Hi standing or truck loads Cheers Pete

Hi all looking for hard wood in the north wales area!! Please give me a PM with whats available thanks Pete:-)

Hi all We're looking for Brushcutter and PA1/PA6 operators to work within the Staffordshire area (approx. 6 miles from Newcastle-under-Lyme). Good rates of pay. Working within a small team on a short term contract working up until possibly beginning of December. Successful applicants to start within 2wks. Please PM me for further details.

Hi, it's done 200hr since total rebuild. Its had all new bearings, driveshaft, new roof, new wheel arches, new cables, rebuilt butt plate, new 16ply tires, new pipes and fuel line, the rams have been redone, seriously heavy duty mesh to protect the driver and cab braced with a further 2 triangles of CDS tubing to make it ultra safe. This tractor does everything it should do and more. There's a rebuild thread on my Facebook page if you want to go and have a look at it there, https://www.facebook.com/P-Hughes-Co-Tree-Surgery-Forestry-North-Wales-288570637825929/ I'm not giving it away, it really is a fantastic little tractor. It's just that I'm thinking of selling it to help finance a new project. I'm looking for a County, Valtra, mB Trac.

Hi all Happy New Year everyone. I'm thinking of putting my Holder A55f tractor/skidder up for sale. Not sure what its worth. I'm looking for a bigger machine. What have people got? Please PM me. Just trying to sort out how much money I've got in the kitty.

Hi All Been sat back watching this unfold. We sent a couple of videos to rotatech, didn't realise it was going to get so scrutinised. We were just having a mess around in the yard as we'd finished early. All the timber in the video was hard as hell, 2yrs wind blow Sitka Spruce and we just grabbed a couple of saws and had a mess around with them and decided to take a couple of videos. In the video of the 2 lads cutting either end of the pole, the 576 chain is not on backwards, he may have hit a hard knot, or maybe its just the Dolly has the edge In fact I know the Dolly is more powerful on a cross cut but I sure as hell wouldn't want to work with it all day compared to the Husky. Anti vibe I am impressed with rotatechs products, and I'm not related to them in any way, we're a small forestry team working out of North Wales, and for the price you can not go wrong, as we skid the majority of our timber out. We have found it quite hard to sharpen out in the field, you need good quality files. We asked about this at the APF and there rectifying this? In the past we've normally just thrown them on the bench grinder and take a couple of loops to work. Whilst I was at the APF they also gave me a sample bottle of there chain oil to try. All I can say is it does what it says on the tin. So I've done another short video and tried to get it as scientific as possible. Same saw, same bar length, one rotatech 3/8's chisel chain and one Oregon lp chain, same piece of hard wood, same weather conditions, same operator and same fuel in the saw. Now there's not a lot in it, but one of them is faster. [ame] [/ame][ame] [/ame] It's not about who's got the best chain or the fastest etc, it's about getting the job done and costs for us. But that's only our opinion. Theres no point wasting expensive top brand chain on skidding operations, when you can get hold of cheaper stuff that cuts just as good if not better.

Good evening all We currently have some positions vacant amongst our team. We're looking for PA1/PA6 operators, brushcutter operators and people with cs30, 31 and a windblow ticket would be an advantage. The ability to drive and have own transport is essential for the job. We have 1 full time position available and several Ad-Hoc positions. All jobs are centred around North Wales and the Snowdonia National Park. If your interested in any of the posts, either PM me on here or send me an email to [email protected]. Many thanks Pete
