I'm sorry to hear that Al, I had been hoping to meet up to discuss logging.

All sorts of politics and things going on down here, and this was the las straw. Just going to sub-contract to other companies with my mewp now. 

I’m selling my WP36 now, as the local planning dept don’t like my logging activities, and piles of timber. Comes with a log lifter and about 7 years old, all works as it should. £6950 + vat

I’m in GU24 in Surrey,

I’m only down the road in West End. I have a grab lorry, avant and 25m mewp available for hire with operator if you need them. [emoji1360]

Not for a week or two like 35yr since i last had any thing to do with one and at the time it just seemed to be a waste of time/diesel/machine hrs for us, watched a lad on a Avant moving timber about 12 month ago with a free rotating grab and he made it look a very difficult but there again its like a lot of other things , operator expieriance , what he moved in a afternoon i could of moved in a 1-2hrs tops with our forwarder, But we are in to production and tonnage not just moving a lone tree from a domestic job, I was all ways told to buy the best bit of kit/machienery you could to do the job and that seems to work for us, i have had cheap kit that are supposed to be up to and do the job but it never seems to have worked for me,

I would say just buy the best you can , so that would be a hydraulic one, if you bought a freely rotating one i can safely say you will think its ok at the start but it wont be long before you realise its just a pain in the arse when you have to keep jumping on and off to rotate the manual one to the right position, then when you are coming through a tight space and you have a log bigger/wider than machine you will need to get off the machine and buy the time you get back in the seat Jim McGravity will of interfeared and the log will be back in the same position, to just push a button is much easier and far more productive and less stressful, just buy the fully rotating hydraulic grab, you wont regret it, was there not one for sale on here around or just after christmas or i could of seen it on fleebay or some where seem to remember it was around the 2k mark and looked as if it had hardly been used,

I'm glad to hear that Oregon ones are problem free.
I do really like the old style Husqvarna combi cans aswell and those are still available around here for 35£.
How good are the spouts on old style Husqvarna cans, are those as good as the stihl & oregon ?

Al you could try Chris at Acacia Tree care on 07812344740

Been asked if I know of a company that covers Tunbridge Wells as too far away from me.

Drop me a message or reply here if you are interested.

Some estate had a survey done, and now need the work carried out.

Cheers

What have you used for that? Is there a kit available?

 

Buy heat shrink from Halfords.

Yes that’s the mike I use and never had a problem with that.
The problem has been with everything else. And I mean everything.

 

You need heat shrink on the wires to protect them. 

That’s interesting. I thought that the Protos comms would not work with Sena.
I guess I’m wrong and that makes me think twice about buying another Sena.
Having four sets and having had several bits break, I’m reluctant to buy another so maybe the Protos is a good solution. With everything internal there are no bits to break, although I can see most employees have the skills to bust the boom mike within 48 hours [emoji35].

funny ive heard this aswell but my 230 which was one of the first (touch wood) has never had a weld go or anything else like that in over 4 years of hard work. 
Same with the 125 i had before that.
Have i just been lucky? 

Brilliant thank you if any help Ben burgess at Oakham have a 735 ex hire one for sale can send you the contact details if you interested? They have lots for sale

Why the upgrade? I would prefer the old style sturdyness over electronic and plastic improvements. 

I would be interested in it if you do

You selling your 528?

Anyone selling a 635 or 640?

Looking to upgrade my old 528.

Cheers

I put some Mictuning lights on my Avant. Lights up like daytime and very good price. Got mine from Amazon.

Are you running a Sugihara light or pro bar?

Hows it lasting?

But they won't take their tops off if they're sober

It’s the bottoms he was after, not the tops 🤣🤣

Human rights, HSE, Fairtrade and whatever have ruined it all now.
 
Back in the day we used to get the new apprentice drunk then bugger him senseless.
Fun times.
