    Oh right I see 5.2 tons would be the way to go. Think I'll be better with cs100 on my ifor eurolight 2000kg flatbed. I'll just make up some sides. Cheers

    Hook loader

    ostosix posted a topic in Arb-Trucks

    Hi there, Does anybody use the skip type roll on/roll off loaders on a transit base? Thinking about using my mates with a my tow behind braked chipper rather than getting a cs100 for my trailer. Just doing small takedowns or pruning limbs and keeping timber above 3 inch for my own firewood. Any thoughts appreciated

    Yep as always, basic maintenance first then if it raises any doubts go a stage deeper.

    its probably just milky where its met the water. Drain resevoir down and clean out. It'll flush through when you add fresh. Change filter also. Other than that you'd have to disconnect at the actuators, let it out and then just carefully bleed it afterwards. Unless its milky through out i just do the reservoir bit.

    Hi, How long does pop take to dry to firewood if split? Not used it before. And what size trailer? regards Mikey

    some shooting apps have good clinos on them. Measure then move until 45 degrees then pace in to the trunk. Should be same as height... I think.

    Just to follow up, they didn't have those wheels in stock. They contacted me and said they do have a foam filled, steel wheel WITH ROLLER BEARING! Even better so went for that. I'd only seen those from the states before.

    These dont look bad for 25mm with roller bearings, they're hard to find. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Two-16-4-80-400-8-puncture-proof-flat-free-roller-bearing-wheelbarrow-launch/321845629494?hash=item4aef7e9236:g:qOMAAOSwDNdV3xI~

    I saw cyclone winches and they are pretty reasonable for 1000kg pull. In a frame for protection. Honda engines.

    Yes they look smart and really professional with the right end caps etc. Surprised theres not a few more places sell that stuff.

    how much it cost roughly per plank? Do they weigh much? I have 2.5 x 1.5m flatbed i would like to have a go at.

    sounds decent, I been looking at the deben and similar in germany. i see the atlas tippers have the same 3 way.
  15. ostosix
    how often do you use the 3 way tip? Whats it like fully loaded?
  16. ostosix
    Enjoyed reading this get it going again:-)

    My mate buys trailers from germany as his other halfs family are over there. Think you need to get insurance, registration and stuff, but still works out very cheap. its just may not be quite as simple as walking out with it. But the ferry is not much more so may as well bring two back i'd say That flat bed with winch looks ace.

    I cut a large oak tree down in April and it was split by May, so i've a garden over loaded with timber, but dont think it'll be dried for this winter. Was hoping to speed things along. When I've had my burner on, i've noticed when the temp goes up to say 25 degC humidity drops to 50% (on my geeky little meter), where as its normally 85%. So heat does obviously dry wood, but is it the drop in humidity that helps it along? My main plan is to eventually have a large poly tunnel which will have closed doors with fans and dehumidifer. I'll have it all switch on timed between 11 and 4 when solar is good and high temps in the tunnel. If I could speed upthe process into shorter than a summer with out continuous running cost i'd say it'll be worth the effort. Starting to get enough wood to flog some now but storage space is tight and limits things a bit. Cheers
