-
If its filed to 30 then it's just the same as rm the old 'non comfort' semi chisel chain... sure it's not 36rmx? That is listed as currently available, why yours is 30°is a mystery tho
-
Rmx is semi chisel (rm) ripping chain(x)... possibly sold with the logosol mills
-
Not planned for release on the UK market... according to husky when I asked

Pulling down a half-fallen section of trunk
tree_beard replied to coppicer's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Steel cable... But for your needs I'd get summit cheap and dirty. Cheap and chunky staplesspun polypropylene 18-20 mm. Bit stretchy but you won't break it and it's hard wearing. And about a quid a meter -
I remember the video... different dude tho. Paul Cox is an Englishman living in the u.s and quite an innovator. The Sidewinder is a lanyard storage device.RopeTek But he's a busy tree cutter so maybe easier to buy from; https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=296&item=3541

Marks just better at rigging than you mate. Keep practicing you'll get there in time
-
Couple of dumpy bags laid flat in the bed can be used to drag the bulk of the load out. Last a lot longer than a tarp and have handles... handy
-
VRM =Vehicle registration mark... Which was P10 ART... probably a reasonably costly private plate
-
I assume because in some cases a plate change could be because of something underhand... its not a major red flag, just exercise caution.
-
I read that as.. Truck had a private plate until it was transferred (sold or kept by the owner) a couple of months before the truck last changed ownership.
-
Caution, someone turned the truck gey...

Could always put a 372xp top end on your 365. Couple of hundred quid for a meteor kit... you'd probably lose more than that selling the 3120. Cheapest option anyways...
-
Pardon?
-
Same old Chinese rubbish... It might last you the job.. It might be fine... It might be unusable unsafe tat from the off. As a plus fuxtec is a hilarious name.

To clarify; Coos bay (as described by Beranek) is faceless. Cut a strip both sides, and chase the uncut strip in the direction of fall. Has no directional control. A felling cut for heavy head leaders. Triangle cut is a variation of the "golden triangle" cut. Which involves two face cuts at 90 degrees to the direction of fall, then chase the triangle of uncut wood. Again for dropping heavy head leaders, described in older husqvarna saw manuals. Variations are used for heavy horizontal limbs ( replacing faces with kerf cuts for the triangle, adding a kerf undercut to make a Coos bay a box cut etc).

The same trees I mentioned last night are today crackling away like a bowl of rice crispies... so I think it is currently prime radiata cone ripening weather in north cornwall

Anyone uprated a 4x4 pick up to 3.5 tonner?
tree_beard replied to Andrew Barrett's topic in Arb-Trucks
But you could mount and fire artillery from it without looking overweight... I realise it's tough (impossible? ) to find the perfect arb vehicle, you have to accept you'll never have enough capacity within the 3.5 t bracket. Two pickups however, one with chipbox, one with tool storage and tipping trailer would be pretty bloody good in most situations. -

tree_beard replied to Andrew Barrett's topic in Arb-Trucks
If I were in your situation then a landcruiser 79 would be on the next container ship from Oz... then you'd actually get an awesome truck out of it, rather than something too soft for the job but with heavier, more expensive suspension... -
Dries and burns very well, but rots quickly when not fully submerged. Seasoned alder seems to easily reabsorb moisture if left on soggy ground too.
-
During the hottest day of last summer I experienced a hillside of a dozen mature radiata "going off" sounded like a distant firework display. Really cool to see
-
The most rot resistant timbers seem to take the longest to dry. I always put it down to tannin content. Sweet chestnut, oak, robinia... be thankfull it only takes a stern look to split the chestnut...

How to remove a fallen tree from a canal?
tree_beard replied to Simon Rotheram's topic in General chat
to elaborate, surely the canal trust can put you in touch with a recovery barge with crane. then pull big lumps out and ferry them away. if not tow sections back to where they can be accessed from the bank. its also surprising what a tirfor can drag up a bank with brute force and ignorance...
