All come down to how much money you want to spend. You say you want 3pl version have you considered putting the crane on a Jake plate and keeping it on the tractor? As for brands i've never used the 3 series Botex just the bigger 5 ones. They're great value for money and make good arb cranes. I'm currently rather taken by the Farmi G2 trailers and cranes. Kesla make some very good cranes i think the 200s come on a 3pl.

I worked out there for a year on the forestry side. Most of it is harvester and forwarder work. Clearing saw for early stand work. Most of the utility work i saw was done from a helicopter with dangling circular saws. We drove off a harvester off the low loader and did a few trees in a blokes garden once. I didn't see a single arb team in my time over there. I expect if you go to Helsinki, Tampere Turku then you may have them. If you go up into Lapland trees are very small (they have their own harvester driving method up there) so i doubt they have much arb. Metsaman on here is a Fin so he maybe more helpful that I.

The falling course in BC costs about £15,000 and takes 30 days. Then there is 180 days of on site training before become a proper faller. Retests every year to keep standards high. Don't know if the UK stuff will skip you through the training. I don't know if there is stuff for non certified forestry cutters or the BC fallers thing is like the UK FISA thing. Wowjob.ca would be a good place to look. search for logging.

Britool Expert E100109 - 60-340 Nm Torque Wrench + 1/2'' SD Ratchet Not sure if this is the one i have but i have a britool one. Infact i have the big one that goes up to 600 odd as well. They're so old now they should probably be re calibrated.

Are there filters or bits to grease under that plate. If so get the plasma out and cut a few holes out so you can work on them without having to drop the whole plate. If your going to be doing a lot of brash mat driving i'd put a bit of plate over that oil filter too.

It's hard enough to flail ditches here with one head let alone 4. -

The local FC office here has to send their people up to Scotland for PA training. It's not like there is a shortage of local providers either.

550 is a cracking small saw. I use it for stuff up to about 25" for stuff say 6-8" and under it's a little over powered. I use it on a 13" bar.
-
Didn't know that. They made a great machine.

I think it happens more on modern saws. The vibrations that they're soaking up is immense to get it down to 3m/s at the hands. That engine is around 13000 rpm. Metal gets hot gets cold hot again bashed about and then it snaps. I never broke any on the 346/357 but I've done one on a 550. Saws being blunt and thus leaned on in the cut tends to wear the springs a bit quicker too.

OBM Pro Stump Grinders - OBM machines [ame] [/ame] When i got prices at the last APF they were expensive but it produces good results.
-
AV springs normally snap when saws are thrown around dropped and bashed around in transport. Then a bit of vibration through them finishes them off. They're a wear part really they actually do a lot of work soaking up vibes which must weaken them somewhat.
-
That's a very reasonable price since it's a twin pack, might treat myself next pay day. I like the Woolpower stuff it's expensive but it will keep you warm. I think to be honest if its Merino wool it will keep you warm and people won't mind sitting next to you on the way home at the end of the day. Considering all the other layers breath properly too.

Nice bit of felling that!

Tommy roast chicken dinner in Tesco was 4 quid now 2. Good reduction in the Chuck outs. Won't be as good as yours
-
Smells good mate. Dinner that is

Likewise i've never seen one go there before. I've welded up fingers and pins before but never the rotor mount. You'd be needing a lot of amps to do that job.
-
That's a serious break. Must of been showing some signs of weakness before hand? Going to need some big rods for that.

what logs have you been chopping today!
Brushcutter replied to william petts's topic in Firewood forum
Looking good. Is that your roof mount? -
You really want Valtra Tran really. 46 would happy sit in a aux tank for a crane but i doubt on its own it would have all the lubricating properties to deal with wet breaks and clutch.

running a f/w processor from a teleporter
Brushcutter replied to Johny Walker's topic in Large equipment
Is that at idle or working revs? We wrecked our pump using the bucket brush as it boiled the oil in the tank! Just be sure you've got enough oil to to keep this from happening. -
Was it reduced thanks u1
-
Thanks Tommy. I have steak. What is U1 having?
-
I got salt and vinegar. Other flavors were available.
