Anyway it won't affect the firewood value.
-
Agreed, never washed a rope.

You'll still have to take another trip to take the chipper to the job. A decent tipping trailer costs as much as a 3.5 tonne truck. This thread has got me thinking about a tipping trailer. Still be able to carry a tractor/grinder but can keep chipping when the transit is off tipping.

Sometimes on a job with trailer, tractor chipper et al and limited towing on certain vehicles, it can be the old Chicken, Fox, Bag of Grain conundrum.
-
Yeah, I should trade in my Ifor for a tipper trailer, yours looks handy. 18 months ago when I bought my new(er) tranny I took my old 98 one in for a CT just out of interest. Blow me down if it didn't pass! So that was the second tipper covered for a bit That runs out in December. We'll see then.

Its not about cheapness, it's about MAKING more money. Getting the job done quicker, more efficiently, getting it done in a day rather than two. On to the next one.

Jack Russells! we had one, killed anything it could, cats, rabbits, rats, pheasants, one of my beloved ferrets. Then leave them dismembered on the front lawn. Great dog though.
-
My advice is, as usual, get a cheap 3.5tonner to run alongside the ranger.
-
How would you compare it to your 200?
-
Then good just became better:lol:

Thanks for the update, I have 2 x 201s, an early gutless one that I paid for the upgrade on and a later "good" one. I alternate them on a daily basis. Apart from having to upgrade the first one I have not had a single issue with either of them.

I just used dark wood stain. About 6 coats of it.
-
Yes, he pushed it up as part of the deal involving taking the hay off the field. Now he has the hay he didn't really care!
-
Someone should do one of those polls. How many go out every day with a rescue climber?
-
Of course. Makes sense now.
-
Nice pics all. GG 120 ft? Are you George Bernard about that? Maybe someone cut your rope and didn't tell you:001_smile:
-
Had it pushed up by a manitou the other day, then brought back 6 more loads of pop and pine. It's not getting any smaller!
-
Correct, the brown bit on the inside of the spruce will not regrow, at least not for a long time.
-
Just knock the top out, so it won't reach the house.
-
Ted has been on here for years, he's a poor debater I'll give you that, but where did he actually voice his dislike of Brits? I don't want an easy lift harness, but if I did I wouldn't give two hoots if he had disagreed with someone on an Internet forum.
-
Greengui is pretty much right. Just be careful about insurance, both public liability and personal.
-
One things for sure, I'd find it hard to move back and compete with all the young bucks back home. Competition back there (at least where I come from in the Horsham area) seems tougher and tougher. Chip trucks and chippers everywhere.
-
Yes, especially as a sycamore like that could (and perhaps should) be regularly trimmed. By someone who knows what they're doing of course.
-
Ummm, yes, I'm not defending the neighbors actions in any real way, just saying it seems like a big tree to have right on the boundary of a pocket handkerchief garden.
-
It picked up a bit! And what can you add considering you're a drainage engineer.
