Not sure about selective editing as such, but you have to ask why the tractors were going through the deepest mud possible. The tyres on the MAN are a metre wide......

Iv had chance to experiment with this a lot recently, actually had to remove lots of buttresses to prevent fibre pull and tearing. However these were the sort of trees where you gut the hinge and shave it down to a hairs thickness to get the timber decked without damage, rather than the kind of trees where if it goes 10 degrees off the intended lay it will obliterate mrs muffins conservatory. I have a feeling toe removal is one of those techniques that came across from forestry type harvesting work and should have been treated very differently in Arb work.

You weren't the only gay in the village by any chance?!

Even if you don't keep it 6 months, you still need a unique Id number and date of first service so you can record it on your weekly written inspections. I used to go through a hitch cord a week, now a length of armour pruss can last 6 months easily.

Buy it anyway and saw a bit off the end.

Not read the thread, but good day to you too sir.

In terms of value for money, the lorry wins every time. The only reason to go for the mog is of you need to take it off-road on a regular basis IMO.

Just got too busy trying to do tippers and tree work, the tree work is more profitable so I stuck with that.

A snipe is a downward angled cut on the bottom of the sink. If you went full depth it would make a very wide open sink, so you don't go all the way in.

I've only had one beer tonight, but I'd buy a stihl.

The Welte machines can be road legal. 40 k box too.
-
Same here! Can't imagine you'd have a problem running a bit of timber around with that, but if you want to be totally legit I think you'd have to drain and refill with white.
-
Is your forwarder road legal? Registered and lights etc?
-
Yes, and a 3120, not simultaneously though. If you have a 4' plus bar they are awkward to get into the cut, once the cuts started its easy enough. Starting a series of cuts with a smaller saw and then swapping to the big one can make it easier.

There's no me in there. There is a her in there though.

Forestry rotator is much heavier duty. Think about the forces generated by rotating a 15' long log as opposed to a little clamshell bucket. Loading logs would destroy a little rotator in fairly short order. My rotator is an indexitor.
-
Doesn't matter how heavy the grab is if you've taken it off.... Mine is 6' tip to tip open, handles most stuff, and if it's too big to fit in the grab chances are it won't lift it with the grab on anyway. You're looking at £5-7k for a big grab and rotator new though. You do need a proper forestry rotator too, the little ones that come on clamshells and block grabs just won't be up to the job.

I'd be quite impressed if my cat caught a red squirrel, as far as I know the nearest ones are on Formby, about 200 miles away.

Making arrow heads and axes out of flint, herding a woolly mammoth into a ravine and killing it with stones. If it was cold enough to keep the meat fresh we could feast for a month.

You'll want a chip box ASAP. Nothing worse than a nice big truck that can only hold a teaspoon full of chip.

Even with a ridged floor all you need is a blower to get the last bits. If you enjoy shovelling that is.

Iv done some useful ones. First aid, drivers hours. But then I started three years ago rather than leaving it until the 11th hour. ADR only counts for 21 hours as the last two days are exam only.
