My first guess would be the highway code. 253. Prohibited vehicles. Motorways MUST NOT be used by pedestrians, holders of provisional motorcycle or car licences, riders of motorcycles under 50 cc, cyclists, horse riders, certain slow-moving vehicles and those carrying oversized loads (except by special permission), agricultural vehicles, and powered wheelchairs/powered mobility scooters (see Rules 36 to 46 inclusive) Laws HA 1980 sects 16, 17 & sch 4, MT(E&W)R regs 3(d), 4 & 11, MT(E&W)(A)R, R(S)A sects 7, 8 & sch 3, RTRA sects 17(2) & (3), & MT(S)R reg 10 I know a unimog counts as a fast tractor so is capable of going on the motorway as it can go faster than 20mph which if memory serves in the minimum speed for the motorway. I'm sure it's the taxation class that means its an agri vehicle and thus not able to use it. However if it was registered as an HGV it meet the construction and use regs to use the motorway. My take on it was that it isn't allowed but i see at least on if not 2 Unimogs on the A1/A1m each morning. I think it's another agri grey area.

Looks like a Stenner 42. 3' flywheel job. Just be aware of all the H&S issues under PUWER of letting employees use it.

Do you have any C1 C or C+E from the army. It would make you more employable off the bat than others especially to some of the bigger firms.

Regardless of the right or wrongness of the event you've got to admit that the saw work and just the big felling knowledge on that video is top notch. I don't know the details of the job but i expect it was a case of if these lads hadn't done it someone else would have. I know I've felled countless trees that had great biodiversity value but someone had said their day was done.... We just have to hope that the logs went to build a house and really high end stuff that will be around for a very long time and be cherished. Pity if it ended up the timber isle of home depot.

Let me get this right. You had agreed to go to a wedding and you binned it off to go stump grinding?

Not exactly north but cracking value. Chippenham Farm Sales Ltd

Cracking deal.

Zurich?

Does that mean he will be in another corner to and people wee on him?

Great cutting, great climbing. Fantastic camera work.

Some good stuff going on there:thumbup1:

Is he charging?

I didn't see that stand on the list.

You gotta be low. I've forwarded hand cut sites where i got the tractor pick up hitch stuck on a stump which was hidden under the brash.

I think a member on here has a Lokomo forwarder with a Kelsa processor on it. It was on arbtrader.

Looks good. I'd of not bothered taking the toes off. Solid attempt though. Extra points for lowness.

A lot of hospitals within 30 miles of Watford. Even a couple of good ones. If you've got private health insurance then there are even more.

Not far off the same. I had every other Nav problem but not this one.

Is this so you can wear a pair of caulk boots? I think you will always struggle to justify the removal of saw protection especially when cutting on the ground. I can see how in the tree more flexable boots without the saw protection would be ok.

It's like a 660 on a 3' it cuts well but you have to have a sharp chain. I had one of the early 390 just after they replaced the 385 with it. It wouldn't surprise me if they livened it up down the road which is why i found it sluggish and other say its great. I think they're all heavy and the figures they give you in the book are without bar chain and fuel. The 390 is heavier than it should be but it's ergonomic design means it doesn't feel as heavy as it should.

Split level is fantastic for pulling trees. Just make the step bigger for hold. I normally use a strap release cut (which is a bit like an upside down dogs tooth) for assisted fells with a big winch. The rear step gives a bit of control during the fall.

There was your problem. You should stick to St. Albans like me.

395 - The most old skool of the current husky line up. Its very good but i don't really like the 2xx series husky chain break handle. It cuts very well and in my opinion better than the 660. Downside was that husky didn't make long bars for them but RobD can sort that out now. 660 - The one i own. has a 3' option off the shelf. It wasn't as easy when i got it to get longer bars for the husky then which is why i went STIHL. It has had to have the cylinder helecoied as it's spat sparkplugs out since day one. Had two brake handles as the exhaust melts it. Solid built and cuts like stink on a 20". 390 - Had one for a while the now discontinued 390xpg. It was just a tarted up 385xpg really. Had one of the early ones so it spat out bolts like they were free. Later ones fixed this. Vibes and ergonomics was the best of the lot was a really nice saw to use 24" bar and it was fantastic 28" was a bit like a 36" on a 660. Cuts but nothing special. Can now get a 30" if you want. I'd have another 390 if it was for forestry duties but for a big logging up saw I'd have the 395. As i said i have the 660 but i wish i'd gone husky

Out of interest why is the big side below the little side? I know there is massive variation on how to do a split level but i've never seen that one. Interested to know what advantage it has over the little side being angled and underneath the big side.

Interesting. My Bosch 110v grinders are holding up Ok. I think they're the same as that. I've broken 2 little Makitas in the same time. Seems like an issue with quality control from both brands.
