    Why don'y you just call Atkinson Voss and listen to them? After all they sell these things you know.

    I had one of those.Great machine! The tank is not that big from memory.If you are going to be running it hot all day,then bring an extra 20liters on top of a full tank. If you ever feel like getting rid of it,let me know please.

    Highly recommend these.Had mine 6 months and they are wearing excellently.I'll get a year out of them for sure. :Husqvarna Classic Chainsaw Trousers Black 5781654xx | eBay I used to swear by the stretch airs,but they arn't what they used to be.And at the current price of the stretch airs,you can get four pairs of the Husky ones.

    You can actually hear the Belt slipping all the way through the Video.I'd not be too proud of that. Chipping stuff like that is the realm of a BC1800XL or larger.

    Don't you think sticking around and solving your own Country's problems isn't the right thing to do? As for "the grass is greener" syndrome.The Tree industry in New Zealand is pretty much saturated as well. There were 72 Companies offering Tree Services in Christchurch alone. The industry is a victim of its own appeal .

    I ended up making the Handle from some Pine that my mates Barn was buildt from in the 1600's. I made a guard from half a Brass Bush,then shortly after lost the Knife.

    I use a Ms192 for reductions and little section fells.I bought it in the States for about £200 brand new.It came with a 16" Bar which I was a bit skeptical of,however after porting it it really is the mutts nuts for pruning.The long bar means less reaching.
  9. Mike Hill
    Does look good that.And probably all you need for a Crown Reduction.

    Nice Video mate!

    I bet its not. I was on $440 per six and a half hour day back in 1999,logging in BC.I had left a Cable Logging crew in New Zealand ,where I was on $220 for 14 hours with one hour travel each way. I realized more at the end of the week in Canada and Alaska than I have done working anywhere else. The cost of living in New Zealand has as previously stated risen drastically,and wages are often 30% less than in Aus. Scandinavia payes well,but the taxes are drastic and the cost of living is enormous.

    Probably best off winching them into the Crown with a GRCS or similar.

    No. The "use in connection to equipment" would be a for example a Concrete pump carrying concrete,or a mobile crane carrying its counter weights. I tried this route in Norway when I bought my Mog.Welding the Chjpper to the linkage was not enough because the linkage was designed to be removed. These are EU wide regs by the sound of it. Your going to have to use and pay for the Mog as a Truck.Or sell it and buy a Tractor.

    Bash it down the track in one,cut it into bits the Heizo can eat and blow it into Skips or Grain Trailers. Easy day for two.

    Really need to see more pictures of the Tree and know what kit you have or can hire in. Details such as is the chip and log staying or does it all a have to leave site,makes the difference between one and five days.
  16. Mike Hill
    Did you Google it?
  17. Mike Hill
    Had he done more buggering you might not even be here! Just be thankful you are!
  18. Mike Hill
    How does he get the "Skyline" tight without breaking it?
  19. Mike Hill
    Propper Axe Man you are mate. How many Ton,have you extracted? 2 or even 3?
  20. Mike Hill

    Ropes are made from Plastic,Plastic comes from Oil.

    You really don't need to buy a "pro model" saw for your occasional usage. If you ran a "semi pro" saw eight hours a day for a month a year,I would expect it to last 12 or more years. Having said that,buy what feels right and is up to the job. So perhaps think about it that way.

    I used one for a week. Its ok.Nothing more than ok and has a "cheap" feeling about it.
