  1. Agreed, a 6" will make you a lot of money and rarely be embarrassed. We had a job this week pollarding some lines in a courtyard off a back street. Had to push the Tw up an incline into a gate. Then wangle the chip truck in. 10cube of chip, no wood at all left. Perfect!
  2. You seem to work a lot of weekends Ian, which is good of course,but I try to keep Saturday's free for quoting and/or grinding. Any special policy on your part?
  3. Nothing wrong with a transit, a 350 has plenty of poke.
  4. What would you pull it with?
  5. Well I guess my 1505 has never given me a single problem in over 2000 hrs and 12 years, so I'm a fan.
  6. Interesting post, I run a 2003 tw and it has a 4pot v1505 with the detuned 32 hp engine, (I've never really worked out why they did that)
  7. Hold the banks I guess.
  8. It's a weight thing, under 750 kg you don't need a trailer licence or something (I'm pretty old so it doesn't matter to me) Moving a bigger chipper by hand can be a PITA. A lot of tree surgeons rarely need to chip anything bigger than 6" You're right though, there are some cracking second hand deals on bigger chippers Atm
  9. What's going in there Woody?
  10. Just in case anyone is unsure of its meaning.
  11. Yeah, that show has definitely "jumped the shark"
  12. Brilliant driver, I hope he gets better soon.
  13. Good for Billy. Best of luck to him.
  14. Yeah Eager Beaver gets my vote too.
  15. I'll watch it, wife gets corrie, then it's my turn.
  16. Yep, many times, I carry eyewash in the truck, there's little worse, can't open your eyes, can't shut your eyes. Miserable.
  17. I don't think he's posted in ages. Anyway cheers Mike!
  18. Prussik or blakes 6 of one half a dozen of the other.
  19. I use the ZZ on bigger stuff with a cambium saver. Prussik or Blakes on the smaller stuff. Just my take.
  20. Dean, I believe you're being a bit lazy, we don't want PDFs, we want action pictures.
  21. Ha ha, just read the whole thread through to a really funny finish, thank Biggarlogs!
  22. Pics of the chipper/chip truck body would help.
  23. Good stuff Eddie, thanks
  24. When people put "reluctant sale" on an ad. Is that supposed to convince me it's really great? "oh look at this one, they don't really want to sell it, so it must be good!"
