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.

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 .the last two pictures are of the older van we recently sold.the diamond tread were by far the best gripping tyre on a van ever but the load ratings wernt enough,that said even with those we never had any issues with them whatsoever and never any issues on mot or anything like that.as stated we work out in the sticks,don't do motorway nor dual carriageway work with either of these tippers and never a problem for country lane and farm work.granted no doubt I'll get sh1t on here for load ratings,clearance etc but if you don't try these things to see what works for you then how do you learn? Not suited for urban or city slicker arborists but works perfectly well for us.

...or cooling

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🤣

Not posted on here in a while so thought I'd pop a post up of what we've been upto!

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!

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.

Id say an aspen, very similar to pop[ tho :?

I wouldn't put my chains below ground level

I wouldn't put your chains below pal either

fabulous pics, thought id resurrect the thread

200t wont drop batteries

landfill

strip topsoil off and sell it, then bank it up and fill it in

yep this is already going to be included

ideal many thanks

can you include a search thingy that as a new thread is submitted, as you type in your title of your thread it comes up with results of previous threads to reduce threads being repeated over and over etc if anyone understands me?

like google search bar or you tube as you type, it gives you examples of things already on there and could direct you to them first?

cut the end off a piece and sprinkle chain file shavings on it, if it oxidises and turns the grain purple then most prob oak or sweet chestnut but deffo looks oak to me

yikes just spoke to kaaz from ebay £71.00 +VAT wish it hadn't got broken now

I occasionally produce smells that could suggest I was dead or decaying
