All my 200's, 357's and now my 372's are ported. noisier, but performance is worth it....
-
The new range of greenmech's are excellent machines.
-
Just conjecture, I'm yet to drop a square log.
-
no, square ones. They let your bum shut with a bang.
-
haha, wondered when that was coming
-
Common mistake, easy to make. Oil rig - Tractor, very similar.
-
Nice rig Bob.
-
On that model, about 6500kgs. The engine is rear balanced by the weight of the drum and feedworks. The actual noseweight I'm not sure of, but a U900 was able to tow it without any undue compression of the rear springs. That one is running on electric brakes. The buyer was given the option of air or hydraulic, but was happy enough with the electric system. VOSA have been happy enough with electric braking systems. wish more trailers were fitted with them over here.

Sorry TM, but the people I talk too are religeous about blade changes. As for changing the bearings, why? Good bearings should outlast the machine, not need changing every 500 hours. ANd if a bearing wears, it should not take out your mainshaft and flywheel... As for being cheaper than the competition, and with cheaper parts, have you got facts and figures to back up that statement? Edit - Your last statement, are you saying that the TW has a 6 x 11 infeed... or that it does'nt need one...?
-
Big processors only work if you have a LOT of customers. for most tree surgeons, a nice little hydraulic splitter is ideal.
-
so how would you prevent the main bearings from collapsing, damaging the flywheel?
-
Good effort on the punctuation:icon14: Thats the spirit:cheers:
-
Good punctuation might give your opinion a smidgen of validity. refering to other peoples opinions as 'gay remarks' will only reinforce peoples opinion of you....
-
£50 per day x 5 £250 x4 weeks - £1000 £12k per year would pay for a big processor in 2 - 3 years, but produce 50 times what a man with an axe will. For people who do a lot of firewood, manpower will always cost way more than machines...
-
Guys, lets keep it polite. And try and use punctuation marks Treemotion.
-
About £38k... but I'll have it painted in barbie pink for you.
-
Shall I put it on your account?
-
you need a grid to sift off the crap. Check this out... http://www.timberwolfcorp.com/firewood_processors/video.asp?id=4

You need 30 tonnes to slice knots with a 6 way knife.
-
Keep the knife sharp and it slices through the knots. Anyone doing firewood should have a decent hydraulic splitter.
-
What parts? Knives and anvils from Saturn machine knives, engine parts from whichever manufacturer, any hydraulic components from VHS in Sheffield, anything else is blacksmith repairable..
-
I think some of us have been part of these huge arguments in the past, and now treat the whole thing with a touch of humour.
-
Why?
-
I would do your tickets first. Even then, dealing with windblown and hung up trees is one of the most dangerous tasks you can undertake in treework - seriously, hangups can kill you very easily.... If Farmer Giles wants to go 50/50, tell him you will want him there with a tractor and loader to pull out the leaners and lift the fallen trees off the ground.

Not really Ben, The big roller feed drum chippers like I sell are completely HSE compliant, and believe it or not, self feed drum chippers are an anomaly, coming under no legislation.
