defender tipper

Yes we had problems and went back to normal lights on our Defender tipper,as i remember it was somthing to do with running the non led repeaters with the new led lights and the green flasher bulb in the instrument panel ....they dont work together... i do belive you can get the parts needed from Paddocks Good luck with that one

Yes been using Tractor and trailer,but yes reckon i will be traveling further for the next batch of cord,

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain things,I will now go ahead and take a good look at the truck and if its worth the money i will buy it, Guess i can tax and insure it to get it home , without loading it should be legal.

Dont Laugh...Its a RB44 with tipper body ULW 3 tonne MGW 5.3 Tonne so not a 7.5 tonne,but still carries a o licence i think,would have to say its kept at our farm,well thats where it will end up anyway.No way round it then even if im not carrying any goods?

Thanks for that all clear now...Dont make things easy for honest working folk do they.

Nice thanks for that..but whats the add in the local paper for?

Hi All, Anyone know if i would need a o licence to use a 7.5T gross tipper? Use would be hauling cord from the woods,around 3 miles round trip,Agri use i.e collecting silage bales feed ect and maybe delivery firewood. If so what would i need to do to get one? The truck is not agri registered just normal road use. Thanks in advance..

Nice looking truck you have there...can you just clear up the o liecence? would i need one if only using for forestry work fetching wood back to our yard ect...not delivering any goods ect.

Well im running off a 82hp Tractor with good pressure and flow rate,so the splitter is flying up and down but a bit low on strenth with the harder stuff,i was just thinking the return valve would maybe make it a bit better as i could set it for the lengh of logs to be split and speed things up a bit,must be somthing out there?

Yes i guess its poss, but do think i could do with a bit more Grunt as well,it will not go through any knotty stuff,and yes a few people have asked have i welded a splitting maul head on the Oxdale does look a starnge head.

Yes Sorry got that the wrong way round....6x 0.6 bags an hour thats about 3m3...And thats the best we have ever done, more like 2m3 and hour

Well there some big old lumps, whole trunks take to much time getting them on there,and would have to be some Processor, chainsaw and split i would have thought.

Not at the moment, mainly Ash/Beech mid sized cord 12" to 20"

Hi All, Can anyone point me in the direction of a good auto return splitter,with or without conveyer? Tractor hydraulics prefered,we really need to increase our out put,we are useing an Oxdale 400 at the mo good little splitter but need to speed our show up. Many Thanks

Anyone had any experiance with these trucks? The reviews say they are Total rubbish ,They do look the part and wood work very well with our tree and firewood works, The one i am looking at is the Perkins Phaser engine....Cheers
