    I've got an valmet 8100 with a crane on a jake plate. I use it for arb and site clearance and don't find visibility an issue, sure id like it to lift more, but that's always going to be the case

    Think of it as tax paid that you don't need to worry about at the end of the year

    Mike I climb trees and put them on the ground, sometimes they are lowered, sometimes they are speedlined and sometimes I just drop them. In nearly a decade of doing this I've managed to not kill myself and unbelievably I've never used or needed a computer to work out wether it's going to be ok There is such a thing as overcomplicating things and I'm not really sure why your trying to play a game of oneupmanship by asking people who believe there is a similar and equally practical way of doing the job to solve your rigging calculations. You seem to enjoy alienating people by preaching how superior you are

    Keep it simple, a very effective speed line can be setup with minimal kit. Ie an old climbing line tensioned with a truckers hitch And a selection of karabiners and slings

    you can easily do a 2ft stump with a carlton 900 with a decent greenteeth setup, infact when I bought my first grinder id tackle anything and did a 38inch beech stump in under 3 hours, it just depends how much you like hard work you obviously know far more than myself about the subject though
  11. John Shutler
    id definitely be interested
  12. John Shutler
    I should also add that for 2-3k you will get a dog of a 20hp machine. 2k will get you a decent carlton 900
  13. John Shutler
    can you chuck yours onto of a load of chips and timber? didn't think so ive had many grinders from small petrol to large diesel 4wd machines my favourite to date is the carlton 900
  14. John Shutler
    get a 13hp carlton 900 20hp grinders are a waste of time imo, to big to lift onto the back of a truck, but not big enough to make a difference

    so ive found a couple of farmi chippers, I know they are meant for chipping cord but how do they cope on brash
  16. John Shutler
    thats all well and good, but do you get £200.00 pounds worth of climbing and dismantling ability?

    18 inch sugihara prolite getting some action today
  18. John Shutler
    in 2 years of owning a grcs ive never used the bollard, always rig onto the winch
  19. John Shutler
    really pleased with my sugihara bars of which ive got 3 now. the 13inch bar on my 346xp is used and abused daily by the whole team and is showing little sign of wear

    I think a compact tractor would be to big my boxer is versatile, it runs a grab, bucket, stump grinder, log splitter and mulching head

    There's a company in Poole that make winch mounting kits, they made me one for my old ranger. http://www.pwsacc.co.uk

    I don't understand what you mean by driven by the back axle my crane runs off the tractor hydraulics, I assumed the hydraulics for the chipper would be driven by the pto?
  24. John Shutler
    a couple of jobs recently it would have been good to have a chipper behind my valmet. id want to be able to crane feed it. ive been looking at the FARMI CH260 does anybody have any experience of crane feeding this machine
