I have a load i could sell you, I bought them for a garden centre who were buying them, but then they went elsewhere (10p a net cheaper) so I have a load left. I have no intention of using them...

Just don't bother Matty, go with Kilworths if you want a small one, they know alpines and will have an alpine adapter kit off the shelf, they are great to deal with. And for the big one I'd seriously look at the oehler, same design type as the uniforest/krpan/tajfun but german made..

I have the uniforest 5.5 tonner on the front of the valtra. The wiring loom which has a circuit board blew, so I went to get a new one under warranty, they wanted me to send the whole winch down on a pallet at my expense! and in order for me to get the part I must buy a new one and send the old one back at which point they would refund if they deemed the part to be at fault. That kind of service just isn't worth having. Kilworths are miles better. I bodged a repair myself and carried on like that. Nothing wrong with the uniformest winches but the service is awful. The guy at Forest Machine Services seems really switched on, and a local gut to me has the Oehler, he really rates it and he'd doing estate work and a lot of big trees...

Oehler. Forest machine services just down the road from you Matty. If not that then Tajfun. Uniforest is ok but the dealer is crap. I think the Oehler is a really nice winch and you can't beat buying local. I bought my uniforest at the app because the Oehler was dearer, wish I had just spent a few more quid. You can't beat a bit of German engineering.. As for features radio remote and a hydraulic unwinder are a must. Forest machine services Ltd – Hexham, Northumberland Seilwinden

I have an n series, it's a good tractor, but it feels huge compared to the 6400 it replaced, the 6400 turns on a sixpence.

Greenmech 1928 Road tow. ArbTrader Arborists Classifieds I have dropped the price on this now. Its a 2009 machine, currently working every day, available as of this week.

BCS are good, I'm on my second one.
-
Nice! There's some drawbar weight on that heizohack Mike.
-
I just bought one so I hope its good. I was very impressed with the demo.
-
Kleber are about as good as you can get without going full forestry spec. Not the cheapest but pretty tough and a good ride too.

Mac King's infamous rope trick ???

Lovely vid that Reg. Nicely shot.

We've been cooking on a reyburn for 10 years now, it's been great. With the long fla,e from wood you can get oven and hotplate temperatures in excess of most other ovens. I have had over 300o out of ours, makes great pizza. I can't comment on the others as I haven't used them.. On thing worth mentioning is that the Rayburn stays in overnight no problem, I have heard that some others don't.

Could be thuja plicata but it looks like lawsons to me too.

Life's too short. Get on with running your own business better and forget about it. There will always be Cowboys out there.

Isn't that the TW you're thinking of?
-
We demoed one the other day, I chucked a big multiple fork in thinking that will stop it and it just crunched it up no bother. It is very impressive, I'm attracted by the 3 year warranty too. Plus if you get a breakdown they will ship the part direct and allow you to bill them for your time to fit it. That's a big plus rather than have to take it to some crapy dealer.
-
Sorry guys we sold this today, best to phone if you want to get in first.. There will be more of course, I'll post it up again when there is..

Bump!

What year is it, the 2009 shape has a common fault of one of the hoses rubbing through, it runs down and drips near the water pump...
-
I would imagine that to snap one you have to work it hard, carrying heavy loads off road fro prolonged periods. I think most of the failures have been in Australia which says a lot.
