Sorry to hear that, been talking to a few guys up here recently and it seems the amount of kit being pinched is getting scarey, was out with some forestry contractors on Wednesday and they had sold a load of their kit for fear of it being stolen, its a very very sad state of affairs we have got to in the UK now, where people cant keep hold of the equipment essential to their jobs.

mmmmmm fried venison steaks my favorite and surely Teak is an Indian wood? so should be good for the naan

cheers for that i was getting confused with the 1500 there was one on ebay last year with a timber crane mounted on it, dont think it made a lot from memory, The engine parts are easy to get, but i have been told that as soon as they start playing up with stearing and hydrulics they can be a right pain due to all the hoses,
-
is it a 1250? looks like a 1200 to me, thought the 1250 was the v8 version from the states and that doesnt look like the v8 lump? nice bit of kit though,

i think the heli may have been lifting timber off the steep banks behind the tractors at a guess, and the tractors will have just been working on clearing the heli drop area the amount heli's cost you dont use airflifting ones for publicity, not by the time you have the ground crew set up and have paid relocation costs for them, and the paperwork with local councils and the aviation authority is unreal that said if you have a product that needs lifting short distances over very bad terrain they can quickly become a cost effective option, especially for heavy materials, I must admit the timber must be worth a hell of a lot to merit lifting it out, also having to climb any height with a load can very quickly kill any operation as they use so much fuel climbing its actually preferable to fly 10times the distance over flat ground rather than be closer and have to climb 100mtrs with a load on,
-
who was doing the airlifting, i dont recognise the livery on the heli? looks like a sweet job, was the heli clipping itself to the timber or was it having to be manually loaded and auto unhooking?
-
use them for files and bits, but have had my chains from Jonesies
-
i think i have a brand new stihl strimmer head in the workshop, i will have a look tomorrow, other thing dont use to rotorvator on anything but already well worked soil, as they put so much stress on the other components, i have had problems will all the kit of mine that has run a rotorvator on, really they should be only put on the clearing saws with the bigger heavier shafts, which they of course dont fit on,
-
what sort of course, as in towards getting a bat license or just a course to inform arb practitioners, i would contact your local bat group via your local widlife trust, or try the bat conservation trust for short courses,

if your looking at the MM6, it is tiny, i have one and wouldnt recommend it for regular surveys, its ok for occasional use, the screens to small and suffers from issues with bad reflection, I used to run 2 MM CE's the older version of the CX and they were great,
-
big job was it, i see you've had to crack out the men at work sign today, as well as the cone
-
do you tighten the chain when its warm in use then not slacken it off when you finish?

Hi there, I suspect we actually met the other weekend, as i was one of the speakers at the Staffs Mammal conference, It was on the sunday walk that got me thinking about this on sites like Cotton Dell, as i have been involved with much of the monitoring and box installation in Staffs and whilst boxes solve the issue short term its not creating suitable future habitat, it would be interesting to see if some of the FC staff that attended the pine marten conference last year, could identify a suitable site to trail this work on -
think someone needs to spash out on their traffic management, or at the least nick a second cone from somewhere:lol:

CESAR - Construction Equipment Security And Registration anyone use this? NFU seem to be offering huge discounts if plant/equipment is in this scheme, upto 12.5% if just in the scheme, upto 27% if it has a tracker as well what i cant work out is, it looks like basically registering the kit with datatag, which my atv is, and i get no discount and a slight reduction in excess but if i register it through this scheme i can get the 12.5% anyway just deciding if its worth putting the tractors on it,
-
sweet set up, is it the full size pda mobi mapper CE as opposed to the MM6
-
shouldnt moan mate, did a windthrown one before xmas, was sharpening the 372 with a 24" bar every two rings tree was full of ivy roots and had got like soil inside it, not a nice day,
-
easier to split like that though!

i have a couple of the new oregon ones, that have the ears showing the angles, have a hole in the top that takes a spare spark plug and also have a built in spanner for getting the spark plug out (incase you lose your combi spanner?) they seem ok after a few weeks of use on the flat file handles, the new stihl rubberised ones are ace!
-
sorry to hear that, the ripped dash were they checking for a tracker?
-
