Just what is needed here, I'll drive!

I wonder how long you could stand operating that thing.

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

oh yes love hill work, used to do a fair bit of it in wellington probably 90% of our work.

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.

Ooooooooh. Diggers!
If any KB'ers have a wee digger & a couple of days too spare I will reward them with as much beer,BBQ & trail riding as they can stomach for beating my new section into submission.
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.
