Chaps, I bought into a CS100 chipper and its very, very good at what it does. Its not a road tow, at the moment, trailers going to cost me 1k+ to sit it in. That's not my whole problem. If I want to match this set up to a truck then what would you do? Current options are a 110 hicap with a purpose built back and a winch to get the chipper in, with an ifor 8x5 for chip/logs, or 2, a 55 plate tranny crew cab tipper. My work is domestic at present, only been going 5 minutes. Does not having a 4x4 trailer combo reduce your flexibility? Many thanks:001_smile:

cheers Scraggs

Chaps, something came up in conversation today whilst trying to find my first tipper. There is a 110 that's having it chassis classification changed to 3500kg from 3000 whilst being overhauled. I didn't know that this could be done. Has anyone known of this in the past and will it effect ins. policies? thanks

Please let me know too, as I'd like to know more about the details. Will wait to hear from you. Let me know All the best Nathan

Hi Dorset, if you ring Adam at farm and forestry ltd near coleshill-atherstone in Warwickshire and say that Nathan Robinson gave you his name, he is one of the good guys. If you google his details and give him a bell he is sure to have his neck up to his a*** in a hedge somewhere.... All the best

Arbtalk Annual Charity Raffle and Prize List

<p>Hi Peter,</p>
<p>I hope your ready for chrimbo...</p>
<p>Would you be able to give me a ring when your next at work please. I have possibly found a Ford Ranger to start up with, with the addition of one of your high sided folding lockable tippers, with a head board. I really don't want to furnish myself with mega finance to begin with so I wanted to start off with a modest truck. I would like to know a couple of bits of info before making contact with the seller.</p>
<p>a, Is the tipper, as a whole, transferable between makes? EG, can I go from an old style05plate doublecab Ranger to a newer version in the future or indeed to a different vehicle, like your new shape navara double cab?</p>
<p>b, I phoned you a while ago to get some costings and you told me that the folding lockable tipper was £2750+VAT. Would you confirm what the costing is please.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many Thanks </p>
<p>Merry Christmas</p>

Hi Shavey, thanks for the info, there's so much good news about the 550 and 560xp, from guys on here and my local shop, however, I cant help thinking that I might be missing something buying into stihl and husky, as they appear to be the norm, the standard if you like, dolmar & jonsered seem to have been around for donkeys too but which ones and parts... can I pick them up quick?
-
Ive a husky 576xpg, and its fab. Ive a ms261vw and its on its last life... Ive started looking into Jonsered and Dolmars in the area of 50cc+ to husky 390 territory. Dolmars seem to spin higher than huskys, or am I mistaken? I like the new flat bar look of them too on the cover side but am unsure if this is style over substance? What do you think?
-
:001_smile:I would have done this last night but I went and wiped the sd card with all the latest pics... anyway heres proof!
-
will check it out thanks, im dropping my chip long term at a farm so the 4x4 will be a must, thanks again
-
which one would be the best to use in terms of tools in and out chip waste weights, day to day running. I am pulling a cs100 and would do small to medium jobs with this set up. Bigger jobs are catered for with others kit. what do you think please

Hi, its a mature sequoia with a diameter of 1.27-1.37m from memory. Ive ash coming up to but only small diameter, approx. 6" but straight, approx. 12ft lengths if this helps. I could do with a source to sell all wood to really, even if its fire wood? what do you think?
-
hi does anyone know of a wood merchant who will buy main stem cord as your cutting? Would they be able to take away from sites and pay me for the wood? All the best
-
According to the guys who service my transporter van, they aren't so good with the fuel filters blocking and engines could be problematic...
-
Thanks Mark, does that make the wood brittle? Its approx 35 ft heigh, multi stem leaders from about 5ft. The base at 5ft is approx .75cm to .90cm
