You can only cart your own goods, not someone else's

You can buy extended splitters.

Phone Jim at Riko.

I have a Balfour splitter that does just over 4 foot (if memory serves me right)

Hi-ab tipper

Funnily enough I know just the person:thumbup:

 

How often does it have to be checked over though

Depends on the mileage.

A mate has a 7.5 tonner, low mileage, and it gets checked over every 12 weeks by a mechanic.

He started off on a 6 weekly check, but wrote to VOSA saying his mileage did not justify every 6 weeks, so they changed it to 12.

Operators licence, job for the office

Tacho, you print it off everyday and get the office to keep them in order etc.

Job done

Go for a 5ish tone baby, Nissan Cabstar or Isuzu Grafter type vehicle.

Small and agile, but big payload.

A bit more "paperwork" involved in running one, but iam sure you can delegate that job to someone else.

What's the job? And where?

We are later this year bringing in a 2680 with chipping head, would you be interested in looking at that?

Oh yes

1680 chipping spruce tops

Heaping up wood chip

Animal sanctuary for gate entrances, in the field shelters, path networks etc?

The fine was only £350 could have been a lot more... the trees were roadside and we don't have a chipbox on the mog. The owner does honestly as do i believe he has done no wrong.

 

I wasn't asking other owners to say yes I am using red when I shouldn't I am just curios who believes they are legal when they might not be.

The irony of it is that the two gents were looking for a farm when they saw us and decided to have a closer look but both of them didn't know the law on this vehicle.

Exactly.

If they the "professionals" in this field dont know the law, how do we have any chance?

Going through a big jenz 80mm screen

The brash will fly through at 80mm.

Been chipping spruce tops going through a 3 inch diamond screen, and I struggle to keep up.

had a friends 22 tonne machine in this week windrowing the brash up ready to be chipped for biomass. fantastic, a little machine wouldnt have coped.

What chipper you using for that?

I looked at P system when I bought my machine but at the time there was no UK support so went with Comafer "supported by Scott Sargent". biggest commercial mistake I have ever made and would not touch either company with a barge pole.

I second that.

Scott and Sargent are bad news.

Comafer are bad new.

Packfix?

Wrapping the steel drum in net on pallets?

There was a write up in the Forestry Journal a few months back, and the company had an excavator based skyline.

If i find it, i will send you the name

CAN YOU DO SPLIT DELIVERIES?? IE DROP A CRATE OFF TO ALL MY CUSTOMERS COLLECT CASH AND WE CAN SPLIT THE PFOFFIT?

Hahahaha.

rubber tracks do come off if your not careful on rough ground, the trick is to try and catch them before they come fully off- if they're just popping off in a skip then they probably not tensioned enough, I find as soon as I hear that popping/grinding noise I know the track is working its way off and sometimes I can pick the track of the floor and reverse it back on- which saves the grease gun!

It's the toes on the stumps that makes the track fold, and the pop off.

Been digging the stumps out, and just tracking up the middle of the site.

Would track guards stop this happening?

Nice looking chipper how big will it take.

She'll take 24 inches

Chipping Spruce Tops

looking good, you know if you ever get fed up with the dumper who to call!

 

no regrets on digger here Eddie, the grab caught some folks eye a few weeks back and she is now working removing a large area of timber decking!

Are you on steel tracks Stephen?

I was chipping spruce tops on a wind blow job.

Track came off twice in 15 minutes.

I just have rubber tracks, no guards, don't usually venture into the woods.
