Looks like over mature Norway Spruce.
-
Company near me had pink chippers for that very reason.
-
Plant oils' bio stuff is like glue or at least it was last time i used it a few years back. Just got a price on a drum and it isn't cheap.
-
Still only 1 wheel off the ground though is it:001_tongue: When you get one whole side off the ground that a wobble:lol: I like the winch. Why does it use a chain rather than wire rope. Seems strange.
-
Never seen that video some good info in there. Eastern Europe seems to be where most of the 820 seem to be now. -
Got any more pics of the winch? I've never seen one are they any good.
-
Clenching moment for sure, although not the most shocking wobble picture i've seen.
-
What sort of size? normally goes for pallets or for kinderling
-
Bit of rot or some sort of inclusion in the top two. Red log?

Flail mower is what your after. I had a demo of one last year it had a roller on so you could get a nice striped finish. You could adjust the roller position to adjust the cut height. Did ok on courser material such as bracken and bramble. I'd of had two sets of flails though one for neat grass cutting and one for doing rides as its very easy to hit a log and chip a boot flail.

Load sensing pump sounds expensive? I take it thats a got a moving swash plate in it. Rather than a fixed gear pump. Yes to go EH you'd need a new valve bank with solinoids on top of the valves. I'd imagine that the whole lot could come from forwarder for breaking.

Have a look at the flow rates required for the cranes. You may need a pto pump to get the best out of them if the MB trac hydraulics aren't too powerful. Might be worth seeing the cost of full electro hydraulic as well. Adds a degree of complexity but also add massive ease of operation and increases productivity.

Is it one of the 50 series ones or even earlier than that? I learnt on a 5050 5m of reach and i with about 12 levers. Oh what a joy a 560tl with the joysticks was. Given the choice of the cranab, kesla or moheda cranes i think it would come down to who gave me the most bang for my buck as it were. They're all fantastic forestry cranes. I'd have a slight leaning towards a double extension cranab as thats what i had on an 820 i drove and it was fantasticly quick and smooth. If its a parallel moheda crane i'd be put off as despite their increasing popularity i really think parallel is better suited to harvesting rather than forwarding.

It just seems really bad on these new hi tech saws though. Nothing like the amount in the 346 and 372.
-
My 550 and 576 all seem to let a fine dust through the filter to see in the throat of the carb. Done it since new i don't think they're short a seal. I do wonder if its worth getting a black filter rather than a yellow one. I think they're a finer mesh.

I see a lot of aw jenkins trucks around Hemel & St. Albans for the last month or so.
-
Second hand is your only option and expect to pay for it as they're always in demand.
-
Big Big wood on Ebay!! Make some Big Big Planks or Mushrooms!!

Well they've dropped 8k off. -
I think there is an O ring that seals the base of the crane to the slew box. That may be the offending seal.
-
Tyre weld. Either way nice CS100 and unlucky on the costly recovery.
-
Has it tipped over at any point? Is the hydraulic oil level going down? Is the gear oil going down? You may have a lost a slew cylinder seal. Does it leak on a right or left slew?
-
Which model is it?
-
I'd guess Natural England would be the place to start.

Other great things about keeping them on the cable is when your dragging uphill and you loose traction just drop the load track on winch them back up. Strangly this is normally most useful on really big heavy logs. The ones you don't want to drag on the cable. Thats how drum bearings bend. I think i get what you saying about choakers when they get suck under a log and they need a jolt to present the hook to undo. or when they are just dug into the wood and into the mud under the weight of the log.

I was always told not to skid logs on the winch cable as it's bad for the drum break. As TCD said the cookie should be winch side as it stop the pull if it knocks the little plunger sensor on the winder. It's a tidy looking winch. I've finally managed to find the pulling limit of the 9.5 tonne winch. Stalled the tractor trying to drag this very large lump of Ash.
