Yeh very early, obviously my brain hasn't started functioning again as hadn't ment to post it on this thread
-
Sorry posted that in wrong place

Looks really good Your going to have to stop teasing us with photos and get some real working videos of this kit showing itself off so we can appreciate it fully.
-
I like the 4 arms rather than two on the nisula and twin rams definitely increase the crushing forse and I like it can be locked with a simple value in vertical or horizontal and like you say the price is quite sensible, could do with a damping link in it as swings about a lot more in vertical than a normal grab.
-
I see what your saying and yes I agree to part, I can reach up 27ft at full reach and snip a top off and hold it vertical till near the ground then reach up and hold a pole while a chainsaw can step cut the bottom, move away to a safe distance then I can lay the pole down. The knife is easily removed for this and the grab can be locked in vertical or horizontal position for what the task is but then I can easily swap back to the normal grab for loading timber or a 500ltr clamshell for chip and stump grindings.

Waved goodbye to my old botex yesterday but have a new shiny slightly modified toy to be playing with, big thanks to Simon at wilsons for organising it and John there engineer for coming down yesterday and settling it up for me. Sorry not the best photos but was loosing the light by the time I got up to the woods for a quick play.

Open the hood, remove the springs and open the rolers with the lift bar and wedge open with a suitable piece of timber, if you look at the back if the roller frame there is some groves that frequently get filled with crud and stop it closing fully, not always the easiest to clean out but will sort your problems.

B trac the vermeer dealer were ment to be the sherrill UK distributor at one time, not sure if they still are.

The black did look very smart
-
Could just be the brash bars need to be lengthened as cabs are all basically the same size on the 8000 range. Really easy to strip the panels of if you fancy changing the colour of it too as that green definitely isn't to everyones taste

And that nice new exhaust cover [emoji16]

I've used the Stine sholder straps on my new tribe harness and they are very comfortable and easy to take on and off depending on the job.

...One day ..All street trees could be like this..... ;)

Where is that Khriss, quite unusual, would like to see what it looks like with a years leaf on it. -
Amazing woman who should be a inspiration to people who think they are having a hard time when they actually have a fairly easy life and incidentally who our daughter is named after.

Haven't had a useful how too thred like this that I've seen for quite some time, the way we seem to loose saw strops I might be giving this a go but without the ring as we run 540's so have a high clip on the saw itself. Top job, [emoji106]
-
That's some machine you have, what's the main difference between the two felling heads?look forward to seeing the Liebherr out to work again and I bet you've had no lost time compensation from the insurance company either.
-
Thanks, simple is good. The jak is very similar to the nisula I have already priced up so will be taking to wilsons shortly about this as hadn't actually realised they sold them even though I'd said to Simon I was thinking of fitting one to the botex.
-
Sorry to derail slightly but do you have any recommendations or avoidance list for swinging tilting shear grabs as thinking of getting one for the forwarding trailer to clear roadside and trackside regen without having men on the road cutting and chipping.
-
Our female apprentice tryed the lady's version and didn't like the feel at all, although not an experienced climber she has tryed quite a few harnesses at collage and just didn't gell with it and ended up getting a petzl. I quite like the look of the big leg pads as I climb in a new tribe harness that has these and find them very comfortable.
-
Do you mean the little deflection pipe on the exit pipe to send fumes away from you if your operating from that side? Got one of them... [emoji6] Or is this something new I haven’t spotted yet [emoji848]
-
A little more of the logs being cut would have been nice but looks a very good operation you have going.
-
Don't know what that means but ok thanks

Timber forwarding and winching costs
Gray git replied to Root and branch sw's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I hope that isn't felling as well or really isn't worth it as no way can a 2 man team fell, sned, winch, crosscut then forward a wagon load a day with compact machines at that rate I'd need to be hitting 2 wagon load a day to start making it worth while. What gdh says sounds more realistic.
