how much does it weigh? -
ha ha sounds familiar, a few years ago we were clearing vegetation for the installation of a new car park at a small kent airport. we were told by air traffic control that all planes landed from the same direction ie furthest away from us and that they would notify us of any incoming air traffic by the cb's in our machinery. we were forwarding the timber across the end of the runway all day without hassle until the owner of the airport decideds to land his small private plane at the end we were working, so imagine his and our surprise to see 2 large tractors and a sodding great loading shovel in the middle of his flight path. We all ducked for some reason (as if it would make any difference) and his landing gear passed within a few feet of our heads. Needless to say we all went upto the control tower and had a go at them for not telling us he was landing and allowing us to cross in front.

not really interested in bagging it as i know the margins arent massive as we had a guy on our farm who used to bag up artic loads by hand and deliver them to stables. was more interested in getting rid of it loose and in bulk if there is a customer for it, all kiln dried timber if it makes any difference, 40 yard ro ro skip full a fortnight.

how much is sawdust worth in a similar quantity to those piles? does it matter what timber its from?

ladder????? wtf! thats the aerial for the telly in the dash board

It's a fair sized job in a crap area for a controversial project so I'm keeping the details quiet!! I was working over near you at kings wood the other day for the council

Got a few large clearance jobs coming up over the next few months and looking to sell some of the timber at roadside rather than me carting it all off site and back to the yard. approx 150 tons of norway spruce dbh 6 - 20 inch - Kent / Sussex border good access for artics - could load with 360 or timber crane if arranged with me first havent worked out volume / quantity of timber yet but 30 acres of mixed birch, hornbeam,oak ,ash and some sweet chesnut mostly below 12" dbh so good for processors. near 10mins from junc 10 of m20. access unsuitable for anything bigger than 6/8 wheeler rigid so no wag and drags or artics. PM me for more details if interested

dragged it down the pile with another 25 tonner and refitted on the ground, used a hand winch and the other digger to align the track due to the weight of it...... at least it wasnt muddy...downright miserable then
-
yeah they dont take long on little machines, undo the greaser pull the idler back in with a strap pop the track on and your away. i had a track let go on a 25 tonner climbing up the side of the chip pile to load an artic with wood fuel......... that took more that an hour to put back on!!
-
stevie looks like you got a flat track!
-
Yeh that's less than 5 miles away from me, looks to be a good price at moment

where in kent are ya mate? what diameter is the wood? how much you want at roadside or price at the stump? cheers -
I use a cordless makita circular saw for pretty pretty cuts on fencing as it's a nice clean cut with a non ripping blade. 57mm depth cut so you will have to cut from both sides. With the adjustable angle on the blade you can tenon triangular arris rails and cut joints accurately

K&N filter and a cherry bomb exhaust should boy it up a treat! Put stick on viper stripes from halfords all over it automatically adds 35hp

Poor turning circle, not very good off road, pretty Tall to use in the woods with lots of very very expensive glass to break. On long runs with wide roads they are ok but if your running around mainly on narrow lanes they won't be much quicker than a normal tractor due to the width as you will be burying wing mirrors in the hedge trying to pass stuff. We ran a 65kph 3185 fastrac alongside a t160 valtra with identical trailer and loads and only on flat sections did the jcb pull away but when it came to a hill the valtra had it's weights buried in the back of the trailer in front

i got a tp250, good chippers as others have said.
-
is it worth approaching other sectors of rail work and seeing if you can get a coss from another firm?? any industry working on the rail from cleaners,painters to fencers will have to have a pts trained staff and coss if they are working lineside. another thing would be to try the pts training centres, when i did my pts the accessor was a coss amongst other things and was regularly out on works for vegetation clearance

jack knifed artic in the village this morning, roads so bad missus cant get to work... ah the log deliveries will be fun today!!!! could do without all this as its making ground conditions too wet to get machinery on without causing a right mess

my mate has a 1200 with a big farmi crane mounted behind the cab and a stroke processor on the rear linkage. gearbox packed up on his and replacemnt parts are difficult or expensive to come by so he is trying to fit a massey 590 box in it currently.
