    Have you tried Revolution Oils in Hemel Jerry. We get both 32 and 42 from there and are quite reasonable. However if your after HT60 transmission there's only one place for that and its expensive.

    Bandit. Strong, tough and simple.

    What camera do you use David those shot are super.
  4. Brushcutter
    A few more not as good though.

    Good luck lads. If you don't have one already get a 3pl winch it will make your lives so much easier. Uniforest do a nice one which has a clevis hitch on the butt plate meaning you can take your winch and forwarding trailer to site on the same machine.

    Thanks guys. Yes Jerry they are at Hatfield.

    3000 odd watts of off camera lighting on a lighting tower.

    So pictures of some nice parkland veterans.

    Very wise words. Also you really need to be a forwarder driver first as the chances of getting in the door as a harvester driver are quite slim.

    If you can drive a 360 take the FMO 1.1 test which will let you use one on most site. Get your harvester provisional permit from the FC and try to find a contractor to take you on. It's quite a hard area to get into to be honest. Yep. If you can see the top knife it's about to get very expensive. Don't feed towards the window. Never venture off the brash mat. If your driving a John Deere and you hear more than five or 6 clicks on the frame break and you find your self at a very funny angle think very carefully what do next and hand on; as your about to fall over.

    You've got a few options: 1. Go to Finland and do a 1 year course on them. 2. Go to Sweden and do a 1 year course on how to use them. 3. Pay almost as much money as you would for 1 or 2 but do a 6 week course at Baroney college in Scotland. 4. Learn to use a forwarder and work your way upto harvester. 5. Get very good at using a digger and try to get into it that way.

    Oh dear.

    Yep. Problem is all of the mature Ash is leafless now. The young stuff has hung onto it's leaf and looks ok. If we get it will be disastrous. 5000 acres is a lot to manage and there is a lot of public movement to worry about too.

    Slightly embarrassed by the squiffy logs in the front bay and being a gap. Good load though.
  15. Brushcutter
    At home David. Making a bit of space along a ride right next to our veteranisation project.

    Botex Power. 2 bays of 3m on there and boy was it heavy. Only a few Scots Pine to remove.

    That's quite some lean and a lot of tree. If you were to fell that into the field i'd try to find someone with an electro-hydraulic winch. I think you'll need more power and control than a tractor and rope will provide.

    Wilsons? Tried Wilmer or Henderson maybe they have a scrapper sitting around. Kotmasu forest might have some reconditioned ones. Bet they cost more than a Wilsons one though.

    I've felled some very dodgy trees over roads B roads but never an A road. I'd recommend a electrohydraulic winch if you can get your hands on one. Climb up set steel wire choker clip to the the winch cable. pre-tension and use the remote to keep the tension on as you do the felling cut.
  20. Brushcutter
    That's what i do. Works a treat quick and simple.
  21. Brushcutter
    Any reason you put the winch on the front? Great bits of kit those winches did you have the wireless remote? Been pulling over some big Oaks with the 9 tonne one.
  22. Brushcutter
    70mm for the bolster pins and 100mm for the bed.
  23. Brushcutter
    I saw those working in Finland. They make so much noise. Only time i didn't have my camera with me was when the dam thing was doing the lines near our harvesting site.
  24. Brushcutter
    Good on you Charlie. It's in one ear and out the other with my lot:thumbdown:
  25. Brushcutter
    Yes they do.
