What winter tyres are best for a Navara NP300?

My defender 130 tipper has a JE Motors stage 2 engine tune, rear air suspension.... -

The problem with the automatic 4wd o the Navarra is that when it goes wrong, it’s very expensive. A friends’ 2016 Navarra locked into 4wd and he was unable to get it back into 2wd, resulting it being recovered on back of an AA lorry! At least a defender is a mechanical permanent 4wd system, and if it breaks, you can still lock the centre diff and drive it. -

Problem with all Japanese 4x4/ford rangers is selectable 4x4, light tear ends and leaf springs.... -
I may still go down the route of a small firewood kiln linked to my retort. That way, I’m making 2 products without burning wood to dry wood, as the firewood kiln would use the excess heat generated during a Burn.

Like I said it’s a work in progress. Yes - it’s a Pressvess retort. The only single barrel one at present. My business is 7 days a week, 350 days a year. I’ve successfully lowered m/c already so that the timber could be cooked for charcoal with a pre-burn. Most of my firewood is dried undercover in mesh stillage cages, I just want to see what’s possible with the retort....

Hi Woodworks, The idea is to take the temp up to about 200 degrees then shut it down. It’s a work in process helped by suggestions from the retort’s designer

There are days when I wish my Antonio Carrara had a cab and was slightly bigger (I’m 6’4”). Tried a Reform Mounty recently and it ticks lots of boxes...

Steady sales and now looking at using my charcoal retort to dry timber....

Had a day out trip to the wizards at JE Motors, Coventry today....

Technically it’s on the floor, but it’s been out of action for a couple of days...

Firewood & woodfuel pellets sales have increased this year, helped my Grown in Britain, Wood Sure Accreditations, have also been accredited under the HETAS Ready 2 Burn scheme, which is seeing more sales to London homeowners.

McConnel Robocut - Forestry/Arb Applications
HertsWood replied to Dave Alviti's topic in Large equipment
I looked at the rob it when it first appeared. Went for the competition that’s been around longer and does a better job (in my opinion). -
It is unfortunately. A$130k (€75K) but what a beast! 3x diff locks, 5 speed auto, near 4 ton payload, massive towing ability and more ground clearance than a defender...as standard.

I like the look of one of these....

If I win the lottery, I’m definitely having these on my Defender130..... Tibus Bolt-on Portal Hubs

I think this might be the successor to the mighty Land Rover Defender 130 tipper....

That’s what I like about my Pressvess single barrel retort, it’s so quick to load and light that I can do a Burn from cold in a day, grade the day after, bag it and have it advertised on my shopify store in less than 2 days
-
Agreed. I did an ipaf course at Smart Platforms in Hemel. 1x day, £250 and a qualification valid for 5 years. It’s a no brainer.

From somewhere where forests are still clear felled, no Grown in Britain or fsc

what logs have you been chopping today!
HertsWood replied to william petts's topic in Firewood forum
A little bit of oak.... -
I take it’s cheap imported charcoal from Rainforests in SE Asia

Smart platforms at Hemel Hempstead Offer MEWP courses. But also offer them at all their depots

I’ve got an reversible alpine and 1.3m Caroni flail if you get stuck and travel across uk.

My 130 is about to have the Foley cab extension for a little extra room without loosing too much loadspace. I've got air springs on the rear and it's got blue poly bushes all round. Sitting on its winter/woodland tyres now - BFG MT K2's and the steering is ok. The ride is good, the payload massive and it never gets upset when rowing a heavy trailer.
