I've worked with just that, 25m hiab style crane with a jib, harvester head, not as great as it sounds

Worst yet probably! First few weeks were great, super comfy, waterproof, awesome first impressions for the price, nice! 3rd day one of the lace hooks popped off, 2 now have popped out, very weak outer rubber toe cap, peeling off, leather of the boots is not durable, a dead sharp peg sliced the leather open, other boot, where the inner edge of he boot touches the tree when spiking has worn the stitching out and is starting to open up, the grip is too hard to unless its mud, the boots don't grip anywhere near as much as I'd reasonably expect. Boots squeak when wet or damp, waterproof ness lasted two weeks tops. Starting to rub my little toe Nearly 5 MONTHS old Conclusion? Will stop being a tight wad and buy a set of meindls

bosch electric chainsaws - do you rate them

My dad has a mains powered Bosch, suits him fine -
Spud, would an 880 need retuning after swapping standard filter for a hd one? Does the hd one restrict airflow more?

0-60 in 6seconds!!! Nice find J Wolfmans scammel is also pretty cool!

Iveco euro cargo 7.5t, you gotta be old enough -
Paid the guy before I drove off with his logs, certainly wouldn't have taken the piss like you did with someone I'd never met before. You wouldn't go to mates pub and ask to pay at a later date after sinking a few would you?

If woodland or heathland being able to raise the machine off stumps or over heather to prevent damage would be a massive advantage, the greenmech safetrak system is great for this, the timber wolf I used at a past company got grounded out in a stump and a rock - poor undercarriage design, and needed me to collect the tractor to lift it off-with travelling it was a day wasted for the stump time. The 6" Jensen is good but the 6"greenmech has better chipping ability and the safetrak system The greenmechs disc blades are awesome, as are the customer service-even on a 2nd hand machine not purchased through them and in a different country, the mechanic Mac spent a good hour of his time on the phone to me guiding me through diagnosing a problem If chipping holly though the hopper of the 6"timberwolf/greenmech/Jensen are all too narrow, the greenmech is the best at pulling in material and chipping at full capacity The bigger 1928 safetrak green mech would be high on my list for your job

Henderson, its not about being an Eco green hippy, it's about personal health-the exhaust from aspen isn't hazardous to health unlike normal 2stroke mix, it prolongs the saws life, doesn't make you gag when cutting stumps in confined spaces like sides of rocks, houses ect, I don't stink of fumes after a days milling, my work clothes can be in the house and the misses doesn't complain! Some people suffer headaches after prolonged use of petrol mix with hedge cutters for example, not with aspen. It doesn't damage your skin if you spill some on your hand Some of us wear £200 helmets, £300 trousers £250 boots on the highly unlikely chance of an accident, but guaranteed exposure to harmfull exhaust gasses every single time we start a saw and suddenly a few quid is too expensive

Another for the 200t 460 camp, bit ironic though that the most popular combo, both saws are now discontinued
-
That's awesome! Budget machine, but self build is cool!
-
Kit form? Awesome! What is it?

May I introduce you to Eco Micro Arb (EMA)

Optimistic speedo! -
Has nothing to do with if the av is better or not, The av mounts on the handle on both 560's have rattled/shaken loose, both 560's are temperamental with starting, both 560's are awesome saws when running. The stihls are 100%reliable, not as fun as the huskys but guaranteed to start and run every day- IME Let me guess, your a husky person
-
The husqvarnas more fun handles very well but very temperamental, the av springs rattle loose, the stihl just goes on and on and on and on. (560 and 361/362)

What would have been cool is to have a dynometer (?) or what ever its called to measure the peak loading. At the workshops I've been to, being able to know the peak load on the riggin system teaches us something, far more than a big snatch breaks a rope, makes you realise the forces involved and the importance of using correctly rated kit-knowing, not guessing the forces is an eye opener for those attending the workshop. Tbh I'd be a bit disappointed going to a workshop, seeing a demo with an obvious outcome and not being able to learn anything-just how much did the rigging system exceed the mbs? That was a 5ton log, but what force did it peak at when it snatched? How far would you have to let a log like that run/be slowed down before it was safe to stop it before it hit the deck?
-
Not sure, the only picture i have of it is on its side! Not as user friendly, no joystick controls so its difficult to grab and raise/lower boom at the same time, jumpy hydraulics, harder to drive, much more basic
-
The gehl isn't a patch on the avant/csf/Ferrari quality for like for like machines
-
Perfect for the dwarfism thread!
-
Nicely done!
-
So he lost your saw tickets, offered straight away to replace them and you have backups? Your making a BIG deal out of nothing IMO
-
Dvla website 20 quid, week or 2, drive with your passport as proof of identity
-
Everything runs on aspen or other alkalyte fuel no problem, from the 200 to the 880
-
Good for you I done some milling last week for a friend who supplied normal fuel, absolutely horrible, clothes stank after, used the saw to cut a stump down near a rock face the next day, couldn't breathe for the nasty fumes!
