  1. The problem lies (along with many things in this country) in my opinion with towns folk being so far removed from where and how there food is produced, if every poncey twat had to get involved with the production of their own food they may have a bit more understanding of the countryside and the fact those that live and work in rural areas help to keep a balance. We don’t just go out to kill all foxes or any other animal. More damage is done with people interfering with this process. The Law of unintended consequences. By not controlling the numbers of a Predetor you reduce the numbers of its food and then the whole food chain and local eco system becomes dysfunctional losing larger numbers of wild life.
  2. Otter box is the way forward. I dropped a I phone out of a mewp about 40ft on to concrete. Groundy collected it and it was fine. They ain’t cheap as cases go but worth the money. I’ve got the defender series one
  3. I’ve seen worse, normally mine! @difflock show us more of the mbtrac, I drove one just after finishing college, quite possibly one of the best tractors of there time.
  4. @trigger_andy Leslie is missing you
  5. So what’s the answer? Don’t leave us in suspenders @Billhook
  6. 90 - 100kg for the slab
  7. The prop would be in he way on most 4x4 single cabs to get between the cab and rear axle unfortunately
  8. A true case of it looked good on paper! The concept is good if you could lose the height I reckon it could have legs. I think the only way would be to use a front wheel drive truck and bend the chassis down and round under the chipper, possibly between the rear trailing arms. But this would bring you into SVA regs and possibly a whole load of ball ache
  9. The best saw is the one with the best local dealer
  10. Find a good crew to get some experience with, a poor crew will hold you back both in quality of work and earning potential as your only as good as your learnin good luck.
  11. That’s cool. Would take pride of plaice on any table!
  12. I reckon the infeed height would do your back in if it was on a defender, on a lower truck would be better. you would have a better legal payload with a 3.5t trailer than any 3.5t truck 👍
  13. I paddle my own canoe but if I was employed and my boss came up with a twat of an idea like that to compare people he would be told his fortune, it wouldn’t be watered down just black and white.
  14. The turntable idea is a good one, you could be onto something there🤔👍 Ive no interest in offering a chipping service tho, the thought of badly stacked brash full of soil, stones, fence posts with nails, pallets, bags of dog eggs etc just makes me cringe! We have all seen the piles of crap that you know your going to be asked “can you just stick that through your machine?”
  15. I thought it looked it was built for a particular purpose, good idea but I don’t think it’s a commercially viable concept in he open market, the world and his wife have brown bins now
  16. Wood Chipper Greenmech WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Wood Chipper Greenmech at the best online prices at eBay! Free delivery for many products! unusal set up, can’t see it being useful myself but as a service to home owners it could work. I wonder if it’s a proper build or a home brew bodge job 🤔 @Pete B this a factory job?
  17. All sold and gone.
  18. That’s really cool. Nicely done 😎
  19. Have you checked you haven’t got a siezed brake cable to one (or more wheels) I had one (work supplied not owned) seize once, the return springs didn’t have enough strength to piull the gummed up cable back to allow the brake off.
  20. Where abouts are you? does the mn26 mean its max is a 26 inch log? how long is it current track? Most importantly how much £ (at least fart and give us a clue as I cba with pissing about)
  21. As above, if your south (ish) I could be interested.
  22. It will be seasoning out side, it will season a lot quicker in smaller bits, the sooner you smash it apart the sooner it will dry.
  23. Provisionally sold.
  24. Not sure, think most are rated about the same as a karabiner. Cba to go and check the label to be honest, will look tomorrow if I remember.
  25. He point of the clip is it breaks if the saw get stuck In a step cut etc so you lose your saw but you stay in the tree. I can’t say I’ve had that happen but I guess it’s possible.
