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.

Polycarbonate Sheet - Direct Plastics Limited I'm thinking of mounting it over the wing mirror glass somehow (not worked that out yet). At £13+VAT for the mirror glass need to find a solution to breaking them so easily in the woods.
-
Oh and on the front guard don't hind the lights behind a lot of metal bars. It makes it an real pain to go on the road after about 3:30 in the winter. Instead put a bit of Lexane or margard or infornt of them at makes a big difference. Nice guarding job though.
-
I'd weld the tabs on the main frame and tap them out with a M12 thread. Then bolt them to those tabs. It means they're much easier to get off to wash the windows properly and all the sticks that get in there.
-
I do like the Valmet 8050. That is a very tidy example.
-
I think for the last two years the Ash trees have not been looking great around Hertfordshire.
-
I don't think so. I've used many Valtra/Valmet set ups and if they had cages they were all different. Unless they're made by Wilsons then they're the same and rather good. I think our guarding is 40mm and i've had a tree come across it so it does work.
