I find myself smiling at your logic Casto... It must have cost you more than the entry fee just to get there in the mog? False economy springs to mind! Having said that the more kit there is to see the better.

I think the idea of towing the 411 behind the 406 is great - yet more fun stuff to look at! :)

Count us in - Would love to see more Mog owners in one place and swop some stories.

I am coming up from London so some place where we can camp would be nice.

who mentioned logic being involved  :D ::)

to be fair my 406 is pritty good on the juice, even compared to my 110. i put £50 of white in to go to the show  :'( (after draining all the red out!!) so had half a tank. we drove there, did the road run, drove round the campsite and drove home and used hardly anything. did to jobs with the mog running on white after the show!!  :)  ;D

I've just spotted a profile with a U2100 listed on it.... I'm going light headed! :D

I always had mogs down as real fuel thirsty beasts? How many litres would you say it would take to drive ten miles to a job, fill the chip box with the chipper and get home again?

I've never used more than quater of a tank, so about 20ltrs in a day. That's traveling and chipping. Chip box is about 6cube.  8)

you can get 18mpg out of a 900, more if you drive carefully, regarding filling the tank for chipping, no idea, we never really bothered to check, i know we used to stick a 25 liter barrel of diesel in the back and sometime we used it, sometimes we didnt, i suppose it depends if youre using the chipper all day relentlessly or not.

i recon you just stand there and try to look good, cause ive no idea how you manage that! maybe its cause yours has never been fueled up? although we used to fill mass off tractor trailers with the chipper.

If you run a chipper the size a Unimog can power I think they will process about 4 m2 of chip per hour? So 90 minutes to fill the back?

My hand fed Trukloder chipper could fill my landy bed in an hour and that was 1.8m2.

I agree, if you're running it solid all day it would probably consume a lot more?

i've never been on a job where we have had a chipper running all day!!  :D prob takes 30/45mins to fill her. its enough space to do most normal tree jobs (if there is a thing as normal in trees  ::))

kassy isnt fueled up either so its a big engine doing not very much. she plods around at 40mph and chips at 2000rpm

Speak for yourself - you've got a decent chipper! ::)

It's not unheard of for me to run my little Entec all day. But then it's the same as the newer Timberwolf 18/100G. Gravity feed, 18hp petrol engine... Not exactly the most powerful or productive machine out there.

You'd have to do some serious felling and have a big place to dump your chip if you were to run your machine all day. 6m3 in 45 minutes! That's some serious turnover... 60m3 per day if dumping on site!
