Greener though, apparantly

depends on tree species surely

awesome chipper!

yer flies undone mick great thread Silky!

Your mogs and fuel lines dont like eachother do they mate? hows its big bro doing?

Cheers Yes, worked well, and gave more confidence I like step cuts, as i think its easier to see the weight shifting, and a good step cut, you have time just to step down below the cut, then order the lift. Also on an Elm i crane felled, i cut straight through on a large step peice, an inch from the end ripped about 6ft up (luckily not down) if it had gond down it'd have messed with my flipline giute a bit!

The 'Cooper hitch' hits Arbtalk pretty awesome hitch

not exciting, but its something 6 Aspens, hanging over a building, dead tops, massive inclusions, previously leaders had fallen out, deemed unsafe to rig [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ancNpaGqTYs&feature=youtube_gdata]Crane felling 6 trees over a house - YouTube[/ame] Quite mundane for a crane job, could have gone smoother, and bigger but snappy poor condition trees, heavy leaves and new crane driver made cautious going on some. learnt a new trick though, when doing tops where i wanted the chains low on thick wood, but meaning the top would flip, i put one or two slings higher up looping the chain and thinner up-rights tight together, thus stabalising the top, but the thinner bits wer'nt taking the full weight. might be contriversial, but it worked

Interesting Treequip, but why can you get props ballanced then?

Insurances-public liability, employers liability, vehicle, machine, kit taxes wages-2 guys vehicle purchase cost, maintenance cost, day to day running cost chipper purchase cost, maintenance cost, consumables cost of disposing of the waste-conifers make alot + saving towards a replacement vehicle/chipper/tools when the current ones die plus the overheads of perhaps office staff, advertising, down days, breakdowns, kit thats not being used that day but still needs to be paid for-like a stumpgrinder Job risk/ballache-if theres a greenhouse under theres a higher chance of breaking glass, not worth claiming on the insurance. if theres a 300m drag uphill throgh a dog turd ridden garden, companys might not even want the work if they have plenty i last lived in the south of the uk, a 2 day job, 2 guys with close tip site would be between £900 and £1300 depending on company, give or take for a straight foward job

look foward to a more powerfull AND lighter saw then

theyre 450 here with free shipping, not sure if thats for 1 or a pair

Nice set up, good luck!

Very Smart!

Whats wrong with Jensen Rich? most would say jensen are one of the top European makes Looks a good setup, im guessing to compete with the GM varitrac range?

Awesome trees there!

This is the company im with now rich, and have been working for this year. As you know ive been offered a tryout at a company alot nearer to home (an hour and 45 nearer!) which for personal/future reasons is the only reasons i may be leaving So its a mix of possibly filling my slot, and adding an extra team due to work load Today we were working next to a waterfall, watched a blonde skinny dip, then off to Stockholm to swing about deadwooding some big oaks
