed the back weight and let her fly! VID-20230213-WA0009.mp4
  5. Just found another! Snapchat-627108140.mp4
  6. One of the larger black pines felled on a site clearance recently😁 VID-20230209-WA0002.mp4
  7. Not posted on here in a while so thought I'd pop a post up of what we've been upto!
  8. Tyres make a big difference but also knowing your vehicles limits. Built a mk7 transit monster truck a few years back for the jobs where we needed something between a van and the tractors.wirked a treat but had its limits. Surprised me where it would go but also surprised me some of the stupid places I'd get it stuck!
  9. We're based in Congleton and cover surrounding areas fella
  10. Subby climber required regular work cheshire
  11. Hi Michael, Its all a matter of watching the wood as you work it, there's no way of explaining what you are doing right/wrong when cutting into it, you just get used to cross cutting it. Tension /compression works in many different ways dependant on how the tree is sat, where its sat etc, the best thing you can do is cut little and often always watching the woods reaction with a need to get your saw out as soon as it starts to close up on you. It will come with experience fella.
