We’ve had brand new Rotatec bars and chains twisting so much that they won’t cut (15’’ stuff, nothing special). Others have been fine. Quality control is terrible, and Saturn Machine Knives (Northern Arb Supplies/Rotatec/call them what you like as they are all the same outfit) aftersales is definitely not something you could reliably fall back on!).

Is it this one?!
-
This was on another site a couple of weeks ago - the tractor was a loaner and apparently underpowered for this chipper but it was still doing a decent job. The walking floor self-loading is quite an unusual sight!
-
This cracking setup is on site turning larch into biomass this week - lovely bit of kit (we are making it work hard though!). It was filling these walking floors in less than an hour (which is very good IME - an Albach will do the same in 20 mins but is 3 times more powerful and probably 4 times the price). The chip quality is very good too.

Ultimate brash cart today - the Rototilt making the little Bobcat punch well above its weight loading this thing!

I saw this at a dealers the other day and was really impressed tbh - looked a very smart, well screwed together tool.

It’s a real long shot but if anyone is available to work in Atherstone tomorrow and/or Friday please give me a call on 07970188050. We’ve just had a client increase the scope of some works and could do with a couple of extra bods to help clear small trees and scrub from a site. No real experience necessary, just a decent work ethic and relevant PPE please! Cheers, Dan

What age machine and which control box is fitted? Does it turn over with the key or do nothing at all? Check your fuses (not just blown but corroded blades/carriers). Check the connections on the back of the ignition switch. You might have to take the face panel off the control box to do this. Check your battery terminals and chassis earth.

Two zero two O.

I think it’s UFKES - we had one on a job recently and I was really impressed! They were running this on a loaned tractor whilst there new one was being prep’d (swapping controllers over from the trade-in) and it was apparently massively underpowered - it still did a great job as far as I was concerned! I think they’ll build you pretty much what you want - mounted on tracks/with a bunker/self powered etc. Good bits of kit. IMG_5370.MOV

You’d quickly plough a lawn with haybob tines if you were rough/me!…

If you are working full time for one company then you should almost definitely be employed ‘on the books’ - Google IR35. ‘Grenade…..’

AJ will knock him out in the first 6 rounds.

I’ll counter your massive Valtra with my little SAME - such a great little winch tractor! I bought it last year from a quarry we do a lot of work in - it had only done 2000hrs on a dust suppression bowser. It goes literally anywhere, and uses no diesel ever… …

Looks a lovely tractor!
-
The old girl is ready for rubber… (But struggling to find any forestry tyres in the UK - anybody got any leads?). Pulling out some big larch this week.
-
Was that on eBay a few months ago, front tyres reversed, guarded underneath etc?
-
This! Possibly BP, possibly the RHA, possibly linked to some form of opposition politics - basically it’s a load of spin to achieve a goal, and Joe-public have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
-
If the fuel hauliers put their truck drivers’ wages up in line with Tesco’s etc then they would still have staff. It’s not really a difficult concept.

Rotators are they supposed to move like this?
monkeybusiness replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
It’s only because you are Northern mate - no point in asking any shandy-drinkers as they wouldn’t be able to pull it round like that. It’s probably fine! -
My reference to the prv was the assumption that there is one factory-fitted to the unit, which would allow the saw’s progress through the cut to be moderated to not stall the saw/damage the bar etc. What actually happens if you try to cut timber?

Crane work risk assessment / method statement
monkeybusiness replied to Greenhorn's topic in Business Management
Which insurer are you with who are willing to cover crane hire out of interest? PM if you prefer. -
Have you tried it in timber, or is it just too fast cutting with no load? Does the saw stall in timber? I’d imagine that ram should have a prv to allow it to keep a constant pressure on the bar without stalling the chain - the speed of the bar closing is almost irrelevant as it will slow when it pushes against the timber.
