Recommendations please Or what "normal" rigging rope is good on speedlines

I prefer my husky technical extreme type a over my pfanner stretch airs type a

Do you have a uk or French licence? How does it work with insurance when you pick it up to drive it over? Do you plan on registering it in France with French plates?
-
Worked in -30, heavy snow Ropes and hitches freeze solid, carabiners freeze, skin sticks to metal, trees can be very brittle The novelty soon wears off I know of company's that go home at -25

The chains not tight, mine does that sluggish pickup if cold, or if not used for a few minutes requires 4-6 blips of the throttle to get it going, once hot its ok. unfortunatly the waiting for pickup has made me close to throwing the worst pro saw stihll have ever made out the tree. thankfully i have my first 020 rebuilt by spud, 2 spares, and had purchased one of the last 200's when in mainstream circulation/stock

Yeah I do on prunes, I there's any relatively long assents I pair the pantin up with a double hand assender with short strop to harness bridge

I've only used mini loaders, ferrari, avant and giant, artic steer not skid. They're a fantastic tool on the right job! Normally use the mick grab (below) as you can't grab brash with just the pallet forks, and logs ect dont fall off, if you're carefull on flat ground you can take up with it too
-
I've noticed it I notice it more with the HD2 filter fitted (which are awesome btw) Don't see it as a problem tbh
-
The best would to have a dedicated saw on it permantly. But then for that cost I'd be tempted to look at one of those little motorised capstan winches
-
Dave, I diddnt want to risk damaging the pump as not a dedicated saw, saws were a 441 and jonsred, so both attachments were used
-
Because the way it attaches. If the nuts loosen (which they done for fun when it was new) and you have the basic strop anchor, you end up putting some force on the saw aswell as the winch. The direct fitting onto the clutch drum is strong so the play goes to the weak point - the roller bearing The mini guide bar fitting was ok but pissed oil down you're leg, even with oiler turned down
-
I've used one, the wire rope is crap, get rid of it ASAP, just bird nests into a tangled kinked mess. Bit of a faff to get it setup (everything seems to loosen and need re tightening for the first few hours use) the direct drive attachment if you're not carefull and set it wrong, or the mounts loosen whilst in use, it can destroy clutch bearings on the saw. Lockite is needed everywhere imo Once you iron out all the first use niggles its quite effective, especially if you set a high pulley in a tree so it lifts the but out the ground
-
Awesome last few pics Dave great zip line.

No, he said If used for business a vehicle (including trailer if fitted) over 3.5t needs a tacho. Then Young drivers can tow 750kg max, regardless of tow vehicles capabilities. This also includes tractors by the way. 1, A young driver can tow over 750kg 2, and be under 3.5t, avoiding tacho Also under 50km of base requires no tacho
-
And although no mention of weight- Note 4 At 16 you can drive tractors less than 2.45m wide. It must only pull trailers less than 2.45m wide with two wheels, or four wheels that are close together.
-
Come on, if you're going to insist you're right check you're facts first From 19 January 2013, drivers passing a category B (car and small vehicle) test can tow: small trailers weighing no more than 750kg trailers weighing more than 750kg, where the combined weight of the towing vehicle and the trailer isn’t more than 3,500kg Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) If you want to tow a trailer weighing more than 750kg, when the combined weight of the towing vehicle and trailer is more than 3,500kg, you’ll have to pass a further test and get B+E entitlement on your licence. You’ll then be able to tow trailers up to 3,500kg.

Be carefull not to ruffle you're bosses feathers too much, IMO a full on arborist tipper van would be a step too far as its pretty obvious you intend on doing more and more of you're own thing.

Nice colours Martin! Break out the 070? Did some too the other week
-
How much would a turner pay for "all those small bits"?
-
The transit connects nicer to drive than the combo, but not as good on diesel (had both)
-
in that case, get the 880 my 460 has a 25", and the 880 36", the 460 does the bulk of the work, and felling on spikes, 880 for big stems only (rarely in the tree) and milling. i wouldnt want a 660 on 36" full time
-
Get a 660 with 25" and 36" bar, much more user friendly, will be used weekly rather than monthly/every other month like an 880 with 36"bar.
-
but like the OP i have my HGV, the O-licence isnt as much trouble as people make out. trouble with a transit is once the tippers a foot deep in chip, its overloaded, IMO, if creating an ideal setup from scratch, a transits not ideal
