  1. Hi, we are looking for someone to help us on an as and when basis, we are an established friendly, family company in woking, we are looking for someone to help us with some climbing and hedge cutting, we operate on job done and home basis, so we are not looking to work anyone into the ground.

    message me for further information 

    Many thanks

  2. Whole thread on them and others here mate, have a good read through and most of your questions will be answered.
     
    I tried both WorkyQuad and the Sherpa and prefered the Sherpa. Try both and see which you prefer- the concept of either is a huge labour saver and there's bugger all in it price wise (Sherpa have a basic model £2k cheaper)
     
    Gem Plant will be your nearest WorkyQuad dealer. For Sherpa, Compact Loaders UK are who you need to talk to.
     
    If you want to have a play with a Sherpa, PM me- I'm just South of Haslemere and as you will see from the other thread, have a lot of attachments! Only bought it a month ago but it's a game changer, even though I already have a MultiOne 8.4
     
     
     


  3. Time to change my truck. Isuzu Grafter is my preferred choice. Compact footprint, good payload, towing capacity, turning circle main reasons. 3.5t tipper with chip box.
     
    My question is single rear wheel versus double rear wheel. Single wheel makes for more compact truck which appeals for tight access work. It’s also a bit cheaper to buy new. Presumably slightly cheaper running costs.
     
    Anyone with experience of single rear wheel Grafter as a tree truck? How does it drive with full load? Also, towing full 2-3t trailer? What’s traction like on mixed surfaces? I live up a steep 10-15% track with crushed stone surface. Have plenty of customers and tip sites with off road access too.
     
    Any advice re single versus twin wheel much appreciated before I make large investment.
     
    Thanks



    Go for the twin wheel, Ive got one had it new in 2015 brilliant truck
    These trucks pull like trains so don’t worry about steep tracks or off road
