Single lever mod isn't a great idea if an employee is using it, people have been prosecuted for that after accident occurred. If it's you at home for your own use then hse law not applicable.

The groundie is quite gnarly though, picked the splitter up in his forearms & walked it onto the Ifor. Cleans his teeth with my chain grinder. [I'm dead if he sees this ?]

Productive day for the small but mighty Logbullet. Been a testing week or so, had to replace the glide bearing in the crane last week which was fun. Then I put my back out on Monday so been hobbling around like a cowboy with a dicky belly all week!

Nice job Mick, Like the idea of a big saw up the tree early instead of overworking the top handle. The weather looks a lot kinder for tree work with you than in most of the UK too?. What with the weather and the loader doing a lot of the heavy lifting I’m getting jealous. Thinking of getting one myself but unsure on wether wheeled or tracked, feel another thread coming?

Thanks, that was a 562, lovely saw.

 

 

Édit. The saw up in the crown is a 550, the topper had just run out of fuel with one cut to go, so I brought it up early.

Very nice mate?

Had the opportunity to use one of these last week and they do seem the ticket for maneuverability and speed?

I just need to grow a gut to increase lifting capacity ?

i'm going to build in a doughnut stand and a coffee machine to help keep the counter balance fed

may as well fit a seat and a cab too, oh and some heating

Sounds like you've got it sorted 

Would also recommend a cable for the revs throttle something like this?
