Cummins with G56 Manual box 05 ram is 5.9 cummins. 330bhp and 610lb/ft pull the house down

Dodge Ram 2500 with a cummins diesel.

Done it with a big Beech take down. Why rig 2-300kg lumps down to the deck. To then cut down to 90ish. To then have to lift into the back/trailer. To then have more mess to clear up.??? The Beech was rigged down under control. makes no sense.

No point if it's not within arms reach in cab.... hang on mister robber. Give me a second to get a pitch fork out.
-
Was it a lone crew meme er or whole team held up.?? might start carrying a little surprise...
-
Fronts do more of the work as they steer and carry most of weight due to cab/engine up front. Wear shoujd be even across the tyre.

Charging a customer for services/parts not fitted/ rendered is classed as fraud: Obtaining money goods or services by deception/misrepresentation

Nail and head. Wouldn't want a log bouncing off my windscreen after bouncing out the top of the bag
-
They rated at 3.5T???
-
Air down the tyres to spread footprint. Use compressor to pump back up for road use
-
I'd say extra tickets like plant/heavy machinery. It's a nice backup for when your body has had enough as I imagine the physical demands of the Army take their tole.
-
Brown envelopes and back handlers mate.
-
Is there any benefit in having plant tickets? If so where is the best place in Surrey for 360 bucket /telehandler courses. cheers.
-
280 can do 6.5T per hour. All depends on your needs. Private domestic is great but not if you are more into forestry or Clearence work
-
230 timberwolf or 280. Will meet most of your requirements I would of thought
-
Cool setup. Who cares if it's a bit Mcgyver. If it works it works. My issue seems at the minute is having enough ARB waste at the right time. Could have 3 take-downs in a week and nothing for 4months... it's also a sideline for me out of being on a crew. I'd like to expand and offer other potential clients but I don't feel I can meet demands at mo.

Isuzu F series are worth looking at as well. They also make a AWDversion as well do harder to reach places
-
While warmth is desirable for drying logs. Lots of air flow to wick moisture away is more important. Stack it on pallets for best results.

The 2018 has a locking rear diff. Make sure the one you buy has one fitted. Also you want a low range transfer case. The locking rear diff gives better traction in mud/snow/rocky conditions. Low range give you better gearing and control for off road purposes and steep slippery hills.
-
If you intend to go off road with itMake sure it's got the factory Limited slip in the rear and that it works. Or better buy a ARB locker. Not cheap... but neither is off road recovery. Have you considered a petrol engined vehicle? may drink more but less complex to fix.

Is there any money is council contracts? Or is it a race to the bottom of who can do it cheapest???
-
A fell and partial reduction in 3 cuts.... somebody is heading for a bollocking...
-
Yes!!! While I don't mind hard graft.... I've got better things to do then spent 2hrs a night splitting stacking and moving. And then 40mins loading the load by hand for customer. My other issue as other guys have guessed is that it's mainly ARB waste so supply is up and down... can't really say no to a customer as it's a nice little cash in hand side line. Where esle is a good source of free logs?? Dead and fallen trees at road side?
-
Cheers for your help mate. It's mainly ash, oak and Beech. 8-9inch rings I think I'd be best to see what my actual demand is for this year and see what client base I can build first?? Then move to a processor once it's proved to be a viable option. I'd rather buy then rent on a personal choice.

How much are they?? I've no access to a Mog with PTO etc. How good are the hand powered farm jack ones around 10-12T???
