Sometimes it pays off to carry round everything possible in the back of the truck. Friday morning and 3 stumps in on today’s 36. 15 minutes of down time ?

Typical of what’s available here, ex golf course 50hp, 4000hrs about 4k plus vat avoid machines that are set up for snow clearance

Bark is full of grit from where the snow plough had pushed snow and grit into a heap around the tree. (I'm standing on gravel track) Half decent teeth and fresh spruce disappears very quickly
-
Some rushed pics of some of the past 2 days stumps, 20 stumps in total, most 1-1,5 m diameter. dead ash, elm, oak, few fresh spruce went through about 15 teeth (lots of rock here) roughly 40liters fuel no cleanup

I wouldn’t say the sc30tx is an upgrade from a 252, on par at best

This has spurred me on to sorting out my NI shortfall, Ive tried to contact HMRC about keeping up with the voluntary contributions a few times but computer has always said no due to a catch 22 of no longer having access to the email adress or phone i used to have to sign in. Not been overly fussed as my Swedish pension is far greater than the UK would provide, but it'd be daft to let the uk one slip. Well, its taken about 10 minutes tonight on what looks like a new system they now have to get a new gateway ID. Very easy. Needed to provide Name, DOB, NI number, and UK Passport number. I see I've a £750 shortfall, and i can pay it, but no obvious way of paying! So sent an email asking how i can pay it to keep my full state pension.

Thanks for the info, @GlobalNewark how do i find out if my machine is eligible for the update? Would never dream of engaging cutter wheel at full revs, i do have some mechanical sympathy!
-
Which belts? The fat triple belts need to be tight I burnt through the cutter wheel one, it started slipping now and then but wanted to finish the stump, then it disintegrated. Unlike the Vermeer I used before which could slip all day the tensioner is a bit of a shit design, flip the long tensioning bolt around to make adjusting easier. I don’t understand why it’s the way it is from the factory.

Shouldn't you be concentrating on litres per m3 and ton chipped rather than litres per hour?
-
The blue throw saw wedges are great, plastic rated for cold climates, same width as a guidebar, stack nicely. Bit pricey though
-
Yeah but you buy them, a known quality, tested product through your local dealer

Corona virus brits: We must support local stores! buy British! boycott "made in China" support the British economy! Also Corona virus brits: Ohhhhh some cheap, crap, unbranded shite from China, take my money!!! ??? ?♂️

Regarding zig zag failures and “the good old prussik” How many prussik users, make a song and dance each time they wear out their prussik or “discover” (as I used too ) that they’ve worn through the outer core? probably the same % who dont complain about zigzag cracks and failures

Identify this oak-like tree snowy landscape?

100% what Rich said -
I find its a nice idea to have 2 sets of wheels, but i find when you need the mud tyres, you're on the road biased ones! (Here, Sweden, my summer tyres are all terrain, winter tyres are slightly aggressive road tyres with studs - great on ice, not so in mud) Id go for all terrains and keep a tirfor winch in the back.
-
was he? Sounds like an honest mistake quickly rectified
-
So in summary, one guy gives you a verbal quote, your machine comes in and another works on it (doubtfull he was listening in on the phone conversation or was informed of the verbal agreement) service guy then “does” the invoice. you ring up, highlight the issue and it gets changed without question? sorry kev, but I fail to see the problem?

Mechanical felling wedges

Yep still got mine! for the right trees they’re awesome, a colleague summed it up nicely, so much more civilized than banging in wedges. my wedge lifts a height of 2-2.5 normal wedges -
shorten the Arb trolley to its shortest setting and just hang it on the trailer, then a ratchet strap on the bottom. side weight doesn’t make much difference, the grinder sits snug against the side and the heavier chipper more to the middle. front rear is the important one and still loads of room front and back to adjust the balance (12ft trailer)
