  1. you don't need the full hp of a 50-70hp tractor if you look at their videos they run at sub 1500 rpm engine. its more rotational mass/grunt than ballsie hp that is need.

    alpine tractor mite be a bit too low to carry tr110 branch logger.

  2. just a quick ask to find out about cordage size/diameter.

    weather it be buy in by the lorry load or your own cutting.

    wondering what diameter biggest, smallest and most common or average.

    what size are we getting to turn in to firewood?

    cheers needenginerunnin

  3. what steve said and you may find yourself paying out more on and for a

    '85-100hp favouring kubota'

    than a jd or mf, if you have more than light loader work go 4wd for a stronger front axle.

    you can get telehandlers with 3 point linkage etc but there aren't cheap.

    depends a lot on how deep your pockets are and length of arms:biggrin:

  4. This is the bit I dont understand, in the exemption 8.3 it says rebated fuel can be used in a tractor for the use of agriculture forestry and horticulture. Does horticulture not cover domestic trees,plants and general greenery ? the definition of Horticulture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horticulture

     

    Check out 8.20 and 8.3

    Am I missing something ?

    you have answered your own question really, its the domestic bit.

    horticulture is growing for profit.

    domestic and cricket/football gounds grass cutting etc are white diesel only.

  5. You'll have to register it as commercial mate. Tree Surgery and forestry are NOT part of agricultural. You'll need an o licence to drive it etc etc same as you've listed above. People think it's a grey area but it's actually very Black and White.

     

    forestry is agriculture

    but domestic tree surgery isn't. with regards to red diesel

  6. Don't bother with second hand electric unless you have good provenance for the batteries and charger.

     

    +1 for that

    only really a few things to help you get the right forklift.

    lift capacity/height. heaviest thing your needing to lift

    terrain. concrete, gravel stone or mud

    exhaust emissions. indoors change of air or outside

    how new/hours depends on ££££'s to spend
