Yea some friends of mine lost a knife from their chipper. Came out the housing and dissapeared never to be found again.

when i did my CS38 pole climbing was the bit i felt most confident about. Sometimes i like to put the flip line on opposite sides so it forms a triangle with the tree in the middle. Sometimes a double rap of flip line round the trunk.

Having a read of it all large tree felling no longer exists. CS32 now covers large trees. The CS49 will be specialist tree felling i know there is one guy on here who has done it, well it was cs33 then.

Saturday for me. Looking forward to it this year i'm going to buy shiney things.

Yes he was.

I think there was another guy who was using an older Valmet harvester doing copicing. That was in Forestry Journal a little while ago. Think the FC was pleased with the results.

Saw a review in Farmer Weekly a few week ago. It looks cool very pricey though.

Don't get me started on Toyota dealers. From two experences with them and my old works Hilux i have vowed to never own a Toyota or suggest anyone else ever has one either. I got a Nissan and the service and parts department have never been short of amazing.

Grows quite slowly. When it's all milled up it looks brilliant a bit like Walut.

Just had a look and mine was 470 quid plus the vat for the training and the test. I had an hour or so before my second test that was 35 quid plus the vat.

Maybe it was longer then. I too was shatered after it the concentration was emence especially during the reverse.

I did my B+E test about this time last year. Did it with a local guy had a few lessons. I failed my first test on the driving rather than the trailer bit. If you look around the net you'll find the diagram of the reverse it's quite strict. Lots of lines and cones your not aloud to cross or hit. You can get out to have a look once and your only aloud 2 shunts. The trailer hook up is quite easy just remember break on the trailer first thing on and last thing off. The test is an hour long so 15 mins of off road manuvers then 45 mins of driving. So i spent 45 mins driving round Oxford with a trailer on.

I thought it would be some kind of moth.

Hi Seen a few Silver Birches with almost a shrink rap on them. You couldn't tell unless you get up close but there is a film all over the bark. What causes it? Thanks Andy

I have the Strech Air extreams type C. On their 3rd zip but they don't get ripped up like my Hiflexs or melt like my Husky type As. Their lighter than most trousers and cooler, yes more expensive but worth the money.

How close together are they? If they are in an avenue or something simmilar a MEWP would speed things up and be a lot kinder on the body.

56 plate for the one with the timber trailer. 58 plate for the loader one.

Those were tiny pics lets see if i can make them bigger no it appears not they are ment to be 640x420 pixels don't look like it. Reverse stearing has it's place when mowing and forwarding. Never had a tractor that does it though. I'd have a slightly bigger tractor that the N101 for a cab crane and harvester head one of the small T series T130 maybe. As for ground clearance it's great in the woods, however its a pain to use our chipper on as the angle of the pto is so steep. Also the lift on the arms doesn't pick the big topper up very high either. Still i love 'em especially the HiShift gear box.

Brushcutter replied to SuJo's topic in Employment
Sounds like a cool project. Got work on this week and next could do 24th and 25th as well. Give me a PM if interested. -
Red grease in the sprocket nose and red grease in the needle bearing. The 346 is the same as the 357 as you can pump the grease down the hole in the middle. Sometimes is a good idea to take the baring out and just roll it in grease in the little tube. Gives you a chance to inspect it. Not broken a needle baring in a 346 but i've done 3 in the 357 in a year and a half. Oh and they do get greased.
