Anyone ever modified a plant trailer to allow them to use the chipper whilst still on the trailer? Or a custom made trailer on little wheels?
-
The front suspension is height adjustable if this might help. I've just replaced the front spring on my 35c15 as it was sat really low on the front. Turns out it was so low as the rubber mounts it sits on were knackered. What is your wheel arch clearance like?

Ok cheers guys think I'll take your advice and stick with the old Jensen for now 👍
-
It is the one pictured Ive been considering. It ended on eBay afew weeks ago and I messaged him to see if it was still available. He says yes, ended on eBay for £2650 he says he'll take £2500..... sounds too good to be true that's why I was wondering if they're shite! I have a Jensen 518 now, it's my first chipper and doing me well so far, was just thinking of trading to something a bit better.
-
As above, what do people think to these chippers, been offered a 2010 190 with 850 hours on for what I think is a very cheap price. But it ain't cheap if they're no good!
-
I've been toying with the idea but the fact that I can't find anyone that's done one makes me think it's a bad idea? Any pics/ advise greatly appreciated

Has nobody ever turned a 80 or 100 series landcruiser into a pickup instead of importing a 70 series??

What's anyone's opinion on a ranger double cab tipper conversion? Been on the lookout for a King cab but they seem to be hard to find.
-
I've got a 57 ranger wildtrak 3.0 and had it remapped, it's better on fuel if you drive steady allthough the temptation to test out all that bhp causes the mpg to drop dramatically! The worst bit about the map is the clutch, it can't handle it, when towing anything more than an empty trailer the clutch likes to slip under heavy acceleration. Hope the new ones have a real clutch and not one made of cheese

It's http://www.tyreleader.co.uk sorry

Try http://www.tyreleader.com I got some hankook dynapros off there for £80 each for my ranger. They're seem pretty good

I worked for electricity north west they have a load of hilux's with these conversions. The first one we got leaked water into the tool box due to bad plastic welding. And they don't tip up far enough to get dense chip out without a bit of jerking. Other than that they're good! The team I was on had one transit tipper an now they've got 3 hilux tippers, I bet they can only carry as much chip on all 3 as on the transit :-)

Ifor every time, loads stronger and more hardwearing that any other trailer

I've seen something simelar to this on eBay Afew times, usually for vans or landrovers. Emailed about one Landrover and the guy wanted me to transfer a deposit to him before I'd seen the vehicle! Ebay's meant to be secure and scam proof but the scammers still manage to list items!?
-
I understand all your gripes about main dealers ect, but, having served my time for Audi and done 6 years as a 'mechanic' I left because I never got the chance to actually fix anything! Just rip a part off chuck a new un on if that doesn't fix it try another part and so on! The reason for this is £££££££ the dealership I worked in charged £100+vat per hour! Therefore if I stopped to spend 5 mins trying to diagnose something if get a bollocking and told to hurry up! So it's not all the mechanics fault they are under daft pressure sometimes

I was looking for a t5 transporter for ages to convert into a camper, ended up getting a mwb vw lt with the same 5cyl engine as the transporter, was a brilliant van, sat at 80 on the mway towing my car trailer no bother! And loads cheaper to buy than a transporter because less desirable I suppose. Don't get a merc they rust for fun an arnt as good mpg

A domestic guy shouldn't really be doing a job next to a power line anyway. Why not just ring the network operator and get them to do it?
