Gray git replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
Some time off work will be my treat Jon as the last 2 months have just been crazy! And some good quality wireless headphones so I can listen to music at home when doing paperwork without disturbing anyone else or be able to hear the crap they are watching on telly! -
Bit too skinny for me, curves is where's it at!

Redwood removal today, large merip infested beech had gone over and give it a good thrashing on its way down and had left quite a deep rub mark on its side. National parks tree officer decided to lift the tpo and allow the removal because of the worries of failure, nice target drop zone in the old horse Walker. Started tidying the beech but that will be to finish in the new year.

This is the same as my old machine and what I'm thinking of getting again just for ease of use to do a few logs each night over the summer and build up a good stock again and for on site stuff when I don't want to tie up the truck to run the other splitter. Only problem I had was the cables from the handles needed replacing about ever 12month which isn't that expensive but fidderly compared to rods used in this 1 I also looked at.
-
Used to have 1 before it got nicked and it was a brilliant machine, very productive with the footpeddle to lower the blade and hold the log before splitting, just been pricing up a new one against what else is available but keep coming back to the fact it's faster .
-
Yes it is as mine has both the roler between the felling dog's and the aluminium 1 as normal saws have local dealer should be able to look it up on computer for you and get it ordered .

Makes it feel a bit more Christmas like don't it! Bit less than we had bud but the kids love it.
-
Got to about 4" and came down quick which caused the problems. Yeh we have had the extreme weather this month!

My house, thisevening bud. Took me 2hrs to get home from town which is normally a 10min drive, landy was fine but people out in softroaders with low profile slicks were constantly getting stuck reving the tits of the moters when tickover and decent tires do the job nicely!
-
Snow creating a bit of problems today with people incapable of driving sensibly in it, kids loved it!

Whats a chain brake? 😜

Not available to view here. 👎

Wouldn't go quite that far, just the only 1 daft anough to do it! Some fantastic trees have been lost for sure and it's mostly the scabby 1ns left but the landowner has almost been talked into leaving these or at least making safe and replanting around them to create a mixed age/species woodland.

Some serious windblow today to cut our way into a forest to recover 2 360s that have been putting in a new road, big trees and apart from a smashed mirror and light, a bent exhaust and a bit of a dint in a panel no damage, couldn't have been luckier, once the big girl got freed and on helping push the stumps overwe really cleared some tonnage of oak beech and larch. The 2 saws are a 390xp with 28"bar and 088 with 36" for scale.

Helped a mate out on Monday and he was running normal petrol with the old Red Sthil oil, I'd forgotten how much it stinks even from 20ft up the tree. So glad I made the change and stuck with it in all my gear.
-
Nice large hanging branch thismorning about 20" and only just hanging on to the parent tree but well tangled at the opposite side of the road. Then remove some big hangers after a beech had failed into two others, good bit of traversing from Ben.
-
Had mine done and half my knee cap taken out after splitting it, still hurts like hell if I kneel in the wrong spot and occasionally collapses much to the amusement of my staff and friends but perfect otherwise and has never restricted what I do but good physio is the key and not overdoing it too soon.
-
But it a 4x4, can't understand why it got stuck I agree bob it's maddening sometimes!
-
👍 thanks for the reply, interesting stuff.

Should still give a vast improvement in view over a standard cab position even if you still have to look up a bit every so often, will she be taking the mulcher head as well as I imagine being able to look down onto the material rather than straight at it especially roady will be a huge advantage. One last but what could be a daft questions, can it still be used to dig be it not heavy earth shifting but more grading work with that top ram and boom length configuration?
-
I can see that been fantastic on embankment clearance projects, fast, precise and comfortable. Can the cab also tilt back to give you a clearer view up when cutting at full hight as in 1st picture? Will look forward to seeing some pictures of it in action and hopefully a few bit of video also.

Out of the fox's den into the wolves lair more like 😜
