If you do not require hold from the hinge, you only need enough wood to allow you to complete your bore cut without the tree compressing & trapping your saw.
-
It's a forestry job - the fact that the landowner does not take a cut would pay for the awkward stuff. Simple maths IMO
-
They are having the best & you the worst out of the deal. I would explain that the easy stuff pays for the rest, so they have 2 options. Either pay for the works on the reduced contract or let you have the timber as per the origonal spec. I'd be very tempted to walk away & leave them too it.

Good to read you again!
-
I find side tips are easy & efficient - in many way better - have you ever run one?
-
Remember, when mounting an hiab on a smaller wagon that you can soon exceed your front axle weight. Even if you don't exceed your GVW

Chain tension variation like that is usually an oiling issue. Chain expanding & contracting due to heat build up is my guess

Nice job Simon & some great kit too

I have seen the arrows be incorrect.....

Is the cam in the right way around?

Trailer Brakes while parked backwards down hill
Pete Mctree replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
I thought your trailer brakes disengaged going backwards, but the handbrake worked. -
Well planned & executed job - some great cutting & rigging
-
I agree. Good post. Why would anyone NOT supply a piece of life support equipment for inspection? Why would anyone presume a flip line/wire core not suitable for use as primary life support without back-up? There appears to be a lot of confusing information thrown about regarding such simple things at the moment

Quite interesting how personal experiences differ with the same dealers. I have had a few saws brought to me recently from my nearest dealer/servicing agent. New carb is all I hear before I look @ them. The relationship with any dealer is vital, when you run saws to earn your crust
-
Carrs-billington are not too far away from you & are quite competitive & I have had nothing but positive dealings with them with repairs & servicing
-
Nice Tom. Is that a Forst you are running?

Does it function with a wirecore?

Beech tree removal at Eleanor Rigby's Resting place.
Pete Mctree replied to Barry_Skyland's topic in Video forum
Nice job & a good watch -
I recon the guy in the surf shop got a load of Xmas jumpers cheap Interesting vid. I do a lot of natural crotch rigging, in conjunction with a friction device. Yes it is hard on ropes - to the point where I carry a 1/2inch 16 strand climbing line for the purpose - they are quite resilient to the abuse compared to a rigging line. As well easy anchor point change, it also allows me to go a bit bigger on smaller rigging points. The friction being the key as well as the removal of the doubling effect of the pulley. If the tree is to be preserved I also carry a ring to ring friction saver which I guess is the nearest thing to the rigging rings. How does the bend radius compare to a rigging block ? It does not look favourable on large lines for blocking down heavy timber, especially if it has to be caught.

Never seen that done before. Thanks for sharing
-
The attention to detail & willingness to make that extra effort, is really appreciated.
-
There is a high output oiler available for the 660 - combined with the factory dual port muffler, it really wakes the saw up
-
Good job reg. The stem really took off down the hill - looked an awkward fell
