Alopa nice setup how come you went for the low front high back set up on the tipper is that a design that works well? we always go for the opposite way round. just wondering

Drouin Tree Service · 8th December 2008, 10:57 PM

Mainly to push thru overgrown driveways without trashing other trees,the top is tapered in as well.

Personal preference!!

Garry Brockley · 8th December 2008, 11:08 PM

Quite happy with how its come along,The young guy i got to build it had just been laid off from his job subbying building semi trailers so it was good to give him the work and he's very motivated which i like to see (not many young guys like it IMHO)He did the whole lot and from start to finish and his price was ALOT cheaper than it would have cost.I brought the steel/ hydraulics/paint.

Ive given him free rent in my shed till febuary to get him going so if any of you need a body/fabrication/tool lockers built give him a go im not one to recomend people but he's a goer

Rob can be contacted on 0438526740 C'mon guys give him a go!!!

JohN Dee · 13th December 2008, 08:48 PM

Drouin Tree Service · 12th May 2009, 10:48 PM

Tilt grab IS very handy just grab the tree.

TrevMcRev · 12th May 2009, 11:02 PM

It's pyro season

Eric Frei · 14th May 2009, 07:02 PM

WTF are you doin' Lopa?

Some-one might have sold and transplanted that stump!

Great pics, keep'm coming.

Drouin Tree Service · 16th May 2009, 11:22 AM

Shot from the bucket,Unload 20 tonner on the road.

Drouin Tree Service · 25th May 2009, 11:10 PM

No felling required..

Eric Frei · 26th May 2009, 12:07 AM

But sure a big hole to fill.

Might make a good fire place.

Drouin Tree Service · 26th May 2009, 07:29 PM

10 ton block... lots of fires about Ekka

Drouin Tree Service · 30th May 2009, 06:51 PM

My versalift vst4000 line clearing travel tower i just brought.

A brand new 22 ton komatsu long track with FOPS and ROPS i wish was mine,under 1 hour on the clock.

Drouin Tree Service · 5th September 2009, 02:21 AM

Brought this in Sydney a few weeks back,Case badged but its a Sumitumo 21ton,Has a Construction Equipment Attachments - Helac Corporation tilt quick hitch.

Very happy with it.

Drouin Tree Service · 5th September 2009, 02:47 AM

Blue gum fire damage,And removal.

Drouin Tree Service · 5th September 2009, 02:52 AM

Very nice float brand new.

Eric Frei · 5th September 2009, 11:08 AM

Mate, you are way up there now with the gear!

Drouin Tree Service · 5th September 2009, 01:47 PM

Thanks Eric its been a battle!

TrevMcRev · 5th September 2009, 01:58 PM

Thats AWESOME mate!

Well done.

Drouin Tree Service · 5th September 2009, 02:14 PM

Came with all these buckets,The digging bucket is brand new and a nice long ripper all i need to get made up is a stick rake.All good considering the hitch is worth $23k alone, grab needed a bit of work as shown.

Got some jobs this week where it will only work an hour or 2 a day but load all the debris out,people dont seem to mind a few track marks when you tell them it will be all gone.A rubber tracked 12ton would be good for you Trev feed the chipper and all,Still get ALOT done with a 12.

Trev if you get any clearance qoutes ill be straight down to have a look with you.

Garry Brockley · 5th September 2009, 05:17 PM

Thats some awsome kit mate now theres nothing you cant handle wow
