I wonder how long you could stand operating that thing.:wacko: Must be a good base under those tracks too. Would be ok to have a tu tu with though, much rather spend the day on a Menzi Muck.

That is a very nice truck. But wouldn't separate truck and woodchippers make more sense?
The chipper stays at the wood pile and can fill a second or third truck while the first truck is in transit to the chip processing plant.
The tipping arrangement seemed overly complicated and messy as well.

I'd love to operate a menzi for a day or two, although i don't think i could handle much longer, i think id get too annoyed :sweatdrop:

Make more sense to have truck with chipper and log crane mounted , using it to load truck and trailer chip liner with normal tipping decks. Those side tippers don't make sense, especially the trailer . be heavy tare weight.

Hmmmm, any takers? I'm black belt, second Dan on the oil drum barbie & keep a mean fridge.......

We have bought an old house on an acre. The gardens have not been touched in over 30 years so I have to dig up bamboo, scrape away wandering dew, shape a large retaining wall, haul a lot of old trees out of waist high kaikoua, dig an huge hole for the rubbish, dig up some drains, oh, and build some sections for a trials bike amongst other things. A shovel & scrub bar just ain't doing it.

Make sure you have ALL the saftey gear on then, especially the eyes and legs and feet. I cut through my leg just above the knee when I was seventeen, all the way to the bone, and it fucken hurt.:yes: Make sure your saw stays sharp too, most accidents happen when things get blunt and you try putting more weight on the saw to compensate, which can put you off balance . Good luck.:2thumbsup
Think about hiring out a positrac or similar, easy to use and heaps of different working heads to choose from, they are great fun with a scrub mulching head on them.:Punk:

If I get chaps does that mean I have to get a Harley too?:scooter:
I've had a couple of mates who use chainsaws almost daily take me through the do's & dont's. So far so good. I'm not felling big trees.
Keep whistling "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok.." for some reason, though..
