I have an 18" bar on my 660 for logging up:thumbup:

I assure you you're not the only one who wants to get on. How is someone running around meaning they get it? I'd rather they asked questions, worked safely got all the proper techniques down than ran around. Techniques first and speed will come with practice. A days work is a marathon not a sprint All the accidents i've had are because of rushing. Propping up a rake, sitting on facebook all day all big no nos and i and everyone on here would say their all unacceptable.

Sending you a message. -
They are out there. We've got our selves a fantastic lad who works very very hard. Few years he'll be out on his own earning big bucks.

Why run back from the chipper? Doesn't take a lot to twist an ankle and then its cost a lot more than the 10 mins you may save running to the chipper. Wasted energy that could be spent dragging a big bit of brash with lots of little bits on it.

Just buy one of Jon's 660s while your there!

Will keep an eye open. Your only down the road from me. Shame we're getting a lot more of this our way now:thumbdown:

Hi I'd be interested. Little late to ring i feel but i thought I'd put in a note of interest. Do a lot of big hardwood felling. Put a few pictures up just to show. Don't have any big kit but we could source that locally? How many trees and what sort of DBH and height we talking. The pics are Sweet Chestnut and Beech but done a lot of Oak too.

Is that the battery powered Husky top handle? Any good?
-
A few from Finland.

I had to clean up a big Beech wind throw the other week. Had a massive wasps nest in it. I got stung so about 4 times they got so angry we had to leave it. Went back a week later and the nest was still there and they got angry and i got stung more:( Had to go and clear up an Ash that had lost its top and was blocking a BOAT and on inspecting it we found a Hornets nest in it. After the wasp incident we left the Ash for a while for the blighters to die off. Oh i once felled a Ash onto a bees nest in that was in an old rotted stump. Funny enough they weren't happy and swarmed.

Pfanner fly zip damaged on 2nd outing :angry:
Brushcutter replied to normandylumberjack's topic in General chat
My Old 2008 Strech Airs had the zip go after about 3 months. Took them to the local dry cleaners and they fitted a new heavy duty zip for 8 quid. That's not been a problem since. Got some Gladiators 2 type A at the moment despite the tighter fit never had a problem with them. -
You tried Rod Wilson or Tree life?
-
Pop it into an engineering firm see if they can make you one up? Might be expensive might not be. I needed a pin for a topper and it was over £115+vat for it. A £10 cat 3 pin and a £20 quid to a guy to put it through the lathe.

Supertack bio from Clarks

That is a big bit of kit. It was about 3 years ago that i found out from the saw doctors that it was illegal to use diesel as a saw lubrication. I guess a H&S thing. I can see the point having done it hair arms stank of diesel. You'd end up with a film of it all over you. I saw plant oil Plantoil - Home Page it's good.

I've never been in a new fancy JD. I'd love to do some field work in one where they're at home. Too expensive to take into the woods.

I know the 390 has massive fan club. I'll admit the 4wd one make good forestry tractors. I just don't like them. Cab is small, the seats are crap they're noisy. I spend a lot of time in tractors and i'll always take a valtra or a newer massy over a 390. Thats a 2wd version.
-
To add to stuck shame. I was rescue winch tractor who came and rescued crappy 390 from the dell bomb crater that it fell down bracken mowing.
-
That was my first thought as well. Edge of lakes soft valtra heavy. Soft lake + heavy Valtra = Sunken Valtra.

Things get worse before they get better.

I could of driven that out.

Sawmill.

Hi I'm asking for a mate of mine who is in need of some larch. He uses it for chainsaw carving, and he uses a lot. Needs to be around 25-35cm mid diameter. Anybody has any leads that i could pass along. Needs to be in the SE ideally he said he'd have a lorry load of the right stuff. Cheers Andy
