    Most of those timber will rot out really quickly exposed to the weather. The other thing you need to consider is the strength over a 20' span. I think Oak is your best bet. Alder might be Ok. If i was doing it i'd use Elm for anything in contact with water and sweet chestnut or oak for the structural work.

    That is brutal full contact medieval battles.

    576xpg 20" bar. Nuff said.

    How is reenacting different to LARPIng funny though.

    Jealousy would be my bet.

    Caught the last 5 mins. What a lovely garden at the end their. Nice to see the right tree for the right place message.

    We had a clevis hitch on the chipper it's self for towing a trailer. Never did use it though. I think all you'll need is an extension for the drawbar remember the weight you can tow goes down the further you extend from the back axle. You could weld one up yourself but it would need to be strong enough for the job.

    Roof mount crane and a tractor trailer will get it out. You'll need a low sided tractor trailer with some home made bolster pins. 4x4s work well. You could just handball it onto some tractor forks.

    Love the soundtrack. Very clever about felling the stick into the truck.

    You do need to work out air space in the stack. You need to measure a section and count then number of billets and the area taken up by those billets. Best thing is to get yourself a copy of the blue book. That has how to measure the stacking coefficent. Treesource Silviculture, Woodland Creation & Management Cost per tonne varies. £30-60 quid a tonne. Really depends on this little equation. standing price(m3)+Felling cost (m3)+extraction cost (m3)+profit = roadside price.

    I'd of thought £4/Hoppus was a little on the high side.

    Where abouts and for how long?
  13. Brushcutter
    Ah yes they are ALO forks and grab. Two long forks two short. Have a cherry tree 4 in 1 bucket. Very nice.

    I didn't realise they were. Tried asking an agri supplier for one?

    Give an Ostio/physio a phone call tomorrow and they'll sort you out.

    Saw one on the Rytech roadshow. I can't quite remember what caused my reservations with it but i think it was the bearings on claw. I thought the Albutt log grab was far better for the money. Have a look at single claws to go on a set of pallet forks. Still the bearing is the weakpoint but so so versatile

    How do the resin inserts hold up as the bars wear a bit? I have 13" solid and light weight. Just wondering if their are any longevity issues with resin inserts. Other than then potentially popping out if you bend the bar.

    I would put much faith in a chipper that says it will do 8" but yet will go on a cat 1 linkage. I'd of thought you wouldn't have more than 30hp at the back end and a lift of maybe 1000kg although i don't know for sure. Look at 3-5" chippers if you need one.
  20. Brushcutter
    Why chip it? Leave it in habitat piles or just cut it down flat on forest floor. You'll need a bit of dead hedging to go around coppice stools too. Also you may need some back fill in hedge laying too. What you don't use can't you just burn? It's what I'd do.

    Riko UK :: Uniforest 40EH - 40kN Forestry Winch Winch Krpan 4,5 EH - Krpan The problem with getting a winch is that nobody does demos. They will go out their way to arrange for you to go and see one of their winches working. However your closest one maybe a drive away. The other thing is that there is no subsitute for putting the one you want on your tractor and driving around with it. According to the specs of those they should go on a small tractor.

    To be honest do you really need a 70cc saw to start off with? I'll be honest and say i did but it was heavy very very heavy by the end of the day. I got a 346 shortly after and well the 70CC saw rarely came out. If you want something very versatile get a 60cc saw the 560xpg. Have a 13" 15" 18" bar for it and you'll be able to tackle most things with less weight, less vibes and less fuel consumption. You'll have the option of running 3/8 chain on it as well. Don't know your experience but felling with a 70cc saw is a lot quicker than a 50/60cc saw. When your learning it makes a big difference.

    10.5 tonnes...hard to tip. Bet still grabbing out at 10m and lifting up anything made you grip the seat.
  24. Brushcutter
    Did it ever fall over? I take it that the wheels are water balasted as is see a lack of wheel & belly weights.
  25. Brushcutter
    The one in my pic is a Krpan 9.5 tonne EH winch with radio remote. Amazing bit of kit, if a little heavy.
