I'd second the Tajfun recommendation, They have some smart features, nice build quality, and the power outfeed option is a luxury you won't look back from! especially with a Lodar radio control. I've used the 8ton, still quite a compact winch.

Exactly this. If/when i get a faster, lighter machine it won't be going anywhere. The chassis, chute and flywheel at least will outlive my tree career! My kind of engineering. I freelance alot anyway so wouldn't want a nice financed forst sitting for days or weeks.

I checked the plate today and it's 1100KG..."Overweight and out of date" it may be, but its my first chipper, was the only thing affordable and has paid for itself quickly. J

Hi, I have a '99 625i, although a bit slow and slightly underpowered they are bombproof machines. Easily maintained and rebuildable. Mine was under 3k, although i reckon the main factor in their cheapness is their high weight (1.2t) for their size, requiring a trailer test to tow. Still they are narrow and manouverable, i wouldn't be without mine!! You could consider fitting the petrol kohler v-twin that mine has, readily available and reliable. Hope this helps! J.

Hi SteveA, I'm not sure if it's too late to be of help but I can highly reccomend the Samsung XCover 3. Just upgraded from my previous Xcover-2 years old, lives in the leg pocket of my sweaty chainsaw trousers climbing and grounding 5 days a week! I've kept the old handset as it is still fully functioning, still with excellent battery life. They have a rubber sealed built-in case which keeps water and rubbish out. Although still a thin phone.Bright and very usable torch which has got it dropped into many engine bays, chipper flywheels etc! New one has better memory, camera etc. Love it! J.

Level 4 Arboriculure at Merrist wood opinions?
PatMustard replied to OakStag's topic in Training & education
Hi All, this is my first post. I've also enrolled at Merrist Wood OakStag, for this September. I know little about the course other than what's in the prospectus; does anyone from last year have anything to say about the course-workload etc? Would anyone have a relevant reading list so i can start adding to the library in preperation? Thanks in advance.
