I want one [emoji7] Bet that's a fair investment for a grinder!

6 pot around 185hp, 50k box fancy air cab suspension and a rarity in propper front breaks so if you push that peddle to hard your In the footwell! Just need to park everything neater and her the timber sold out as soon as it comes in!

That's exactly how this ended up joining the fleet, especially since had been looking for a while anyway.

Anybody ever thought about mounting one of these on a 360 to give you a walking foot if you tilt it back and the ability to hold trees out straight I'm away of all the advantages of fixed grabs but also all the advantages of a swinging grabs like how we have it set up in my previous post.

So adding lube decreased how tight they are so am I getting this correct should lesson the risk of overtightening and causing the countersunk heads cracking the blades apart but surely not leaving them slack so flapping around in the breeze

This is why you NEVER get in the back of the van with the chipper running, just never know when something could let go! Had a old farmi PTO machine spit out one of the twig breakers which went straight through the alley headboard, back window of the van and lodge itself nicely in the dashboard, would easily have killed someone if they were taking a piss in the chip.

Possible 'plastic bag on track' ??♂️

Are Arb Method Statements the biggest waste of time ever?
Gray git replied to benedmonds's topic in Trees and the Law
"Has the arborist thought about where the site office is going to go? How large is the office going to be? The architect won't know. The planning consultant won't know. Where are site vehicles going to park during construction? Where will site materials be offloaded & stored? How will the construction be phased - the previous points may all change during the project?" Don't be nieve, if course we all know where these will go, in the normally only clear space on site that someone has kindly already fenced off under that handy shady tree to help keep the office or fuel store cool! The amount of times I arrive on site and think wtf can't you guys read the same paperwork I've been given, it's just another tick box paper shuffling exercise until someone is actually willing to stand up within the planning authority and say no to this. -
Local agriculture supplier, Sam turner's but these guys sell in bulk I think Stokbord Prices | Buy Recycled Plastic Sheets | Solway Recycling WWW.SOLWAYRECYCLING.CO.UK Stokbord Prices 3mm, 6mm, 9mm,12mm and 18mm Recycled Plastic Sheets from £16 per sheet no minimum order
-
No really light, won't soke up water or splinter up around the edges like Ply and more flexible on uneven ground, we have used the 10mm stuff for a few years for the 360 excavator until recently spent over 2k on propper 16mm trac mats for the Merlo.
-
Get some cheap thin stock mat, prob only need 3mm for size of your machine and run on which will avoid it happening To remove track marks we have resulted to a steam cleaner when our digger left marks and someone wasn't happy, quickly worked out better to spend a few hundred on sheets that are vertualy indistructable. that

I remember questioning that as my 25" torque wrench didn't go high enough for it. Our bandit 90xp is if I remember correctly 85ft pounds which is 115nm and that's fairly F T! Was chatting to a engineering friend and she reckons that over 250nm you need some form of thread lube to get a truer reading as any imperfections in surface can throw out being accurate and driving something with a tapered head into hardened steel plate like that is asking for problem especially if you add vibration and impact into the mix.

That's why I and many others no longer own forsts, it's a bit of a lottery what sort of service you actually get from them, guess it depends how vocal and popular you are on various social media and if your likely to get more machines off them. I keep warning people who post pictures of feeding with a digger about this invalidate feed system and disks warranty, towing off road can invalidate chassis warranty, washing too often or not often enough - paintwork, feeding excessively long material that can stress the hopper or upper feed motor, invalidate. Green or brown timber with or without leaves, hardwood or softwood chipped to fast or too slowly or in fact used on any day other than under a full planetary alignment. Can you guess I had problems with them yet [emoji51][emoji28]
-
We just go bulk through our local dealer and even splashed out on a nice box to keep em all locked up in. Very fair price I feel compared to getting a few at a time.
-
Those holes do look way to close to the edge.

Wow 60ton handballing, sod that! How bigs your trailer?
-
Apologies to the OP for digression from the main topic.[emoji51]
-
-
Can't tow a double rig like that on the road so still need two tractors to get everything too and from site, we just do this as can fill trailer in less than 30min on brash and in 15 on timber so to hitch up and then swap back the trailer would take too long.
-
Not as big as our trailer you wouldn't, 30+m3[emoji6] Only works if you have plenty of room to the side and like in this picture with limited room wouldn't have worked with either the trailer or tractor in way
-
We get a big hizo in for clearance jobs and have operated one for many hrs so all to familia how easy they are to maintain blade wise but unfortunately not perfect for us with affectively being side feed as our on our custom trailer rear feed is ideal. Again ideally I'd be able to afford to have one of each for matching to the job
-
Could have been, definitely whisper blade's, chip really well on smaller material but not too sure about how they hold up on continuous large timber, traded it in against a 3 straight blade machine now as just cheaper to maintain.
-
Looks familiar

Took these out our Schliesing a while ago New boots, correctly tightened very clean faces as use one of these Sometimes it just happened but at £750 a set for this machine it's painful. When I ran a forst we had a few sets of blades crack but never let go completely and eventually worked out it was sets that had been sharpened, never fully got to the bottom of it as had bigger problems to deal with but always suspected that the regrind changed the temper of the blades slightly.

Anyone got a petrol saw bench for sale
Gray git replied to Rwhiteheadfirewood's topic in Firewood forum
Ah, give them a call as I know they have other dealer's scattered around. Mate of mine just got one of these and wasn't stupid money and just got delivered on a pallet.
