Need to strech the legs occasionally but is fairly comfortable. Best set up i played with was a roof mount T150 with a fancy seat. Load of room and you could then slide the seat forwards and back to get the perfect postition.

Ah the 8000 series window is a pain. I've never seen a window one in the flesh only the cheaper metal blanking plate option.

If climbing newbies can come then i'll come. Its only 20 mins away from me.

That is very smart. I'd put some guards over the rear lights and the side lights too. Any reason you've not put the spool block in the cab? That a KTS trailer?

I thought they were only introduced 300ish years ago.

Is it really 600 years?

Quick release snatch block for extraction
Brushcutter replied to waterbird's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
You think Clarks will do a strop block and maybe a shackel for a 9.5t winch re direct. So rated to 19-20t. -
Your thumb wraps around the front handle and doesn't run parallel with it. When it goes flying out of your hand and hits you/someone else or something expensive you WILL regret it. Don't leave stubs when dressing out trees. Always think ahead how does your current action fits into the bigger picture. eg don't stack timber 7m away from the rack on a site that has a 6m forwarder crane on it.

Mine did the same. Needed a new carb.

When you anchor it to a tree and drag the cable out with the tractor does it come out? If it does you need to lay the cable back on the drum under tension so winch the tractor back to the anchor. Are you doing a lot of short pulls?

Good on you. What comes around goes around:thumbup1: Last Thursday i was out on the side arm flail doing veges. Ice cream van pulls along side stops and makes me a free ice cream. Bit of a reach to grab it from the van but still. Monday a young girl broke down right behind my flail i stopped and helped her. She was in floods of tears. Helped her get the AA to the car and waited with her till the AA got there. 40 mins it took but it was the right thing to do and really that's what counts.

Use to use a diesel heated pressure washer to clean forest machines. Boy did it clean all the crap off.

Think treetop forestry are the log max agents.

Thought so. The H73 is a great head done loads of birch with one. I think any head will debark chestnut coppice if its young. Dead of winter job to coppice it i would of thought or tearing of bark will happen.
-
does that have tracks rather than rollers?
-
Used a Warratah head. They're basically John Deere Heads (or Timberjack) rebadged and red. As for log max they have a good reputation and do some massive heads it wasn't until i googled them that they do some smaller ones.

Cor those rings are expensive enough now they have two uses they'll go up 4 times.
-
Nice work. Could it not of fitted in one?

Hi Broke my 550 break band. I seem to remember that the early ones had issues with them snapping and they built a new one for them. Is this right and its a warranty issue? It's a 2013 version so maybe it has the upgraded one. Dont want to spend £20 on a new one if i don't have to. Ta A

I'm with NFU. 07 Double cab Navara doing around 20k miles a year on a commercial policy. I've got 7 years no claims and im 29. I pay best part of 900 a year. That seems to be the best price too.
-
yes its empty.
-
I think it's only a 10T trailer.
-
MF 390 Jon your fave. Only the 2wd version though. I think its about 450-500kg in weights on the front.
-
D'oh.

I don't know. I don't have it, i used someones who had a AT Osbornes guarding kit and they had it. Hence i suggest it as they can see in the dark and dont get sticks poking through the grill into the lights:thumbdown: Since the sheet is 500x500 and you want maybe 125x50 you should be able to stack it one behind the other.
