Not me anymore, don't do logs. Try landgard woodfuels at Kirkby fletham.

Fair doos, I'll take it from you who knows then. Hrs seemed a bit suss to me at 1st at less than a 100hrs a year but if you say it's good then someone will get a good machine at a lump less than a new one.

Tidy but not 12k tidy, maybe 8...

Only time should be if the climber brings more gear to the party imo as it's a team, one cannot function without the other and without cooperation nothing works well.

To me invitation is what earns you more money not having a wallet full of nptc cards, pay my regular lads 80a day all they need to bring is ppe and lunch I provide the rest, if they go above and beyond they get a bonus be it £, breakfast or help getting new stuff. Some people just get 'it' whatever that actually is and without realising it make my days easier or run smoothly so makes me more often by doing the same thing as the next lad but without any drama or just simply quicker like raking up, fueling saws while I talk to the client. As said a good groundsman is very different to someone who turns up and drags brash so is worth more and will get more work.

But it never moved that much in the wind when it was smaller!?!

I put a warrior 1200 on my other 130 and it's proved an excellent winch with the bonus of built in remote control so if your using it to pull a stem over the cutter can be in control from the stump especially handy if out of line of site.
-
Sorry to hear about the situation you've had to deal with, never good. On a positive, what a machine! Saw the vid you put on youtube of it and it looks so handy! Glad your helping out a yungun and passion on some knowledge, speak soon bud
-
Sorry Joel, didn't want to hijack your thred but we have so Is yours a 10 or 12m? Looking a lot better now than it did, a decent set if wheels and treds can transform the look of a landy. That's 1mean winch in the back of that landy! She must have been a linesman's construction vehicle in a former life.
-
14.5m at full reach jon.
-
That's what I want to do with mine as soon as I get time bob along with rear and corner windows guards.. Looks nice Joel, handy that they can tow as often you end up taking two vehicles to site anyway but now you have the bones that 1 has a cherrypicker on it. Even it you can't reach the whole tree at least you can deal with the heavy trunk section without the need for painful time on spikes.

Neighbour actually complained about the extra light getting into her house after removing some large conifers as now her husband could see all the dust so shed actually have to clean properly now ;-)
-
Going well thanks jon, might have too if I can get away. -
Worth it if you couple it up to a trailer and work it on the rite jobs, hauled out 65 conifers from a rear garden in 2days which produced 21m q of chip and around 8ton of logs, imagine having to hand ball that lot! Ow and only used 4ltrs of fuel....
-
Where were that john? Starbeck, where ells. I did have bob and hardisty with me so that might explain some of it
-
Find someone who cleans house rugs and get them to wash them as they will have heavy capacity drum machines used to dirt.
-
That's the waggon driver/crane opperata, good bloke but must spend way too much time on his own in that cab. ;-)
-
Do they mostly go for land clearance company's in the US or chip producers?
-
Talking of keeping backs happy this did! Video to follow from the whole dismantle.
-
That's impressive! Bet you don't sell many in the UK.
-
Quite an insulting one from a few years back when I worked for someone else, out at a job in the big mog and a neighbour comes over and asked if we do scrap removal as well as he had some old fridges he wanted rid of?
-
Not half as interesting as sneezing and hitting it with your visor can be, probably one dropped 2" but felt like 2m when already disorientated by the sneeze :eek:
-
Spiderjack is good but not a good starting point as can quite easily scare the poop out of you if your just gaining experience up a tree especially on delicate limb walks.
-
Zigzag, not had any back problems since I ditched my hitchclimber and started using this, don't ask why as the motion is similar but it works for me. Prussic, pah!!
-
Gon very quiet, must be up too something ;-)
