You see here, the top cut, although good thicknes in hinge has no complete fibers. The bottem cut has the most complete fibers Something to think about
-
There are times (flared buttresses) when back cut lower is safer. Back cut above with flared roots and even with an ideal hinge you can risk severing the fibers

Good read of opinions on the kinetic here (need to translate it) Kinetic 8T ny miniskotare | skogsforum.se Big plus is standard crane is 4.7m opposed to alstors 3.5m and cheaper. Big drawback is can't drive it in reverse/loading position unlike alstor

Thanks Ian and Mark

Annoying ain't it! Quick reduction this morning

Having a rotating grapple is far better than a muck grab ime. You can drag whole trees out, stack better, load better etc Only thing it cans do is "rake" up

Used a few Ferrari loaders, Good quality machines.

New generation all the way. Once the manufactures have ironed out the faults! The new m-tronic 201t is ace. The first 201 not so The 150t is great The 461 Stihl got right first time, and an improvement on the 460 Husky 560 is great I panic brought one of the last of the 660's. Shouldn't have done that! Likewise a 460, but got a 461 anyway

You live in the fens!!!

Because they're not forest machines, they're for paddocks, yard duties etc, our industry just adapts them to do what we want. Ive been on a job where 3 of us tipped a small Giant loader 4 times in one day! And seen the big avant fall on its side after dismounting a curb at the wrong angle/bit of speed. Saw a video today infact, on faceboox of a Norcar (i think) rolling on flat asfalt by simply turning sharply with empty forks raised.

FWIW I was unimpressed at the 640 running a stump grinder attachment. A grinder attachment with its own engine would be better.

Thats fantastic help Ian, Thanks!

Training employees.. Fair and reasonable?
josharb87 replied to benedmonds's topic in Training & education
If YOU need him to have the tickets, then its all on you IMO If HE wants to do extra tickets which you don't really require him to have, but are relevant, then sounds very fair of you to pay for the tickets and a good compromise for him to take the time off as holiday -

josharb87 replied to benedmonds's topic in Training & education
Sorry ben, I don't think its fair or reasonable for them to be out of pocket in any way. time, holiday, or financially Even the stay away from home needs to be compensated in some way. If not an "away" course, then the guys who can't drive, shouldn't be expected to make their way elsewhere other than to your yard for their normal start/finish times as per a normal working day. Assuming they meet at your yard every day- Thats assuming they're employed, not subbies too. -
Hi all. Ive got a job to price, planting a 100ft long Thuja hedge, which i wouldn't normally do but its a regular customer. Just now its a manky spruce hedge, they want it to be replaced with 2meter+ Thuja, its right next to a small road, first risk is snow being ploughed into the new plants, second is, when its just a risk of frost, salt is sometimes applied to the road.... How sensitive are Thuja to road salt? thanks

Secure enough to stop the opportunist. locking mechanism locks on both sides, so you can't lift a corner like the older mountaintops (i don't know about the newer ones) Also got (although I've not fitted), 2 latches that stop you being able to open the tailgate without opening the top first. its a bit bulkier than the mountain top, feels more robust, and also (according to my mate) greater opening angle
-
Ive got similar to the Mountain top, called "upstone evolve" As per: UPSTONE EVOLVE - PRO-FORM Automotive security, protection, style and ease Its got 2 big wing nut style bolts, one either side, undo them (by hand in 30seconds, and the whole cover is easily removed, leaving just the very un-obtrisuve brackets on the sides Can mount roof rails on the top, eyelets etc for securing lighter loads/snowboards/bikes etc

Anyone sell a Husky on eBay last October? ;-)
josharb87 replied to jamallio96's topic in General chat
Did you contact the seller about the mistake? As it sounds like you're boasting about being dishonest?! -
Yeah, but in this new one, ill be able to drive off the road, roll down the ditch and pinball off the trees Faster

My first Hilux (F reg) ended up looking like that one Bullet proof trucks

The 2.5 started at 102bhp i think. Ive got a 3.0 auto, 2015, averages 29mpg mixed driving, 10% towing. The auto is lovely to tow with. I saw a pic of someone with a 5year old 3.0, chipped and a performance exhaust getting 50+mpg driving on a long run, with all terrain tyres

Discount the Vermeer straight away. Literally had it side by side with the little greenmech 130 on monday. The GM was far better.
