Back in the woods clearing some room and winching in some hard to reach trees before the harvester starts end of next week.

Had a 74 year old legend of the chainsaw from Hamsterley felling in front of me . ce8bf288daf9625e3d7d0e452d847eda.jpg95af62dc7b0934ae621f31f17d62314e.jpg725bf6e55d212577e048db98222d0715.jpgc5c70eac4ea453b1a7372c9fa89bfff2.jpg73246f4d329eb0b0f96ad52f04b431f9.jpgce5c19cf718eb70eb23bb060872fceef.jpg

Plenty more to do on oversize and hard to reach once a crossing is made in the beck and what we have stacked up is processed.

Like your logging blade. Your own creation or can you buy them? That a radio remote winch or a manual?

It's a igland blade, just picked it up 2nd hand and is useful to nudge stuff out the way without having to turn round to use the winch, not tried stacking timber up with it yet but really want to make a decent nose guard for valtra 1st save putting something through radiator!

It's a manual farmi jl501 which is proving a good bit of kit.

Would have liked a all singing remote control set up but at well over twice the price just couldn't see the justification for how much we actually did at the time but then typically then get a whole heap more work for it.....

Better picture of blade for you c291a816b6efbaa23a7d82175283d3a9.jpg

Thanks. I'll look out for one. I have just picked up a Fransgard V6500 and going to that after years of radio remote has been hard to say the least.

Darn good winch though, very well built, used 1 for years and it took everything we gave it I believe it's still going after 19 years now.

How you getting on with that winch you bought from me?

Fantastic, it's still attached to the pallet it arrived on 😚

Completely changed how we did the job it was intended for, then decide the massy wasn't going to stop so didn't fit it with intention of fitting to next tractor then got valtra which had front links so could take farmi winch, now might be keeping massy so might still go on that and if not definitely going to keep as will have something come up where I can modify it onto something to be useful..... Probably 😜

Think mine is from the early 2000s and is still going strong. I like it, as much as you can like winching.

Ha, sounds exactly like one of my 'projects'!

It's a time thing or rather lack of time thing where I end up prioritising the jobs as....

Have to do,

Need to do

Could do with doing

Should do

Want to do

Would like to do

Sod it I'm working a Sunday to do.

Really ought to get someone else to do

Pay someone to do.

 

Or something like that 😉
