Fb work page works well for us. Takes a surprising amount of time and effort to keep it interesting and to get the right people to see your posts but in my opinion it's worth it. Great reference point to show clients recent works, has created some good enquiries and can be used well to find staff etc. Not quite as important as website/google ranking but still useful imo

We have a loader on our alpine, been spot on. Really good tool. I think the issue is only if you put one on a artic steer alpine, makes them unstable

We've a compact alpine tractor with loader and grab. We tried a small Jensen pto chipper on it, it was useless just soooo slow. I'd be sure you are happy with performance of set up before buying one

We've got a 16ft tri axle ifor we use to move plant. Our alpine tractor puts it on its limit and combination of chipper and grinder is probably a bit over. The trailer can cope with it no bother in my opinion. If we tow it with the mog it's fine. If we tow it with 3.5t truck or 4x4 pickup I really don't recommend it, snakes easily and really isn't great as the weight is so high up. A double axle would poss be worse?

Thanks gray git, I was going to look at options at Riko

Thank u, is the rsl the one u have gone for?

Hi guys, can anyone recommend a little timber grab and rotator for a little 1.7t digger please. Cheers

Just read posts properly, advise above is spot on, if we can get our big bandit onto the stumps they will disappear pretty quick :-)

We are close to exeter and happily quote for your stumps if you wish to go down that route. Please see Stump grinding Devon or Hartwood treeworks. Or you can hire a fairly handy pedestrian grinder from c plant services, just up the a30 from exeter 01404 850357 :-)

We've had a few bcs/pesquali tractors 46hp and 56hp, generally very capable and reliable machines

We build this to grab brash/timber on our alpine. It's on our loader but I've thought about building another to go on three point linkage, think it would work well with hydraulic top link to tilt/tip

Erith commercials, think they are in Kent. They have been very good for perfect condition second hand parts, mail order. New parts I think you are stuck with your local Mercedes truck dealer
