It’s academic and practical

“D” course today, getting trees off power lines

Skogsarbetare means forestry worker Pretty sure arborist has its own category now. It does on the wage statistics. Regarding the earlier post, it’s only forest worker. Forest (skog) can translate into woods but wood doesn’t translate into forest, wood is a material - trä. Wood worker would translate into carpenter.

Yes, but wider wheels = more resistance and more likely to snag on something =harder work to pull imo That TCF looks rather home made tbh. And the wheels look to be set back too far?

First day out with the bandit! Quite like the style trailer ive hired too Started with a few small apples then onto a chunky oak.

Sorry eggs, my comedy genius has passed you by, I got the only fools and horses theme tune in my head reading your post
-
What about V A T? do you ever give money back or a guarantee?
-
Worth every penny imo. Only 43000miles If that was lhd and over here I’d snap it up! what do you think it’s worth @wicklamulla?

Well done for completing the job! I remember when i first started, the lead climber went mental at me for cutting 30cm out then cutting the pegs off - all those little pegs need fxxxing picking up!! Pegs are unnessary and give a false sense of security, they're only good for your rope half hitching them and getting stuck, branches hanging up on them and getting stuck, stabbing your guts, face, balls when you gaff out. Ripping clothing and generally being annoying little wxxkers!

I must admit Paul, I do admire your traveling around, working around, looking around ways
-
Yep, defiantly the best tool for this job! drove inside the housing area too, along walkways, around playgrounds, nimble and no ground damage (helps the grounds frozen though!)
-
Last weeks job plus Monday and Tuesday this week moving wood 40 odd trees down, chipped on site where possible and stems away. Plus team 2 took a break one day to rig down a dying ash, chip on site, log up rest. 8 hours total to drive the logs out (plus drove out some logs from other recent works Monday morning, loading containers tues arvo)
-
You’re right @slack ma girdle, i dropped a log or two today exactly there! I’m sure they could be protected a bit better though? Amazing price! Will be interesting what you make of them @Big J, discount for two?
-
Ah, sorry, i googled Logbullet and it looked almost identical to the Kinetic, i assumed it was model name or something, whats the fully loaded logbullet cost? sorry
-
Looks good, haven’t looked at them for a while, the original ones had big drawbacks apparently, which look to have been rectified (no reverse drive for example) What’s a fully loaded Kenetic cost? With crane extension, joysticks, winch, lighting etc? And weight?
-
Yeah they’re getting expensive, then again alstor has jacked their prices up too! Too whack alstor here is over 80k! Id like a go on the diesel 8000 bison, see what the difference is. This 6000 seems thirsty (might only be noticing its consumption as its running aspen mind!)
-
Had it out again today, and tomorrow too. get more and more impressed each time I use it! This is was this afternoons work, 4hours, 100-400m extraction route
-
Cool that you can get the grinder on the back of the ranger @Tree Man Tom
-
who then works for a guy charging a grand a day, subbing out for 300.......
-
Am i the only one who thinks the title is misleading? No-ones been ripped off, first quote was a bit high thats all, no trees been cut, no moneys changed hands I too normally put a high price on customers i don't like, i can see why the price left was high!

Not on my bench, but next to it, new throttle cable and lever on the chipper, AMAZING service and delivery from @arbrepservices And whilst the tool box was off added some rubber to its base to stop bits sliding/vibrating on the metal-that had been annoying me since getting the chipper!
