If you could live with the existing floor and tipping gear, ally plank is pretty straightforward to work with. I've done a couple of trucks in plank now, they look pretty smart and only need bolts and rivets.

Complete new body or strip to flat and new sides?

Yes and yes. 18 tonne gross, 9 tonne unladen.

It is an older engine. Wet air filter, old style oil filter, no coolant header tank. No electronics either.

All major roads have to be able to take at least 44 tonne artics, there are some weak bridges, and some restrictions in suburban areas but I can get my rig pretty much anywhere.

I didn't answer the first part of your post earlier, not offended in any way but somewhat staggered by just how much of a downer you have on the UK. The forestry and arb industry contribute £2.1 billion to annual gdp. I need a tiny fraction of that to keep my tiny business going. Sure there's...

I forget the specs on the turntable, but they are tremendously strong. It's designed for the steering axle of a turntable trailer.

I may have dipped his toes. ;)

Tool of choice :lol:

To the side. Got some pics somewhere.

Took it to work before it was quite finished Here I'm using it to position a climber over a pond

Then a couple of years ago I decided to put a tipping chip box on. Cannibalised an old three way tipping body Built a nice new tipping body

Oh go on then! It came to me from a builder's merchant, with a 6 metre flat body. Booked it into Ed's Engineering Shop and got the hot spanners out. Got the old body off with the aid of a 13 tonne excavator. Sawed it in half and welded it back together 2 metres shorter Cut the old...

About 1800kg. 4000# for our metrically challenged friends.

Thanks, it will be super smart when it's all finished. I'm going to build a complete engine housing in aluminium, and possibly respray the chipper black.

Little vid clip.

Yup. Turntable gives me 7 positions to run the chipper in, if i spin it round so the hopper faces the right way I can easily feed it with the crane.

Chip to one side of the king post. The chip goes under the cross bar, although I might fab up a taller spout so I can throw the chips over the top.

Good question! Mounted the milling machine on a rolling carriage if I remember correctly, it was a bit of a fiddle!

Here she is behind my chip/log truck In the transport position. New aluminium chequer belt/tank cover folded and TIG welded. Aerial view off the top of my crane. Few bits to do yet, but at least she's out earning money!
