Mitch

I've got a Riko fast tow, use it for taking timber back to farm and delivering bulk bags

got a friendly warning from vosa, that if they were to pull me they would prosecute for no taco and no CPC cert for delivering for hire and reward

Sure it's not stone or debris behind stone shield ? If not take pads out and copper slip back of them

I've used easy books on iOS for 4 yrs, free to start, then pay for add ons and cloud sync

Does invoices, estimates, aged debt, trial balance profit and loss, balance sheets etc, Oh and VAT

Certainly helped me a lot

Hope it goes well, give me a shout if you need anything

Mitch. The jobs seems an ideal job for me if it's the one you seen. Burnhope area by any chance Near my house , few mile from yard. And it be a good winter job .

 

If I don't get a fast tow il use a Timbertrailer with crane with the quad.

 

 

Looking at options outside of just this job [/

 

If it's for peter , yes same job !

 

initially I was interested in timber but predominantly pine if I remember right

 

I'd said to him it needs a forestry mulcher

 

If you need a Mobil processor or fast tow let me know

Ah I think I know the job your pricing, I walked away from it

I have the fast tow, local to you, may hire it out

Hi Mitch is that yours mate nose load must be loads of weight there thanks Jon

Sorry for late reply

Yeah that's my fast tow , full summer oak , got back safely

Maybe a little overloaded !

This guy done mine on defender

Nearly 3 years ago and no issue at all

I have a mate who works for council and they use one I'll drop him a text

But coming from a green keeping back ground , parts are expensive

Have you looked at ferris zero turns

Have a look at riko UK

Saw bench or Saw bench and conveyer, both very good machines

I have a woodline wl16 vertical pto splitter for sale £1300 , very good condition

Havnt got one myself but would certainly like one

The 635 seems to be people choice that I've spoke to

Had similar issue with mine, battery tested showing plenty of charge but ecu would not engage fuel pump, new battery sorted it

Very impressed , thanks for sharing

Halfords for me, life time guarantee , and I have a trade discount card

Just got her back from the spray shop, well happy!:thumbup:

Looking good, Iiking the timberwolf orange

Yes mainly roads, fields, golf courses and building sites etc

Hello Folks,

 

we have been thinking of getting one of the road going forestry trailers to be able to pull it behind a hilux to bring it to the site and use it on site to extract to the roadside. What do people think? Good idea, bad idea? Downfalls?

 

 

 

Lots of the sites here have bad access. We don't really have the capital to buy tractor as well and then even if we did we will still need trailer to get it to site so thats why we're thinking of going down this route.

 

 

 

The hilux is 2494cc, year 2004, the trailer we've been looking at is fast tow breaked trailer from RIKO, which can come with flat bed or bolsters and has hydraulics to move the bed back and forward on the chassy to adjust the weight. They come at £14200 ex VAT - we'd get 40% of that covered by FFIS.

 

 

 

Any experience sharing will be most appreciated! Mostly worried about overtaxing the hilux and wrecking it!

I have the riko fast tow, and I can honestly fault it, it's a heavy trialer , about 1200kg empty , we have loaded it to the hilt, with bolsters or with flat bed

Can't speak about using it I'm a forestry environment as that's not what I do but sure other will have an opinion to help advise you
