final update that i will be leaving the Uk for oz on feb 2nd if there is anyone that can give me any more contacts it would be much appreciated land in adalaide

More work for the last week deadwood a large sycamore and inspection, site survey then much smaller sycamore reduction

been watching this thread and its an interesting topic

we are a small firm based near london and run both lorrys and a mog and it is very difficult to say what to go for as they both get used as much as each other

we run a u1600 ag mog and it had never been a problem being ag reg been ideal as the majority of us on the firm do not possess a hgv licence. saying this we have had lots of problems this year with major repairs. and it being out of action for a while.

due to the dryer weather this year most jobs we have been able to get the lorry off road to a certain extent if not we have towed a chipper with the pick up.

i think it does depend down to how much driving you do long drives in a mog with ag tyres is interesting.

lorrys on the upside are more comfortable cost less to run and can probably carry more but will not get you in as many tight spaces

I'm sure this all makes no sense but thats that

I'll try and find out what the results were for carvers choice. And post them here too.

Results as follows great carving by all

Will lee retaining his title with Bear bench

2nd Danny Thomas with harvester in the woods

3rd dan cordel with badger under tree got a few photos

Well done to everyone

Not got a photo of dans carving.

The hopper is big as well and since we don't have underbody lockers we put the kit in the chipper and is lifted in transit so can't be taken out.
