TBF Rob is not a smug bloke, have met him at a few of the shows, I use a few of his bars and find them excellent, chainsaw chains and bars have an infinite variety of durability imo, as everyone has their own sharpening style/preference/chain oil type/level of abuse they submit their kit to. There simply isn't a one size fits all from what I have observed.

I've recently got a Td5, lovely engine, tows great, there are some pictures two pages back. I wasn't too worried about head as they are easy to work on, and parts are cheap. Land Rovers do require more routine maintenance than Jap pickups, however imo are more capable. Also looking at the issues some guys on here are having with new Hiluxes maybe jap reliability is not as good as it was? Will you be up for defender driving position? its an acquired taste
-
At 200k for a TD5 might be worth checking if the cylinder head has been replaced, as sometimes they crack. About the right money for its age if its reasonably clean, if I could I would. However if you are used to Japanese pickups a Defender may not be for you as they are very different.

A mate had a PTO powered husky on his truck, incredible bit of kit.

I wouldn't be able to advise on that tbh, My 110 had just one hd battery, whilst winching at night with headlights/worklights on the headlights would dim due to increase load, but never had any issues or bonfires in the dashboard. Wire direct to batteries if you can, as earthing the winch on the chassis can throw up a few problems sometimes.

Superwinch is a posh brand, and spends more on marketing. IMHO, thats all there is in it. Superwinch comes with a shinier finish. Winchmax will do synthetic rope, however for dragging trees through mud steel braid is more durable. I contacted Winchmax once to get some parts, (drove over winch remote in the dark) and he said he can sell cheaper as he has less overheads. AFAIK nearly all winches are made in the far east, Winchmax just don't have as many frills on them. My one was used and abused, but never let me down. Essential to fitting any winch to a vehicle is to fit a cut off switch to the power, as they can do strange things if the solenoids get wet.

I had one of these on my last truck, basic but brilliant, I will be buying another when funds allow.
-
346xp....I'd put a tenner on it...as in thats what I'd offer
-

-
is that out of one tree?
-
Yes will be. I have plans of building an oak frame shed/outdoor bbq area this summer so will be milling or getting this and a few other butts I have milled. Whats an Alaskan like for milling beams?
-
Yes Oak. Can't have been far off that.
-
Trailer is a 12'x6' Ifor any approx Ideas of the weight of that stick? I have my own figure in mind.
-
not sure if this belongs here or in the overloaded thread....
-
For Ausa or Antonio Carraro try Kirkland https://kirklanduk.com/ one of my mates used to work there, they're a nice bunch.
-
Thank you for your reply. Good point, I hadn't thought of that.
-
Don't know if I have already posted any of these....
-
good question, the one in the add is on a private plate. Still on the lottery list
-
Yes ok. I have done a bit of research and it seems like left in a damp enviroment the butt should develop some fungi (not sure if thats the correct term) and then its a case of milling it at the right time before it turns into mush. My yard is about 6inches deep in bog this time of year so that should help
-
Whereabouts are you?
-
Tree was healthy, felled to make way for developement.
-
