  1. Can't argue with that logic 👍 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Why do dogs chase own tails Why are pot noodle pots so big when you only fill them half way with water Why at my age do I still find fart jokes so funny Why why why Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

  5. If tax is your biggest outgoing you ain't playing the game rite, get a better accountant. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Wages, definitely wages which is why I like investing in equipment that can cut down on manpower and still retains its value. Insurance is also a massive outgoing with 4 vehicles and 2 tractors onto of public, employees, plant etc. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Depending how you want to transport it this looks good Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Back in the spruce for the last two days, big fury edge trees, plenty of winching out from where the harvester can't go and the joy of thick fog today, pictures taken when it brightened up a bit. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Thick fog aswell as the rain made today interesting as when you dropped the tree you realised you couldn't actually see the tip clearly anymore. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Your not Including the extra damage to a wet site that could end up needing reinstating. Forwarder has been running the track through our site all last week with very little damage even with climbing tracks on, today- torn to shreds and rutting even the hardcore!

  11. Is it volume of usable timber or volume of material being removed. So say clearing a large are of less than 8" mixed species trees and chipping the lot to be removed producing 30qube of chip on an industrial estate who have lpa planning consent would or wouldn't need 1?

  12. Very nice, that'll help save your back! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Mad they need a crain to build s crane to build a crane! Still a baby compared to the 1 they had to lift the bridge in over the A1 near us, close to 1000ton apparently and in top 5 biggest Road going cranes in Europe. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Dread to think what the cost in that lot is a day!! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. No, I believe he's at spectrum plant now. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. Tried the back in the dark visit and spend 2hrs on a slippery hillside looking for 1 with no joy, was well pissed off! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. I wish! Thick freezing fog until mid afternoon for us, bit of sun but still bitterly cold up on Moor tops. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Didn't you get that nearly 2 years ago! Remember you showing it to me! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. It's a time thing or rather lack of time thing where I end up prioritising the jobs as.... Have to do, Need to do Could do with doing Should do Want to do Would like to do Sod it I'm working a Sunday to do. Really ought to get someone else to do Pay someone to do. Or something like that 😉 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Fantastic, it's still attached to the pallet it arrived on 😚 Completely changed how we did the job it was intended for, then decide the massy wasn't going to stop so didn't fit it with intention of fitting to next tractor then got valtra which had front links so could take farmi winch, now might be keeping massy so might still go on that and if not definitely going to keep as will have something come up where I can modify it onto something to be useful..... Probably 😜 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Darn good winch though, very well built, used 1 for years and it took everything we gave it I believe it's still going after 19 years now. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. It's a igland blade, just picked it up 2nd hand and is useful to nudge stuff out the way without having to turn round to use the winch, not tried stacking timber up with it yet but really want to make a decent nose guard for valtra 1st save putting something through radiator! It's a manual farmi jl501 which is proving a good bit of kit. Would have liked a all singing remote control set up but at well over twice the price just couldn't see the justification for how much we actually did at the time but then typically then get a whole heap more work for it..... Better picture of blade for you Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Back in the woods clearing some room and winching in some hard to reach trees before the harvester starts end of next week. Had a 74 year old legend of the chainsaw from Hamsterley felling in front of me . Plenty more to do on oversize and hard to reach once a crossing is made in the beck and what we have stacked up is processed. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Nice simple rigging with a safeblock to reduce the load on rigging point, was more for swinging and redirecting stuff than true lowering, botex took over for the heavy stuff, ground was steeper than photos look so stuff rolling down was a real concern.

  25. Post last picture again as hasn't worked I think Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
