    2014 550 xpg

    Brushcutter replied to Hodge's topic in Chainsaws

    550 with a 13" bar is a super flickable snedding machine. Good acceleration light weight and great balance. 560 with an 18" bar is great for felling and bucking larger timber. Personally i find it a little heavy and not as much fun as a 550. In reality if you have one you want the other. when you do have have both your happy.....until you need a 576.......

    Similar issues with the Kwikchip. Although this machine had done a lot of chipping.

    The idea has crossed my mind. Not a clue how to do it and the manual is no help. The chipper normally goes on a 100hp tractor just needed those for other jobs so the baby gets it.

    Kwik chip were solid chippers. Had a 9" turntable which worked very well. Only got rid of it as Fletchers stopped doing them and spares became hard to find. Now you can get them as they were a rebadged from another make who can do you spares. From memory i think the 9" turntable was around 850kg.

    Out of your list TP as they are a very solid chipper. What massey will you be putting it on? We run a 12" Bandit (1.5tonne) on a Massey 4345 which is 75hp at about 70 at the PTO. Always stalls the tractor at start up but second go it runs and it works very well considering the power behind it.

    Clark Forests' own brand bio chain oil its around £50 for 25 liters which is an absolute bargain.

    Send a red diesel 4x4 regesterd as an agri vehicle on the low loader with the harvester/forwarder to the site. Use the 4x4 on site to the roadside. Then have a diesel estate or van to get to and from site? As for the solution i dont think there is one. i'm getting around about 30-35mpg from my Navara.

    £5-10 a tonne based on a 10 tonne set up.

    Lot of good advice. A friend of mine managed to bog an harvester digger base. The forwarder couldn't pull it out....the county couldn't pull it out. The digger hand to dig it out then winch it out. Bog mats could always be an option the less pressure you put on the surface the less likely you are to have a dangerous expensive day.

    Can i have a price on the 5105 with the heated handles? After having a demo of Echo brushcutters this week which were superior to their husky/sthl equivalents i'd like to try a dolly.

    I found what ever big defenders you put on the vertex one pops open.

    Heal quick! Where in Herts you based?

    Nice trailer. Will that take two bays of 3m? Do you use the fast trac in the woods or just on the road?
  16. Brushcutter
    I think above 85db you have to wear ear protection. The 118db saw might not be 118 all the time as think that is the theoretical maximum. Also its not right next to your ear so there will be some drop off. If it is 93db getting to your ears i doubt you could use the saw for a full day without doing damage.

    My apologies i have the 31 ones, I thought they were 34 apparently not after a quick google.
  18. Brushcutter
    MSA Sordin 34snr is what i wear. I do find after a while the springs go and they don't fit as tightly. If it is really loud i wear 34snr laser lite ear plugs as well. Downside of that is that your really cant hear that much at all.
  19. Brushcutter
    Tidy job. Did you have a forwarder helper or was it all by hand.
  20. Brushcutter
    I love grapple cam on your channel. Pitt it miss out on all the fun sideways action of getting to those logs.
  21. Brushcutter
    Its as product length upright as it will ever be.
  22. Brushcutter
    As said above i'd put the crane on the tractor. Then it can do more things thus adding flexibility and increasing it opportunities to make you money. Its your choice if you want it on the roof or under the window on a frame. Forwarder cranes - www.kesla.fi Well worth a look they come in all shapes and sizes. can be put on an EH system too. Cranes to look at: Kronos - most expensive Kesla Mowi/fmv Vren (or however you spell it they were logbus) Botex Either way cranes are expensive but its better on the tractor than just on the chipper.

    Had a go with the Echo 620sx today with a 20" bar. Only did a few cuts with it but it was a nicely balanced saw with some old grunt to it. Not the rapid acceleration of a 560 much closer to the chugging of a 372. Not the best anti vibe system in the world but it was a very nice saw. Personally i'd like to try it on an shorter bar. Seemed very well made its no 560 but i did prefer it to the 362.

    Have you tried the Npower depot on the Hemel Road just past the fire place shop? They've been changing a lot of poles of late. If you need 3m Larch poles i could perhaps help.

    Is it a tractor mounted chipper?
