  1. I rebuilt one of my 560's and noticed the crank stuffers were loose , I did put it back together and a few months later the stuffer destroyed the saw!
  2. I really would disagree , there are some proper rouges operating out there who don't give a damn as long as they are saving money.
  3. The price defenders are going for now I'd put my money on a GWagon if I wanted the ultimate off road truck... Even buy an old 4 door and convert it to a flat bed tipper , the chassis and transmission are massively superior the old ones are just let down by crap engines so it would have a merc sprinter engine installed.. Sadly I would not have the time to do this! I do get all nostalgic about land pigs though and think another would be great but I spend 5 minutes in one and remember why I sold my last 90.
  4. Gonna have to get me another one for light rigging... Should not of given one away !
  5. Sorry to hear this 👎🏻👎🏻
  6. I really like the hitch climber on the wrench Joe so you have the wrench on the bottom hass on the middle and neck tether on the top... CT on the foot all the way for me, the pantin is absolute rubbish , I think tw190 had a good fix for it with some Velcro though. What are you using for a tether ? Some thing like the 4srt one from tree kit is a good call from my experience as it feels more natural if your coming from DRT ,your not planted ridged against the rope and can allow you to comfortably make a few cuts with movement then carry on ascending with out feeling like you have to unclip it all.
  7. This sounds interesting you know what I have in mind then ,do you recon there is a fix ?
  8. It's all good apart from the coil ! Cylinder looks almost unused ...
  9. Is it possible to have the ignition coil of a saw repaired or is a new one the only option?
  10. I've seen some loose the plate.
  11. Association of professional foresters
  12. Transits get stuck on a wet level playing Feild , they are great for residential work useless In bad conditions ,a few years back when it was really cold we lost at least a months work as I could not even drive the transit out the yard with the chipper on ... If your doing parkland , playing fields big gardens then a 4x4 is a must especially if you live in locations like hodge where a 4x4 is completely necessary full stop!
  13. Must be showing it different on the app ! The gladiators are ok I've had a couple of pairs but I found my self wading through stuff thinking they will be fine ... Err and they get caught on the back wrecking them !
  14. Top ones.
  15. Personally would probably not wear any thing else , one of the best features on these trousers is the tick guards as standard on them , until other manufactures start putting them in I won't wear any thing else.. Plus the fact they are the lightest ,most durable, flexible and comfy trousers out there.
  16. Awe cmon it does not look that bad mate
  17. 395 is fine on a 3/8 36" standard chain ,have rang up 100's of tonnes of hard wood with it , nice fresh ash that gums up your chain is no bother .... Would say it's noticeably quicker than an 880 on a 36" as well last time I put them side by side.
  18. The Sugi steel does not burr up as quick it's possibly slightly heavier in weight but then it just is a bit more heavy duty even though it's the lite version !I've had no issues with the sprocket ,the Oregon seized quite a few times and ended up a slack unpredictably Mess... Plus it looks better for posing pics
  19. They look great yve just ordered after seeing next weeks forecast!
  20. Same as Aiden ..36" Sugi lite bar is a lot stronger than the power match I had on before.
  21. Think they have more importance than ever for wild life , this year I've done more than I have in my career that have been specced in to work by surveyors and consultants than me suggesting it as a nice idea on monoliths or retrenchment prunes to clients.
  22. 2001 The uniforest is the only one that will bolt straight on with out an adapter or so I was told by Riko.
  23. AGT alpine tractor.. It has nothing to do with cutting shafts as it's physically impossible to raise the machine with the shafts any longer than shown but just wanted to know though how any one running an alpine and the same winch has overcome this.... Tom and Charlie who run alpine have had to have an adapter if any one could share pics of there's that would be great.
  24. Can you read ? Ffs
  25. Climbing equivalent to the tirols but a bit softer... Good boots maybe not as robust.
