  1. Thanks for posting, some seriously cool and interesting stuff on the website
  2. Is the mog and chipper on the open market for sale? (out of interest)
  3. Hmm, food for thought there, thanks for posting
  4. Top vid and great work!
  5. That looks a superb set up. What was the costs involved for the lift and ally body? Any idea of the load / weight capacity?
  6. Another thought also, going of the back of bens post about breaking down, I assume wood chips getting in the lift mechanism might be an issue?
  7. Hi Graham, There's lots of threads on here about transits and more specifically the members arbtrucks thread in the arbtruck forum. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/7896-arbtalkers-arbtrucks.html I am however interested to hear peoples thoughts on the tail lift as I was looking at one the other day and had the same thoughts. Since I do garden maintenance and landscaping along side the arb work it would be very useful and labour saving for some jobs. Also if I bought a pedestrian stump grinder then loading it would be easier too. However its also extra weight.
  8. sounds pukka especially the reach
  9. How does the tower style crane compare to traditional cranes cost wise? Looks a great bit of kit
  10. Excellent video, very inspiring and awesome views
  11. Or just raise the crowns of the trees lining the route in first - removes the access issue all together and improves the property access.
  12. How big is their family car? Would a MEWP squeeze under it? Some of the JLG and Genies are 2m closed height and yet will go up 12m? (and out 6m which might be useful if its leaning over water) Or climb it
  13. Nice, i'll send you a pm Garth
  14. Yup, thats the ones Frankie, are you local to me then?
  15. Thanks for that. Also anyone with PTO chippers and grain trailers etc in the area would be useful too. Thanks
  16. Hi folks Just putting out feelers to see if anyone knows of a big chipper / biomass chipper that can load lorries for a big road side conifer bashing job? Location - Goudhurst area, Kent. There are 75 Leylandii trees in total and need 2/3rds off (i know id rather remove them but they ain't having it). They will be lowered to the ground using a crane but if we can keep them big and bung them straight through then the job will be more efficient and viable. I dont have a tip local enough and the volume will be huge. Thanks in advance
  17. Looking at the first image, my choice would probably be to remove some of the lesser trees and therefore improve the light levels without impacting upon the other trees.
  18. Good work there, how are you finding the camera so far?
  19. Out of interest, was this in the south or south east? Sounds like the same one that approached me, reported them to the police
  20. Fell it with a view to keeping it whole and assess the timber, all else fails its lots of firewood
  21. Job job chaps, and that looks like a very handy little loader
  22. Seen today in Cranbrook area of Kent: Be on the look out for some Irish sounding blokes in a dirty white transit van selling very fake 'Stihl' Chinese copy chainsaws and Makita drills and dodgy other stuff. They have been reported to Kent police, but didn't get the plate due to angle. Keep ya eyes peeled and report all contact
  23. Accurate it may be, but the cutter I have has proven to be good for all sizes of trimming and cutting. Its all down to keeping the edge well honed with a file. No need to buy two in my opinion.
  24. I use Easyspace to host mine and several others websites, I build them myself using Drupal as a free CMS platform, ideal for pretty much anything!
  25. I have the HS81R CE, been perfect for cutting thick and thin material and never missed a beat, easy to start easy to maintain, reliable. I got mine at Jones' who seem to offer the best prices going for most things Stihl HS 81R CE hedgecutter (24" cut, 22.7cc) | F R Jones and Son
