Chain not sitting properly in the sprocket? i.e. it's not in the floating rim or half on the floating rim. Starter dogs not sitting right on the flywheel side?

Disco 3/4 or a Land cruiser. Although for the money you're get a better vehicle in the used pick up market.

I must admit on most trees i leave the toes on then dress the butt then dress out out the stem. Another one is forester's paint - wiping mud on a stump to hide it back into the landscape.
-
Dressing out - Snedding/delimbing a tree Scratch up - raking up/tidying up Dress the butt - making sure the buttresses are taken off and the butt end nice presented. Nice lead - Timber all presented in the same direction; nicely. Racking out - process of putting racks into a block of tress typically every 5th row. Landing - Areas where timber is stacked or proccessed into stacks. Deck - the ground can also be a log deck a series of skidded logs all next to eack other. Some Americanisms Faller -What we would call a cutter or a feller but Americans use the term faller and its sort of caught on here. Bull Bucker - An experienced man normally running the landing or saw operations.

This. Not really an expert on the subject of the use of a saw in the tree as a creature of the ground but i on occasion i do it. Only time i have any issues is when i'm too lazy or not confident enough to get to where i really need to be. It must of been late 90s or early 2000s when we had play nice with the 020 or we'll take them away. Seems we're heading back there in that direction.

Mortising Chestnut posts- carving bar?
Brushcutter replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Woodcraft Forum
WADKIN MF CHAIN AND HOLLOW CHISEL MORTICER SIDE BY SIDE MORTISER MACHINE | eBay This would do the job. Assuming you have a workshop 3 phase and want to do all your posts before you get to site. Never had much luck doing it with a regular saw bar. The smaller tip husky bars work better than STIHL ones but the hole always come out a little large. Don't have a carving one to try with. Best done the right way before hand. -
Problem with chippers smaller than 6" is that they require a lot of prep time preparing the material to chip. I've had a range of chippers from 5" to 12". Bigger is better without a doubt BUT with that comes cost,expense and handling issues. From the otherside any good chipper is better than no chipper. The Greenmech CS100 goes for reasonable money even second hand.

I've never written one off. Had a lot of punctures in them over the years worst one was an inch wide bit of larch in they tread. Patched it up and it was fine. Like i said i've done road work estate forestry and farming on them. Actually chose them on my current valtra.

Also give Brocks a call. Other the end of the country to you but they are fantastic. https://www.bwt.uk.com/ Carry used tyres in a range of sizes for reasonable money and they're new stuff is quite affordable. I think i was looking at around a £600 quid discount on a set.
-
Do you needforestry crossply? Nasty things on the road. I've been using Mitchlin Agribib tyres for years on forestry - not roof mount though. Michelin Agricultural Tires I'm currently looking at getting some Trelleborg TM600 for a little massey. Work out a bit cheaper than the agribib but are quite hard wearing.

Was it EP90?

steel. I've had fiber cored steel before, it was meant to be 'safer' but what was happening was because it wasn't as rigid it crushed on the drum and then snapped. I've not used plasma rope or any other synthetic ropes so can't comment on it.

The bark looks that way to me. English Oak the bark tends to be rougher.
-
It doesn't burn very well either. Wouldn't mill up into that nicer stuff either.
-
Burn it

I think it depends on the construction of the cable. The 11mm i have in my tirfor has an SWL of 1500kg but has a tested MBS of around 8 tonne if memory serves. I think i have 11mm in my fransgard which is 6.5t and i use to work with a 9.5t which was 13mm. All to do with how the cable is layed...

Broken strands damage hands or so the big poster in the workshop use to say. As you say if the tractor is used for work rather than pay it is required to have a roll bar under PUWER. Also the winch has moving parts that should be guarded under PUWER as well. I've seen and snapped many a winch cable. I've also seen the snapped choaker go through a tractor cab! As for getting a winch cable Anglia handling in Biggleswade are very helpful.

International delivery is available? Think that means they'll bring it down south?
-
Arbwork on here has a woodmiser or at least he use to. Worth a shot.
-
Try your local NFU mutual office. Did my Navaras for years on a commercial policy with NFU. Trailer cover and breakdown was in there. It was expensive but you get what you pay for.
-
There is a few cheap ploughs on ebay at the moment. Couple of dowswels and a Ransoms. 3 furrow reversible for around 500 quid.
-
I expect it is nearly the weight of a transit.
-
What is that block rated at? and if you dont mind me asking how much was it as i'd like one for my 6.5t one.

Harvester wanted to cut 500T near Battle
Brushcutter replied to Dave177's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Does Woodwise still have a Valtra harvester. They're in that neck of the woods. -
Like the stroke processor.
