Hate seeing stuff like this, absolute scum bags that won’t ever change dont know how they sleep at night https://youtu.be/FO-PvN96wG4

I must admit that every time I start my old ms390 that has never let me down in 10 years, I often wondered how I could lower the gyroscopic forces......?‍♂️

I’m near derby mate

Hi all, hope your well. I brought this shredder today along with some other tree surgery items from a private sale as a non runner and will get round to looking at it ASAP to get it running. Apparently it was running fine up untill the old owner unfortunately got ill and passed away so it got left under a tarp and not been ran since. This was about two years ago. Thats as much as I know so far tbh. I have some questions that someone on here might be able to help me with if possible? 1....it seems an older model? Are parts still available?? 2....has anyone used one? Are they any good? 3....what would you say it’s worth “sold as seen” as it is? And what’s it worth in running condition? Open to realistic offers and any interested party is welcome to come and view it, check serial numbers,police records etc before any deal is done! Also I have a trewellha monkey winch that fully works if that is worth anything to anyone? Few land anchors,and a stump jack to, all good heavy duty stuff that would be handy to someone on this forum so thought I’d ask about here first before I try it all on eBay. Hope I’m allowed to post this here! Just thought it might help someone get a cheap chipper and I don’t have to deal with the clowns on eBay! All the best ?

Leeds is fine mate! I'm busy for the next couple of weeks but will definitely sort something out after that. I will pm you my phone number. Thanks for reply!

No one?? Its free advertising!

No not yet as it's just a hobby and I'm not charging anyone for the footage so it's not needed

Hi all, Im currently toying with the idea of setting up an aerial photography business and one side of it will be short advertising videos for businesses. So if anyone in Derbyshire/Staffordshire is doing a decent take down soon and wouldnt mind me filming it with my drone I'll do them a free youtube video with the footage! I'll bring all my own PPE and won't get in the way. I mainly want to film big sections coming down in one go from above the tree so if you can sort it out let me know. Cheers

I've been thinking off ideas lately to set up a business on the side to run alongside my main job and after finally getting the unladen weight of the Iveco with a hiab (3.1 tonne lol) and writing that idea off I'm thinking of doing the relevent courses, get my self a nice truck and chipper combo and advertise that service to tree surgeon's, gardeners etc. I've got around 15k to set up with and I've already got chainsaws,ppe,lowering tackle, tirfor etc so could get a nice truck and chipper for that and I think offering just a "drag and chip" service would take off as no one does it round here and I know 5 lads that would use me regular as they are always hiring one off a farmer but he charges £100 a day plus you have to collect it and drop it off with a full tank of red! My questions are..... 1...what tickets would I need to work with anyone on site 2...how much a day would you be charging And 3...what chipper would you recommend? Id like a tw280 but realistically the tw150 on track's will be more affordable but is there any better options?? Any thoughts welcome, atb

Cheers josh that's what I thought! I'm looking to set up a small business in waste removal and for soil, hardcore etc a small grab would be perfect but all the ones I see are just to heavy! I dont need it to lift a tonne just a couple if wheelbarrow's full each grab would be plenty so surely there must be something out there that's not far to over matched for the truck!??

Yes would help if I said daily lol are they that bad??

Anyone know what they weigh empty?? Been looking at buying one with a full alloy back but the guy says he doesn't know the weight of it empty even tho he has done scrap in it for last for years lol think I know why he don't want to tell me tbh!

Thank you martyn

Was browsing ebay couple of weeks back and a tirfor tu16 was on with a steel drum attached to it for the rope and after a couple of bids I won it for £82! My mate asked me the difference between the two when they both lift the same weight and I honestly couldn't think what it is! Anyone know?? Here's the winch, it's great having the drum on it to keep it all the excess wire nice and tidy and its alot easier to store and get out when needed!

Thanks all. It was the easiest job ever lol mine does have the handle exposed so just tapped old one out and new one straight in
