OK mate I'll look into it. 

 

How about something like this to get me by for a couple of years until I updgrade my little car to a 4x4 and perhaps take someone on who can drive the 4x4 and chipper in. Don't need B&E to tow as long as chipper is below 750kg.

Yeah I know... Hyundai etc etc but I do have a Hyundai post hole borer and 4000psi jetwasher and both have stood up to a lot of s***.

 

Just looking for something for the small bits 4 inches and below to begin with. 

that chipper will be toss you need a 6 inch chipper minimum if you can't afford the kit to do a decent job maybe go work for someone to save funds up to set it up properly?.

Wants £40 a load, it probably 20 min drive to the yard. Not worth it...

hes joking right haha so he wants you to use your fuel your vehicle your time to load to give him £40 for a job hes already been paid for taking down tree tell him to f. id say £40-50 a full transit tipper load is fair not worth it if collecting then paying 

Hello,

looking for a large amount of split preferrably or unsplit seasoned hard wood im based in derbyshire will need delivering 

Anyone have any good suggestions on a mobile splitter thats not connected to a tractors, digger or skid steer that goes up and down quick ones ive used in the past have been rather slow going back up. 

thanks

Anyone running any mewp courses soon need mewp general ticket and chainsaw in a mewp basket both need to be city guilds.

Larks foot a cut away strap on to the eye of the snap lock biner then pass it through the attachment on the zillon and just loop it over the snap hook again.

If the cut away is too small you can get a small sewn sling to do the job instead

was considering the sewn sling

i certain arb provider try to sell me this for it £60 nearly jesus the swivel opens with an allen key

wish i could afford one to be honest every time i see the big 12footers come up there around £2800 i only paid £1000 for my trailer so not worth it

Any ideas on what size stroke?

I do not know why.

The only reason I can think of is they use to burn green wood and it burn slowly with lots of effort.

They said mine burn easy and hot.

Probably feel there being cheated as it's not lasting as long I guess?

Gritting? Wasn't so good last year but if it's a cold one it'll be busy.

yeah think the same again this year i bet sucks

im wanting to convert my trailer to a tipper however I've no idea how you work out where to mount the ram is there some maths as to where to put it also what is the best type of ram to use and what sort of size stroke do you think i will need thanks mitch

something like this?

 

Hydraulic 3 way steel diverter valve, DF3VIE 1/2" AP ACC | Diverter/Ball Valves | Hydraulic Valves

yep however you gonna have to run the truck otherwise you will kill the battery off.

anyone got any decent amounts of arb waste hardwood round the east midlands or south yorkshire they don't want can sort haulage if you can't

i'll see what the local 4x4 breakers have. Just a curiosa but is it possible to get some sort of valve that allows you to run two rams separately off the one pump? Just asking as I might build my own towable hydraulic log splitter some day and was wondering if I plumbed in a hydraulic hose running from the tipping gear to the back of the L200, I could then connect up the splitter and run it off the pickup?

yes just put a valve in that you can manually open and close interesting idea

sales going good.

got a call yesterday from someone who had a load of hardwood last week saying that my logs are too dry. and could they have some wet ones.

he then told me he always burn green wood, because that is all he could get.

wtf haha to dry why ?

i bought a hydraulic splitter with a power pack petrol and i couldn't find the demand to be honest

Log Goblins exist because they soon realise that after paying a fortune to have the Stove fitted and the chimney flue lined they soon realise that buying logs wood is a expensive way of Heating regardless after what car they drive . Most folk are obsessed with the cutting of the wood and back to basics lol .

I did a job many years ago and I had a bulk bag of dead torpedo size logs left over after finishing and I would have to return to pick them up, the next door neighbour asked if she could have them and I said yes £25 for me time cutting them up, I ended up down to a Fiver and still she refused to pay knowing that I had to come back !! That bag of logs I winched up to the top of my LDV tipper determined not to let her have them lol

 

Ste

i would of to £5 jesus some people take the piss really i would never give logs away unless i like the person haha i gave about 5 rings about 4 inch thick 24 inch diameter and some decent size logged branches maybe fill half a ton bag and i took away the seasoned conifer he had for free dropping a ton bag of seasoned logs off ton him tomorrow
