    The 395 in my avatar is running a 36" with full comp 3/8. Pulls like a freight train.

    I've a lot of experience of using the 560 series. Over complicated, poor quality chip, silly fragile blades, very low hp / output ratio, VERY expensive.

    Jenz 561 chipper, bag of crap. Not sure who told you the price, factory list with all options is £360K Your right about the manouverability though, definately the way forward.

    Its out there, speak to Rojek if you want one. I'd do more with it, but I'm pulled out with work and dont have the time.

    Liam, the answer is in your Avatar Good thread though, I've been trying to get a decent flask for ages. We carry a small dumpy lpg cylinder, gas ring and kettle with us, and a selection of tea and coffee, sugar etc. (chai spiced tea being my drink of choice)

    Mr Ed replied to Frank's topic in General chat

    Give me an Audi Quattro over a subaru any day. My mate has a forestor, and its woefully lacking in torque. The 2.5 V6 TDi in the A4 and A6 audi is an absolute beast.

    its a scam. Bet he asks you to pay with moneygram

    Would do, but way to busy. Hopefully I can get the cliff notes from you at a later date Bob.

    I've done good business with Doug at ETC, very fair timber buyer. Bought a couple of hundred tonnes of 2.5m larch and douglas sawlogs off me from the Ugly Cottage at Betws y Coed.

    Really... Not sure who told you that. I've seen boatloads of stakes coming in from Latvia, but I've seen thousands of tonnes of fencing harvested in the UK. I have a mate running a harvester and he cuts nothing but fencing year in year out. I can get £40+ a tonne for fencing material.

    Fast growing = Very long fibres = very good pulp. Finland buys a lot of our sitka pulp, as theirs is slow growing with short fibres. Great strength, but makes poor pulp.

    stuff flies out the woods here. good markets for logs, bars, and fencing.

    No Mark, my reservations about the TW would be based more on the very lightweight flywheel, tiny bearings in both the mainshaft and infeed shafts, small bypass knives, and small diameter infeed rollers. This of course, is just my opinion. For the Farmi, I would say its pro points to me are very high quality Finnish steel, heavy bearings, double disk flywheel with sliver breakers, full size 18" hollow ground knives, double anvils, cuts with the grain rather than against it, extremely simple and robust safety bar system, easily exchangable hoppers (great if you want to crane feed) oversized top roller, low skids and machine hieght.

    Anybody else wanting a similar load of beech? I have roughly 40 tonnes in manchester.
  25. Mr Ed
    I would not rate the 12" pto timberwolf particularly highly, There are much better machines out there. TP is good, Junkarri not so good, FARMI is the best for the money, Bandit 250 is about the best but now expensive.
